Party Prep

Leading up to Canada Day tomorrow, here are a few
party worthy recipes from the French Web:

Thew first two are fried wonders, for  young adults:
Quinoa Galettes and Polenta Croquettes. The third is a
party cake made with tea time cookies, and which I remember
from my own childhood (although our family recipe had coffee it,
which set me up for a life long addiction).

My father's view was that one should have an early and measured
introduction to things like coffee, gin, and cards.

Moving on,


The idea on these galettes is that the quinoa is cooked, the broccoli chopped 
and fried, and the two made into friable galettes with a lot of egg.


Polenta is an Italian sidedish of  cornmeal much like glutinous rice, often made 
with an addition of cheese.The Comté cheese cited in the recipe is a variety of
Swiss. Once a sheet of polenta is made, one makes small rolls which go through
the usual flour, egg, breading routine, and fried, much like mozza sticks.
Add parsley.


A chocolate batter is made, using dark chocolate, and alternate rows of batter 
and chopped cookies are assembled, baked briefly, and served with powdered cocoa.

Serve with gin!
