Comments on: A minimalist panzanella to make grandparents proud http://umamigirl.com/2009/03/a-minimalist-panzanella-to-make-grandparents-proud.html A food blog by Carolyn Cope Thu, 17 May 2012 14:25:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Carolyn http://umamigirl.com/2009/03/a-minimalist-panzanella-to-make-grandparents-proud.html/comment-page-1#comment-587 Carolyn Thu, 26 Mar 2009 20:45:05 +0000 http://umamigirl.com/?p=756#comment-587 Jill, you could most definitely pull this one off! It's been vegetarian central around here recently, right? Rita, thanks. Chickpeas are becoming my new best friend - I love that they can turn anything into a meal for about fifty cents. Daphne, I love it. What a nice, grounded dish to start a life with. Addie liked it well enough but said it was "spicy" because of the raw garlic. If you think that would be an issue for Sam (or, you know, your neighbors or whatever), you could easily saute the garlic a little in the olive oil before cooking the bread, and before making the garlic/salt paste (just crush the clove a bit first). I love the punch of raw garlic once in a while, but I know not everybody does! Jill, you could most definitely pull this one off! It’s been vegetarian central around here recently, right?

(by the way... our pancakes were yummy... not as gorgeous and fluffy as yours, LOL... and more on the stove than in my belly, but yummy nonetheless!)... um.
