What's Cookin'?
It’s not that I haven’t been cooking, it’s just that I haven’t been posting. In the past few weeks I have made a few things, I tried a new pancake recipe, made some Ginger-Carrot-Pecan Cupcakes, made some Chai, bought some dilled green beans, a purple bell pepper (yes purple!), and just this morning made some whole wheat cinnamon pecan pancakes.
I’ll start with the most perfect looking pancake I have ever made:
I know its not “model perfection” but it does look pretty tasty. I’ve deemed it the best looking pancake because, well it is. Its almost perfectly round, with uniform solid color throughout. There aren’t any wierd little bubble holes, or pouring mistake lines in it. It looks just right.
I’m weird about food like that sometimes, leave me alone.
One weekend while a southern friend was visiting we went to the flea market which also includes food vendors. One of them was selling purple bell peppers. Yes PURPLE.
They were pretty weird. The taste was a mild pepper taste, kind of bland, but they sure did look nice!
If you’re wondering if the color is carried inside of the pepper, it is not :(, its white inside:
The purple color fades as you cook it as well. Rather disappointing.
Then there was my chai disaster:
Lets just say trying to use a coffee filter to filter out the spices didn’t work so well. I’ll let you know when I figure the recipe out, I’m trying to make chocolate chai. For now I’m going to stick with my tazo.
As for the green beans, the cupcakes and the new pancake recipe, you’ll just have to wait.
