I could not have possibly attempted to cook more dishes today after like 7pm. I'm exhausted. But I succeeded in producing a lot of variety.
- Apple and Parsnip Soup
The soup was something that I had in Seattle and attempted to replicate poorly, I had too many apples in there probably prepared incorrectly. I ended up adding some spices, like nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, ground cumin, and salting it. It became a bit more savory, and had a lot of flavor but I missed the mark on this one.
- "Aloo Mutter" - Potatoes and Peas with tomatoes and spices
This came out pretty good, I haven't ever really attempted indian food due to the number of spices that I don't own. I had time today though and went to the organic market. I got tiny quantities of every single spice I needed out of the bulk containers. It ended up being like 4 bucks, and I probably tripled up on everything. I cooked the potatoes separately in tumeric, and pureed sauteed tomatoes, shallot, green chile, garlic, and ginger. threw it all together with some toasted cumin seeds, put some more spices in and added peas.
- Basmati Rice (plain)
just cooked in a rice cooker, no butter.
- Steamed Dinosaur Kale w/herb nut sauce (pumpkin, cashew, cilantro, parsley, olive oil)
The kale was steamed in winter broth, and tossed with herb nut sauce.
- Grilled Savory Baked Tofu (Packaged)
- "Apple Hill" Cake
This recipe comes from my sister, she sent it to me in my email today. I think she's been making it since we were kids living at our parents house. It came out okay, a bit more moist than I'd like it but its fool proof, thats what my sister says. she's right.
- Chai, to go with the cake... maybe in the morning, no caffeine at this hour.
(might fill in details later, food coma time)
