Default R &D aka goofing off

Some days I just want to stretch creative muscles and will come up with a name for a dish.....then try to come up with a version that matches the name or visa versa.

Mushroom Pate was the latest venture......I made a duxelle....shrooms, cream, booze, herbs/spices then added some gelitin.....sprayed a bowl with Pam and scooped the goo into the bowl to jell and unmold serving cold.

After coming up with this name I hit the regular suspects; Pepin, Silver Palates 1 &2, Martha's hodos.....none had anything like it.

Recently I've paired hummos with pesto and feta, only the hummos is made with olive oil no tahini, no herbs, no lemon juice.....just garlic, evo, salt.....
again, not seen it prior to rifting.....

What have you guys created recently?
