Culinary Adventures with Camilla

This recipe came to me in response to  my call for wonderful sidedish recipes   on twitter- not as a blogpost of her own, just as a tweet from @Jayasax . So, I am posting it here. Seventy-three characters. Impressive. Though this is not my recipe, nor have I tested it, it is similar to a fresh relish I've made before, pre-blogging days. And I will definitely give this a try before the year is through. Thanks for submitting it, Jaya. Cranberry relish! 2 c. cranberries, 1 c. orange, 1 c. sugar, grind it up!

Intrigued by this challenge - to write a tweet-sized recipe, including the 8 character hashtag of #140food - I submitted this : #140food Earthy Braised Lamb Shanks. Dredge lamb shanks in flour. Brown in oil. Braise for 3 hours in coffee and beer with shitake mushrooms Here are a few of my favorites! I'm shocked...I could actually follow some of these. What do you think?

Okay, I was intrigued by this challenge : to write a recipe in 132 characters or less. So, I gave it a shot... #140food Earthy Braised Lamb Shanks. Dredge lamb shanks in flour. Brown in oil. Braise for 3 hours in coffee and beer with shitake mushrooms And here's my actual, verbose recipe post . Think they'd turn out the same? Probably not.

Sometimes I am an early adopter. Such as with fennel pollen. I read a blog this morning about getting fennel pollen in your cupboard before the foodies. Huh? I've have fennel pollen in my cupboard for years. Sometimes, I'm just not. As in twitter. And tweeting. Just signed up with twitter. Bear with me while I figure this out. @Culinary_Cam
