Bocconcini


Bocconcini (<SMALL>Italian pronunciation: </SMALL>[ˌbokɔnˈtʃiːni]) (singular Bocconcino, <SMALL>Italian pronunciation: </SMALL>[ˌbokɔnˈtʃiːno]) are small, semi-soft, white and rindless unripened mild cheeses which originated in Naples and were once made only from the milk of water buffaloes. Nowadays they are usually made from a combination of water buffalo and cow's milk. Bocconcini are packaged in whey or water, have a spongy texture and absorb flavours.
This cheese is described by its Italian name which means small mouthfuls. It is made in the pasta filata manner by dipping curds into hot whey, and kneading, pulling and stretching. Each cheese is about the size, shape and colour of a hardboiled egg: indeed an alternative name used is Uova di bufala, or “Buffalo eggs”.

My dinner tonight is Kraft Rising Crust....by choice :lolsign:

Last night was my version of easy peasy Chicken Parm (chicken coated in crushed Corn Flakes with Italian seasonings that is baked in the oven on a wire rack) topped with Catelli pasta sauce with oregano added and mozza cheese. Roasted garlic mashed taters, and fresh Chilliwack corn YUM! and a garden salad.

Tonight was chili dogs with all the fixin's for the guys and Coconut basmati rice with grilled chicken and Oakanagan peaches with white wine for my poor mommy that is having a rough time after her surgery:cry:

Gee, harbie, all of those sound so good....
We had Italian smokies on Italian buns (well, of course), with pasta salad.

Very good Bring Your Steak BBQ tonigh! And lots of rum! (Did I mention the rum?)

I'll have some rum! Yeah! :P

Rum sounds good right about now!!! but I have to work today! LOL

Im gonna make a chicken stir fry tonight, need to actually start using some of this food up we have in the freezer!

I'll probably do a veggie stir fry tonight with my Europe's Best Zen Garden

I am finishing up my holidays at my parents' house in SSM and in honour of my 36th birthday today, my mother is making my favourite: lasagne, her way and my favourite way! YAY!

Okay, so I 86'ed the stir fry idea, that will probably be tomorrow. We are having President's Choice The World's Best Meatless Burgers.

I've had them before and they're really good! :)

Chili and garlic bread.

I didn't post earlier as I usually do, because I wasn't sure til the last moment! I made oven-fried chicken with homemade potato wedges, and a variety of crudités. 'Twas yummers!

Last night was tofuloaf with smashed potatoes and yellow peppers and cucumbers on the side with dip. So tasty!
