A Royal Tingle

-
So because everyone else is blogging about the royal wedding today, I thought I'd start out with the way cooler version:


The title of my post actually comes from the pudding like substance I'm eating right now. I think every single one of my hairs are standing on end right now because of it! Weehee. Oh, and it's royal because it's the colour of things British people eat... like mint jelly? Sure, to some of you this recipe might be as tasty (or... untasty?) as the culinary arts of the British Isles, but this weird taste sensation was too weird not to mention. I give you:

A Royal Kiwi Tingle
4 kiwis
12-ish basil leaves
1 heaping spoonful of soy yogurt
(I'm sure any yogurt would do)
Directions: Blend away!

Oh, and blogger tip of the day: If you have a curious kitty and you take food photos on your floor, he will:
  1. Get in the way of the photo, causing it to be blurry and obstructed
  2. Taste it...
  3. Remind you why he's the cutest thing ever!!!

Have a great weekend!

    Funny ad! I miss stuff like that since I don't have TV. Cute.

    For a minute I thought you made a raw veganjello with kiwi. It kind of gave me an idea for something like that. And glad the kitty aproves.

    Haha, yep I definitely feel I miss out on 90% of social references because we don't have a TV either. That's why Facebook helps keep me in the loop somewhat...

    Oo, it might be nifty to try a vegan jello. Can't say I ever ate much jello either way, but it would be neat just to try! I'm assuming agar might help do the trick? I'd be curious of anything you come up with!

Why Cooking is like Piracy

WARNING : Recipes are like the Pirate Code, they’re just guidelines I find exact proportions in cooking totally overrated. I love the way old medieval recipes were written: they just listed ingredients and then gave you a rough idea of how to assemble them. I admire the confidence that old recipes required that you have in the kitchen, the ‘just wing it’ attitude that compels you to trust your ability as a cook. Consider this awesome fourteenth century recipe for apple pie from The Forme of Cury compiled in 1390 by the master cooks of King Richard III: XXVII For to make Tartys in Applis “Tak gode Applys and gode Spycis and Figys and resons and Perys and wan they are wel ybrayed colourd with Safron wel and do yt in a cofyn and yt forth to bake wel.” In other words, mix together apples, pears, raisins, figs and spices—probably cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and saffron—mix and put it in a pieshell, the ‘cofyn’, and bake. That’s it! Seems very low maintenance, doesn’t it? It

Eat: Turmeric Milk, the perfect night time relaxant

Oh, turmeric, you and your majestic golden hues, how you warm my nights and allow me to fall peacefully asleep, dreaming of warm humid summer nights, candles, and sequinned baldaquins... too much detail? I discovered turmeric milk thanks to my friend Kristen, who has been using it as a pre-bedtime sedative for quite some time. As someone who often has trouble sleeping, I was skeptical. As much as I love chamomile, lavender, and all the usual tricks, they haven't always worked for me. I've heard of the whole "drink a glass of warm milk before bed" idea but never tried it myself, thinking such a thing would be too heavy before bed. Yet, this new concoction won its way to my heart. Clever, turmeric, you. Turmeric, the beautiful orange spice from India, is from the ginger family. (Go figure, I love  ginger.) Ayuverda and TCM boast that turmeric is anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and helps deal with internal and external infections. Doctors have more recently fo
