Growing up in maple syrup country, he's probably talking about sève or sap, because I don't think he's ever heard of résine. Never let language get in the way of enjoying a snack.B: ... the peanut butter is like the thing who sticks, who's sticky in the tree.
G: The bark?
B: Y'know, the cire...the sear...the seal.
G: The seal?
B: No, it's... I don't know the word, but can I taste this one?...

ants on a log
Ben recently taught me how to make this excellent snack and now he can teach you in this HUGE video clip (18M, but worth the wait for fans of Ben). You may want to test the waters with the compressed version. Raisins are to ants as celery is to a log, but what about the pb?

PMC is kickin' it multi-media!
ReplyDeleteTonight I asked B if he knew what resin was and whether that's what he meant. "Yeah, yeah, that's it." "Sure you don't mean sap?" "No, resin. It's resin" (Now I get to mess with him... as Jean Chretien.) "But, monsieur, you tell me dat de resin were de ant. De resin cannot be de peanuts butter. It is, 'ow do you say, eemPOSSeebull." "No, Dad, not raisins, resin!" "Dat's what I say, resin!"
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious that one day Ben is going to star in his own cooking show, where he will reveal the culinary subtleties of Ants on a Log, as well as sushi, Stilton cheese, and Hot Dog Mountain.
ReplyDeleteCould you as him to invent a snack inspired by Groucho Marx?
Dear PMC:
ReplyDeleteBen has travelled far since his debut in 'Thunderstorm' by Ben and Uncle Bob. Will Ben show us his pie crust some day? Will Nate assist too?
And by the way, the pan seared steak and au jus in my birthday skillet avec PMC's patented process is a hit throughout Port Credit. Tank yu for da tip.
Thank you
