I Heart Okra

Okra, local farmer's sausage, and pasta shells.

Flax-White Bread

It's a habit now to make a small batch of dough once or twice a week. Bit of a devotion to fresh flatbread, or warm cinnamon rolls...you know. ^^

Chocolates

I made these on Valentine's Day - the three types:






Cardamom

Nutmeg

Marshmallow

Baba Ghanoush

I made Baba Ghanoush for the second time in a week, and this time used the recipe here. Yes, that is yakinori keeping the Baba Ghanoush from seeping out of the holes in the dish. I'm hoping it doesn't affect the taste too much before it's all gone! ^^

Lime-Garlic Chicken

Flipping through the cookbook Middle Eastern Cooking by Suzy Benghiat, I came across a recipe for chicken wings (on page 28, if you have it) with lime and garlic, two ingredients I'm crazy for. Rather religious about garlic. I wanted to cook a whole chicken to have leftovers...so I did. I put like 13 cloves of garlic in it, a lot of lime juice, some chili flakes, cumin, salt, and black pepper today because I couldn't help myself. Something about grinding the pepper makes me feel happy.
