I Visit Macon

GA-00219-C~Greetings-from-Macon-Georgia-Posters
Today was a big deadline day for me.  Not taxes, a grant proposal due in Macon, GA today.  It's only an hour and a half drive so I decided to take myself and my 15 unbound three-hole-punched copies down to Macon and hand deliver these babies.  

I got off the highway, crossed the Otis Redding Bridge and the Ocmulgee River, and in like 30 seconds arrived at my first stop, the Community Foundation of Central Georgia.  Handed in my proposal and headed back to the car, which was parked within sight of the Harriet Tubman Museum.  So I sashayed over.

The museum has a wonderful folk art collection.

Across the street is the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.

I didn't have time for something as grand as this. So on to the next stop, another foundation in Macon where I will be submitting a proposal in a few months.

They still have head-in angle parking downtown.  Love it. I parked across the street from a restored Opera House:

Then I headed over to the Macon Telegraph, the daily newspaper, to see if I could shmooze with the education reporter, but she was out for lunch.

By now my OTP adventure was getting a little old.  So I headed back to the office in Atlanta.  But not without a little side trip to the Tanger Outlet.  It sucks, just like every Tanger Outlet.  There's nothing to buy, but I was suckered in anyway.

I bought one thing, for Sam, for $1.99.

What I'm Reading

What I'm Cooking

  • Cheap Ceviche
    This is almost a mock ceviche because it's made with junk fish (tilapia) and surimi, the tofu of fish. However, with the right amounts of lime juice, cilantro, onion and hot sauce, even cheap fish makes a fabulous ceviche. I chopped up a 1/2 pound of tilapia and combined it with 2 packages of chunked surimi. Marinate in juice of 5 limes, 1/2 red onion chopped fine, and one head of cilantro chopped fine. Add a healthy squirt of Sriracha sauce and refrigerate.
  • Collard Greens
    My CSA is sending us lots of green love in the form of collard greens. Here's my very delicious veggie-but-smoky recipe. In a large pot add 1 cup vegetable broth, 1 cup water. Nice pinch of salt, and 3/4 tsp. Spanish smoked Paprika. Add your chopped collards and simmer gently for at least 45 minutes.
  • Tzatziki Sauce
    Just outstanding on everything. Take a container of Greek style yogurt (no-fat, low -fat, doesn't matter). Grate 2-3 thin skinned middle eastern cukes on a box grater and squeeze out all the water. Mince 3 cloves of garlic VERY fine. Stir cucumber and garlic into yogurt, add a splash of olive oil and a grind of black pepper. Dunk in vegetable of your choice, slather on spanakopitas, etc.
  • Polenta
    Apparently the par-boiled polenta I'm using is considered ca-ca by serious cooks. I've found it to be utterly delicious, especially smothered with sauteed portobello mushrooms. I will give plain old yellow cornmeal polenta a try after Thanksgiving.
  • Hangar Steak
    Grilled in a cast iron pan in the oven, on broil. Remarkably tender and so quick. Salt, pepper and smoked paprika for seasoning.
  • Brussels Sprouts + Corn
    A smashing combination -- the bitter tang of the Brussels Sprouts with the sweetness of corn. Saute with olive oil, salt and pepper. C'est tout!
  • Stuffed Cabbage
    My favorite recipe From the NY Times Jewish Cookbook, made with fresh cranberries and canned cranberry sauce. Total yum.
