1. Cucumber salad

2 Cukes, peeled and sliced thin

Especially a light sauce with fish.

Yum!

5. At last! Something we can agree on!

Hey, how've you been?

:hi:

[Mojambo]

9. And to think, it took disgusting capers to bring us together.

I'm good. Just watching it rain... and rain and rain.

Early June in Seattle

What's shakin' for you?

11. Nasty day. Feels like March.

I'm just hanging around with the goony bird that's *still* at my place. (Would a cockatiel fill the empty space in your life?)

I should be getting stuff done, but I just feel like being lazy.

[Mojambo]

14. I'm actually terrified of birds.

Particularly parrots and cockatiels!

I'm even a little scared of chickens if you can believe that.

I just don't want to get pecked.

[Darth_Kitten]

16. why be scared of a little cockatiel?

they just want scritches and love like any other creature.

[yewberry]

18. Well, this particular bird doesn't want scritches.

I can't tell if he wants love, either.

Mostly, he seems to want to bite my hands. That, and whatever I happen to be eating.

[Mojambo]

19. And to peck your eyes out with their devil beaks. n/t

6. Thinly smoked salmon, diced red onion, capers on a crisp piece of rye toast

topped with a horseradish and sour cream dip. Pure heaven.

[datasuspect]

8. throw some shaved boiled egg in that

and i'm coming to your house!



yes, that dish sounds divine.

[hatredisnotavalue]

12. Yeahhaa! God's food! I agree I was missing the egg. n/t

7. Chicken Piccata

The dish just ain't right without them.

[Texasgal]

10. oooh yeas!

I was gonna say the same thing!

[Lethe]

13. chicken scallopini

thats pretty much the only dish i've had them in

capers are always the thing you buy for specific dish, use about a teaspoon of them, then they sit in the back of the fridge for months

[Mz Pip]

15. Everything!

Well, almost everything. I get the large Costco size jar. I love capers. I put them in pasta salad. I make a marinade for fish and chicken with garlic, lemon juice and capers then barbecue.

Lemon, garlic and capers works great in many Italian dishes. Also garlic, tomatoes, olive oil and capers go well together.

17. Chicken (or pork) Piccata

I make it every once in a while... very tasty.

[AlCzervik]

20. Chicken Saltimbocca

[mike_c]

21. LOTS of things....

I toss them into most braises to give the reduced sauce some interesting flavor.

22. Serve Them With Smoked Salmon

Layer smoked salmon on a plate with thinly sliced onion and a handful of capers. Drizzle olive oil (EVOO) over it and serve with a dark rye bread. Great appetizer.
