Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch. ~ Orson Wells

Have any of you seen the movie “War Dogs”? Go see it now! Laced with humour, and a severe pinch of reality, this movie will make you doubt all governments, every President of the United States, and make you fall in love with Bradley Cooper a tad bit more. Okay, that last bit is just my own bias towards the handsome actor!

Do we really live in such horrible world, where going to war is encouraged so a selected few can make a some major bucks? Throughout history, individuals, states or political factions have raised war for gains… but in the process, ‘the spoils of war’ have taken a larger precedence to the real issue, and sadly, the ones to suffer the most are often used as the reason to war. In the end, “war is an economy” in itself.

Okay, back to food… these buns have a standing of their own. Inspired by a Pinterest post, that was oozing with melted cheeses, I tried my own version. Dialling down the cheese content to a mixture of Parmesan and paprika, and stuffed with the luscious green spring onions, and soaked in butter… they melt in your mouth…

These are perfect to serve as appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, or as side bread to an Italian feast.

I have always been the biggest fan of cinnamon rolls for special occasions, but my general cravings are usually for cheese-y salty, garlicky decadence. and bread is a forever love affair. so this recipe is adapted from one of my original cinnamon roll recipes, but a tad bit sturdier to hold the heavier wet filling these will fly off the cooling rack faster than you can say kitchen therapy!

Lemon Butter Sauce for Pasta

This is one of my favourite sauces that is so versatile - it goes in pasta, on top of grilled vegetables (w zucchini being my fav combo), with baked potato, rice, orzo, marination for fish - the list is endless. I make this butter sauce in the morning for the evening, and whilst some say you can use it upto 2-3 days, I've never had it last beyond that one meal, no matter how much I make of it!  This recipe to make is more of a sensory one, adjusting as per your mood for the day, and also if its to be cooking instantly, drizzled lightly on top, or marinated for a while - the adjustable ingredient being the wine and lemon juice. Make this a few times, and you'll get the hang of it. Each time I dress up the sauce based on what I have. This time I used a lot of capers, tomatoes and pistachios, and few pink peppercorns. But I have in the past added basil, parsley, coriander, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts etc!

One morning I woke up craving scallion pancakes, and ever since, this has become breakfast at least once a week. The authentic version is a lot more pan fried than the one I do, simply because I do feel a bit of guilt, but for me, the taste does not differ too much, except perhaps it is less crispy and flaky than the authentic version.
