A Le Cordon Bleu Paris graduate, Hector Playuk is currently the Executive Chef for Jack’s Bar and Restaurant in Washington DC. This restaurant gets big kudos from us as it is 100% wind powered! One of their signature lunch dishes is a Caesar Salad served in a crispy parmesan bowl, and in this video Hector shows us how to make the bowl.
Note: It is absolutely essential to use a nonstick pan for this, anything else will not work (we tried!).
Recipe instructions: Make the Parmesan bowl using 7-8 ounces of cheese for each bowl. For the croutons, simply slice a baguette into cubes, coat in olive oil, garlic powder or fresh minced garlic, salt and pepper, bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. In a regular bowl, toss romaine lettuce, croutons, shredded parmesan cheese and caesar dressing, then add to the parmesan bowl.

Well last week, I thought it was the end of the Topsy Turvy tomato plant. However, this week has brought a pleasant surprise. That plant has started to perk up a bit and is growing new leaves. Good news for me! I still have my doubts but we will see how it goes. I am not going to count out the Topsy Turvy until the plant is dead and leaves have shriveled away. Now I think it will perk up and become a great plant. Time will tell however.
A couple observations this week:
- The upside down plants do not need to be watered as much as the potted plant. The sponges in the bottom of the planters stay wet which is still allowing the roots to gain water. - The upside down plants do not get as much sun as the potted plants. I am guessing that it is because they are shaded by the planter mechanism directly over the plants whereas the potted plant is always exposed when the sun is out.
Interesting… Well form your own opinion on how they are doing by watching this video of this weeks… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)
