MAT pins FOOD ALLERGIES to the FRIDGE

Safe Curried Apple Chicken with Art School Rice

Found this recipe at http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com/2009/08/curried-apple-chicken-stir-fry-recipe.html and it looked delicious, so I tried it. Minor changes: dates for raisins (allergic to grapes means allergic to raisins!), no garlic, added a splash of coconut milk to try and make it richer. Not bad, but definitely not as delicious as the arty title and enticing photo led me to believe...I'll definitely try more of Karina's recipes though. They're simpler than many of the other gluten-free options I can find online.

Karina's version:

My version:

Safe Coconut Rice Pudding

2 cans of rice milk
2 cups of water
half a bear of honey (extracted with a butter knife)
1/2 c jasmine rice, rinsed
cinnamon and vanilla to taste

Simmering this up right now...way more practical than pancakes given the contents of my pantry. I'm so buying pancake mix. But pudding is a natural breakfast selection, and can be adorned with strawberries, which I have. (Based on a recipe found a recipezaar.com, with substitutions.)

Results: watery, not so much pudding as a loose rice cereal. Will still be my primary source of breakfast for the week.

Next time: stir more? less coconut milk?

. . .

Note to self: Do NOT write blog while cooking. Pudding boiled over and made a glorious sound. Caught it before it made an inglorious mess.

It's On

Day after my birthday, and I'm soggy with the birthday love hangover, gut sick from an extravagantly unsafe dinner (Italian, fancy, including 3 courses). Making coffee and poking around the internet to find an easier buckwheat pancake recipe...

START STRONG

Safe American

Steak, marinated in oil, vinegar, ginger, lime, pepper
Yellow sweet potatos, sort of peeled and mashed with olive oil, salt, pepper
String beans sauteed in garlic with salt and pepper

Hint for life: salt and pepper and olive oil. They make dinner.

The residue of the feast:

Countdown to official foodlessness

Tomorrow is my birthday, and the official fade in. Come Saturday, the start of Ramadan, I'll be fasting in the whitest possible way. Though I'm allergic to the body of Christ, so this is no Catholic Ramadan.











Unsafe Coke



***Breaking News***
"Do you know Jesus" says a 14-year-old black boy in the pop-up ad that just caught me. What's the product?

Zooey Deschanel is allergic to food too!

And she's hot!

I'm more gangster, though, cause I eat MEAT.
