I am so incredibly stoked to have my own kitchen again. So stoked that while in Minnesota, I bought five cookbooks. Yes, five (but they were each under ten bucks). Lunch today was soup. Homemade chickpea and spinach soup with garlic. It is an improvisation of a recipe in one of the cookbooks. I would like to be able to follow recipes, but not if I have to spend an arm and a leg on some the spices they call for. I had to go without five of the ingredients, but I made it work. And I made it much healthier. Rather than using a bucket of heavy cream and tahini, I used non-fat yogurt. I figure if you mix cream with tahini you probably get the tanginess of plain yogurt… so I used yogurt. And it is deeeeelicious.
Next on the recipe to-do list is peanut and tofu cutlets, thai chili corn fritters, and experimenting with eggplant. I have never been very good at preparing eggplant, but I hope to change this. Mmmmm! I love my kitchen.

Watch what you say. Due to excessive spambots, the following words within a comment automatically send it to the trash without my ever knowing: any word associated with the primary male and female reproductive parts, any word you might find on a porn site (including the relatively innocent and multi-functional "breasts"), any prescription drug name (yes, even prozac and amoxicillan are off limits), any form of the F word, and "mp3" is out too. Sorry. If for any reason you need to use words like these within the comment, I suggest you get creative and find another way of saying it. Also, because filters don't care how innocent your comment may be, words like title, analyst, cocker spaniel, Emily Dickinson, etc. are off limits. Can you guess why?
