Lemon and Fish, Why Not?




You might wonder why we don't routinely serve lemon with our fish dishes. First, a little bit of history. Fish has always been a staple of seafaring and ocean going peoples. Before refrigeration was ubiquitous, that fish wasn't always stored in a way that would keep it fresh and palatable. In fact, that was impossible. Lemon was the answer. It's acid helped to neutralize the effects of bacteria on the fish. It's sour taste and strong aroma also enhanced the flavor, particularly of that not so pleasant week old fish from the medieval market. But that was then and this now. Not only do we have excellent refrigeration everywhere, but even fishing vessels that are far from shore have giant refrigerated holds and flash freezers. Freezing techniques are better than ever and frozen at sea often makes it hard to tell the difference between the fresh catch and frozen one. So back to lemon; when we want it in our recipe we add it. When we want you to have it on your plate, we provide it, and if you want it because you're in the habit, just ask, but remember our fish is delivered by Louie Andrade, a top notch fish purveyor who takes the catch from the docks to us. It's just so fresh we don't assume that you're going to want lemon on our fish.

Cookies


Most of you are familiar with THE chocolate chip cookie, and those of you who are regulars here are familar with OUR chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies, you know, the ones in the cookie jars near the cash register. Some of you come in every day just to get your fix. What you don't know is that we've been making those cookies for over a quarter century. Back in the early 80s when I was looking around for the best cookie recipes and I was overwhelmed with the variety and styles, I finally threw up my hands and called Mum. We haven't looked back. On any given day, we sell anywhere from a few dozen to a thousand cookies! Yippee! It is well known in my family that my mother was not a great cook, but she did teach me the basics and she did a few things very, very well. Chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies were right up there. Sadly, my mother passed away on Sunday. She lived a long and fruitful life, cooked for lots of people, cared most about sharing the love and so today, anyone who asks me can have one of Mum's cookies...for free! Love you Mum. This photo is from 1953! The cookies in it are my mother and my sister, Meg.

Bananas

We use a lot of bananas and frankly, they're hard to keep up with. Seems like they're either too ripe or we've run out! The bananas in this picture are just right for bread pudding and in another day and or so they'll be just right for banana bread. Fortunately, bananas can be stored just the way that we want them. When they get to that perfect ripeness, we freeze them until John is ready to work his baking magic. Okay, it's science, not magic, but we can't give away all the secrets.

Interesting facts about bananas:

They can be stored in the fridge; the peel turns brown but the flesh stays firm and white.
They can be frozen. Just peel them and put them in an airtight container. Let them thaw and use them in any recipe.
They are endangered. We eat the Cavendish banana and it, like everything else on this planet it seems, is in trouble. Just Google endangered banana and you'll find out the truth. Sad. Don't throw any away. If you don't know what to do with your old ones, bring them to us; we'll make banana bread!

History!


This article was printed on January 2nd, 1895. For the past ten years I've been telling people that the building was built in 1894 and so it was, but the brewery didn't open until January 1st, 1895. We occupy the "state of the art" stable described in the article. The brewery itself burned in the 1970s and was bulldozed under some time after that. It would make an interesting urban archeological site. Anyone interested? The city owns the land.

Catering Today

Today we are closed on the retail side, as we are every Saturday, but Harvard School of Public Health contracts us to cater breakfast, coffee break and lunch for a quarterly program that meets on the weekends when the cafeteria isn't open. It's a good gig, I enjoy the client, Colin Fleming is a pleasure to work with, and the end users, those pesky people who eat the food and have to be kept satisfied! They're a multi-ethnic multi-cultural bunch with varied tastes and generally pleasant demeanor. They appreciate me. I appreciate them. What they don't know, mostly because they don't ask, is that there is a whole crew of people to back me up. They see me and rarely anyone else, but there's a chef, a salad maker, a sandwichmaker, a baker, and a dishwasher involved directly with producing their meals. Obviously, I couldn't do it without my co-workers, so for all those times I've been thanked, I want to pass the thanks on to the people who make it all possible. Jim, Bernadette, Shylicia, John, Imelda, Amparo, Hoang, Lilly, and Eddy...Thank-you.

Corn Bread

Mix all the dry ingredients

2 cups cornmeal
1 cup white flour
1 cup wheat flour
1 t. salt
2 T. baking powder
½ cup sugar

Mix all the wet ingredients

2 well-beaten eggs
2 cup milk
4 T. melted butter

In large bowl, mix together until dry is just barely incorporated into the wet. Do not beat.


Bake in 2 buttered loaf pans at 350º F. for 35 minutes or until pick comes out clean.

Every oven is different, so be prepared to leave it in a little longer. We use a commercial convection oven which generally runs hotter and cooks more efficiently than a home oven. Corn bread freezes pretty well, so go ahead and freeze one of these, but don't wait a day. As soon as it's cool, wrap it airtight and pop it into the freezer. When it's time to take it out, let it thaw slowly at room temp and it will taste pretty much like the moment you put it into the freezer.

A few tips about freezing:
Fresh in, fresh out. Stale in, stale out.
Evaporation, or drying takes place in the freezer just like anywhere else. Wrap it tightly or it won't last.
Even wrapping has its limitations, take it out in 90 days or less.
