mystizan was talking so much about the tastiness of plantains that I had to give it a try and my experiment with fiery plantain soup with corn was a huge success. Both roommates admitted they were skeptical when they heard about it (so was I) but the result was delicious and filling. And it's one of the quickest, easiest recipes I've ever cooked. 20 minutes tops. (The recipe I link to is in German, if you want it translated let me know).
I served baguette with garlic butter on the side. And changed the recipe in that I fried the plantains in a separate pan so they'd get nicely brown on both sides before putting them in the soup.
I've been watching Arctic Air ep. 8 today and was a happy camper. Something about this show... it's about a little airline way up in northern Canada. It's not genre, not mystery, no aliens, spies or serial killers, nothing like my usual fare but something about it draws me in. I mean, other than Adam Beach who plays the lead role. (Today I was thinking how what this show could use is a shirtless!scene and behold: partial shirtlessness. :o) Anyway, apart from the really charismatic lead there's the interesting, diverse ensemble and the fascinating setting. I hope the show develops the way it has for the last few episodes.
Obtaining ep 9 is proving something of a challenge (I miss MU).
Speaking of obtaining tv eps, I borrowed the complete Stargate SG-1 box set from a friend. So handy. I've been watching it chronologically with the roommates, who know only a handful of episodes. It's nice to revisit the Stargateverse. :) I've never been as hardcore into SG-1 the way I was into SGA, but SG-1 has some fantastic episodes that I'm really looking forward to rewatching with other people. Plus, I still haven't watched most of seasons 3 and 4 myself.
