I’ve just been making these sort-of-falafel burger things, i basically

- take whatever beans i have at the time - lentils work well, chickpeas (favabeans are what you’re supposed to use if it’s actually falafel)

- boil them til mushy and throw in super fine diced onion and garlic,

- pour away most of the excess water, chuck in any spices you have - just put in mixed herb - parsley would be ideal

- anything else that looks fun - I threw a bit of lemon juice in, some tomato puree and a bit of honey

- stirr round the pan (preferably non stick) until the mush sticks together coherantly and any extras you’ve thrown in are folded/mixed in

-scoop a bit of it into my hand and cup both hands arround it and shake (it’s too hot to roll) into balls, and then just drop them into a frying pan - (which i had greased with preservative oil for my cheese lol - but any oil will do)

- squish them onto the pan, and push them about, and turn them after a few minutes

# voila - jacob’s homebrew falafel - which isn’t really falafel……. vegie burger - ish, maybe - but ready to serve!

Last night i had it with chips which i’d boiled and covered in spicyness then fried. and a few days ago i made them and wrapped them in arabic flatbread with tomato and red pepper relish.

But I can’t do recipes, i end up just making stuff up. If i worked in a restaurant people would order a salad and end up with roast beef.

in regards to the rest of your entry i think : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wvgvhDLb1Q .

I know you like dinosaurs and well I was just in Meijer and they have gummy dinosaurs! I have no idea if it’s a new thing but just thought I’d pass the word on. : )

Ah okay! I was so confused~ Still sorry to hear about yesterday, but I’m glad to know that things are going to work out between you and Tom. :)

Ah! I definitely think you should try this recipe:

Spinach Spaghetti Pie! Mitch&I made it a little while ago. It’s a winning recipe from a Taste of Home cookbook! Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!!!!

That IS a cute idea! :D I’m excited for you.

Umm, I highly recommend pumpkin ravioli because that’s my favourite dish but I don’t have the recipe yet. I’ll pass it on when Lisa and Jessie finish driving across Canada!

I think that’s the first time you have EVER “spammed” me.

Yeah, he gets my stamp of approval.

And he’s the same as the pie-and-tea guy right?

I adore these new little images in the posts. As for what to cook, I think you should create a pasta bake because you haven’t done that in a while.

I don’t know Tom either but he sounds like a sweet mother fucker. He’s the friend who tends to get sick at the same time as you right?
