what i put in fake moroccan curry

RECIPE PLZ. Unless that’s just up to individual taste.

4. chard, with homemade sweet and sour ginger sauce (as just made and devoured by me).

thats all the stuff i put in. sometimes i put in potatoes or chicken or fish or this jamaican jerk sauce with mango and ginger. you put it all together in a pot!

lots of tahini is key though

Noted. I hope the Persian market near me opened again, they were remodelling last I checked.

hope they can reopen in time for the premiere of ’300’!!

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 cups beef broth

1/2 cup halved pitted Kalamata olives

1/2 cup golden raisins [STORE DIDN’T HAVE ’EM WTF]

1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 teaspoon lemon peel

I’m always ready.

WACKY COMMENTARY

(6. dark chocolate truffles)

that recipe looks like a winner!! since last year kalamata olives are my new staple

6a. dark chocolate anything

personal fave: Dagoba brand chocolate, infused with lavender and with whole blueberries

oh man, i ate nearly half a container of kalamata olive hummus today at work.

7. pine nuts, esp. when used in stir-fry

And yeah, that stew sounds great!

pine nuts are so fucking expensive

I’ve made a batch last a good while. But they are addicting.

I have to elaborate and link: http://www.dagobachocolate.com/

Touts its eco-friendliness, which is grand, but it’s also some seriously fantastic stuff. Look for it at your local hippie mart.

GUYS I LOVE BANANAS. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BANANAS?

We were speaking of bananas...

i hate bananas. fuck bananas.

fuck you & your “fuck bananas,” sir!

15. trader joe’s hefeweizen—less than a dollar a beer!

-15. trader joe’s blueberry yogurt, which has the consistency of mashed beans. :(

16. WARM SOFT COOKIES

How can anyone hate bananas? To hate bananas is to hate LOVE.

Not to mention a major dishonor of your simian ancestors!

This is the lunch I am making—we ate all the chicken out of the coq au vin last night, but some delicious savory broth remains. I am heating it to a simmer, and will then poach a couple of eggs in it. My husband thinks I am crazy.

I think you’re a freakin’ genius.

dude, take her

quiet, you.

strong coffee <3

i hate bananas. fuck bananas.

wow this post is 2 years and 1 day old

do you still hate bananas?

no

i mean i dont like them but im not nearly as vehement about it

you should be kind to bananas. they are a peaceful fruit.

i do my best

i am sure they appreciate that, max.

until you destroy them with gnashing of teeth, that is.

i dont destroy them though because i dont like the taste

i gotta taste for destruction

2 years and 1 day from now i think i might show up on max’s doorstep and when he opens the door i will mash some banana into his hair.

tbh im not really sure how that follows estela

but i would be extremely excited if you visited me regardless!

I would like to witness this event.

i was hoping you would help me with fruit selection and navigation to max’s house.

i will lead you through the zone

i make myself eat bananas every day but why do they get disgusting so fast? it makes me gag to eat an overripe banana

watch her gag on my overripe banana

^ impiety ketchup

i forced myself to eat a banana today too, and yes overripe is fuckin evil disgusting grossness

overripe bananas are teh suck!!!!

i completely hate them, also i hate banana strings.

oh banana strings are just the worst!

eww gross i hate them too

they appear all delicate but are really a pain in the ass to try to chew if you get stuck with one in your bananabite.

those hard dry little banana bones up near the stalk are terrible too.

banana bruises are also disgusting

and that little black bit in the tip

& the way the skins blotch and shrivel in the trash.

the way they give you a rootin’ tootin’ butthole

That’s not very polite

Nor treatsy

phbbbbbbbbbbbbbt

like i said, bananas arent very good

dirty secret: i like banana laffy taffy!

ew

i know :(

tza u r a treat and u r getting treats—i mailed yr care package today!!!

co-worker tells me bananas are going to get swept out w/ a new diasease and we’ll have to start over with new bananas, some other strain. and that this happened before, and before 1950 bananas were totally different.

banana crisis, is this true?

also

Have just been informed theres a peanut butter crisìs

about 12 hours ago from txt

that may be true, i read it in the nyt this summer. seemed kinda fearmongery though.

perhaps bananas can serve as an example for nonprofit arts institutions and reinvent themselves into a better, stronger, more sustainable fruit.

cycles.

things are changing.

US pb is crappy anyway, so no loss there

you know what else is a treat? fuckin BISCUITS

are you talking about cookie biscuits or biscuit biscuits?

smoove operator i’m baout to put some USA PB&J in ur gears we’ll see how ‘smoove’ u are then!!

american biscuits! can’t believe it took me 7 months to finally try one

ewww another gross americanism: pb&j

and jordan had the nerve to look at me wide-eyed when i asked him to make me a cheese and jam sandwich

does that mean cream cheese? i used to eat that all the time

i am still confused about what biscuits are and i am a american

she means these? (i am confused too)

Treat: leaving work early, reading and coffee in a diner!

those are the biscuits i meant! the bakery here does these amazing cheddar and chive ones.

not cream cheese: just regular cheese

why is US pb crappy

too sweet

even the salted stuff is really sweet

justine have you not noticed that peanuts have an inherent sweetness?

even the no sugar added is really sweet? i don’t get it

justine, have you had boiled peanuts?

they dont even grow peanuts in australia

oh, that nutty southern hemisphere!

or NOT nutty!

MAX U SPAZ I AM NOT FROM AUSTRALIA

oceania

i hope it is not overripe

no it was perfect

MAX U SPAZ I AM NOT FROM AUSTRALIA

i can’t eat avocado, it makes me ill. i liked it when you said the guacamole, harbl, it was a treat.

you girls are treats.

you are similarly endowed with treatsiness, estela.

if i ever meet you i will note not to make an avocado and grapefruit salad.

wadr that sounds like not a good salad

i could see them mixing well. i mean, with other ingredients.

avocado and citrus compliment each other well.

i could see them mingled together in a barf bag.

O_o

that looks like my poor oesophagus if i ate your salad.

*sigh*

i was just trying to be nice by saying i would NOT make you a salad like that!!!

tsk to you, lady

fair enough, it was very nice of you to dream up a terrible salad to not make me.

come visit. i will not make you a whole meal

thank you, i will.
