Culinary Dictionary: Letter O
I have been doing some domestic improvements both at home and on the blog. Right here, I added more categories and tags to the recipes. At home, John and I have had workers for the past three days repainting the exterior of the house. We went for a deep brownish-green which I think would look lovely with the red geraniums I am planning to plant. Things are starting to look a little cleaner, a little prettier, a little at a time.
Letter O is ready. All Terminology Thursdays are now grouped under the Culinary Dictionary category and easier to locate. I hope you find the choice of words tonight interesting.
O’Brien Potatoes: Diced potatoes fried until golden and crispy with onions and peppers.
Oceanic Bonito: A type of tuna known as skipjack or striped tuna.
Oil Stone: A sharpening stone used for honing knives.
Olivada: an Italian olive spread that’s very similar to tapenade.
Orgeat Syrup: Pronounced “orja”, it is a sweet syrup made from almonds and orange blossom water. It is mainly used in drinks.
Ouzo: An anise-flavored liqueur similar to French Pastis or New Orleans Herbsaint.
Letters A, B, C, D, E , F, G, H , I , J, K, L , M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z.

I wonder why I've never heard of olivada?! A new discovery for me to make!

Cheers to "O"…It is always a great to feel a bit more organized and when things start to come together.

All about "O" were new to me! Nearly bed time now, so I'm dreaming about the O-foods ;)
