Ran into a glitch and could only upload 25 photos rather than my usual 36. I clicked something early on in the Mosaic Maker program that drew only from my last page of Favorites; there were 36 there but some of them didn’t show up so I selected these individually. I’m going to try a second mosaic (I missed posting one last Monday) and see if I can get past this 1-page limitation.

Thanks to all the wonderfully creative Flickr-ites whose photos are represented here. I love seeing through your eyes!

Jerk Chicken breasts with Bib salad and tostones 001

My first tostones. I made them from a recipe I found on the food network, which might be blasphemy to some, but my mother is Irish! I needed some very basic directions!

Recipe:
www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_2334…

3 to 4 large unripe (green) or barely ripe (slightly yellow) plantains
About 2 cups olive or canola oil, for frying

With a sharp small knife cut ends from each plantain and cut a lengthwise slit through skin. Cut plantains crosswise into 1-inch-thick pieces and, beginning at slit, pry skin from pieces. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1/2-inch oil over moderate heat until just hot enough to sizzle when a plantain piece is added. Fry plantains in batches, without crowding, until tender and just golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. With tongs transfer plantains as fried to paper towels to drain.

Remove skillet from heat and reserve oil. With the bottom of a heavy saucepan or a wide solid metal spatula flatten plantains to 1/4-inch thick (about 3 inches in diameter). Into a bowl of warm salted water dip flattened plantains, 1 at a time, and drain them well on paper towels.

Heat reserved oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and fry flattened plantains in batches, without crowding, until golden, about 3 minutes. With tongs transfer tostones as fried to paper towels to drain and season with salt if desired.

Serve tostones immediately.
