Plantains
Jim cooked me some plantains! Mmmm!
The skins needs to be sliced first and then the flesh peeled out.
Johnny Depp
This is just a happy bit about Johnny Depp. We all like to hear about favorite celebrities being grateful to their fans. He has been in the area lately since he is playing Whitey Bulger in an upcoming film.

I wish I could try your delicious dish. And I would like to have a cooking husband ;) That must be heaven ...
ReplyDeleteI love Johnny Depp! That's so cool he is in your town.
ReplyDeleteI love plantains. Being a midwestern girl I had never had them until I met my husband, who is from Haiti. They are a staple in his country, and we eat them when they are green and very ripe.

That ring looks like fun! I can just imagine the designs with this one :) and those plantains look so yummy ... LOVE those! I'm with Jim on crowds, but it would be fun to meet Johnny - always been a fan
ReplyDeleteThose ring bases are cool! You should make some Val ;o)
ReplyDeleteAnd, you got me hungry again! I shouldn't read your blog, before going to bed! LOL! My brother always talks about plantains. I should try them!
What do you mean,the skins needs to be sliced first and then the flesh peeled out?
Johnny is in your town!!! I really shouldn't have read your blog before going to bed! LOL! I would have jumped him! Who cares about his fiancee! LOL! He still looks cute bald!
Big Hugs ;o)
Back in the day I would have braved the crowd for a glimpse of a celebrity, but not now. It's exciting just knowing I might be near one now! I've never had plantains but would like to.
ReplyDeleteNever tried plantations. Love Jonny Depp! He was filming here a few years back and my friend was trying to talk me into stalking his hotel. It didn't work though. I was too chicken.
ReplyDeleteNice ring base. I cannot wait to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteYum! I love fried plantains!

Love plantains fried or mashed! Not too many Cuban restaurants in Seattle so I may just have to cook some of these!
ReplyDeleteI love plantains my Mom can do a lot of sumptuous dishes with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love Johnny Depp too
he is so cool.
Hi Miss Val! I love fried plantain in a little butter drizzle some condensed milk and sprinkle cinnamon yum yum oh and a glass of milk! That was my cravings all thorough Sophia's pregnancy!! During Xavi's cravings was tamales and home made flan!
ReplyDeleteBy the way yum yum about Johnny Deep...but in that character he looks like Nicolas Cage :(
Johnny Depp. Wow! I love fried plantains. I've had both kinds and I love them both for different reasons - the ones fried and sweet (very ripe) and the other ones that are salty (green). I have one of those tostoneras to make them flat, but I haven't tried it in such a long time. Maybe this summer?
