food food glorious food

my partner made the bestest food ever and I have to wait for our writing buddies to come over so I can eat it. *flails hands*

you have maybe heard of baba ghanoush? this is NOT that. no. this is much, much MUCH better. because it involves ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses and my mouth basically melting and curling up in a corner and purring.

(also if I eat too much it's bad because of that sliiiight eggplant allergy but I CARE NOT omg omg *flails hands*)

I attempted to make gluten free cookies for our friend who is coming over. they are mostly okay I think. like delicious and full of chocolate but consistency sans flour is hard. anyway, I tried.

also here is a funny comic that accurately depicts my monetary priorities when I have money by Sarah Anderson.

That comic is TRUENESS ITSELF. Ahem.

Eggplant and ground walnuts and pomegranate molasses is making my mouth water even over the internet, wow.

I love Baba Ghanuuj, despite hating aubergine. Go maramcreates!

And that comic is my life, obv.

Food. Yum. Friends. Yay!

I have some gluten free recipes which are ok. I like a mix of arrowroot, coconut flour, and almond flour.

I love baba ghanoush. The local Syrian restaurant makes it with yogurt which I particularly enjoy. They also make beet baba ghanoush and, I think, zucchini and/or carrot, too.

If you want some links on gluten free cooking, I have a friend with celiac and a recipe blog. She recommends a site called Chocolate Covered Katie. I've not tried any of the recipes at either site, but my friend swears by them.

Pomegranate molasses? That - that's a thing? What kind of thing is it? If it's even half as amazing as it sounds it must be heavenly, oh man. :x :x :x :x

I don't like walnuts, but I do like baba ghanoush, and pomegranate things are so great, so I would probably be all over that. :D

If you'd like gluten free recipe recs, I have a couple of friends who play with all sorts of different recipes in the eternal quest for 'best dessert we can have now that wheat flour's proved to be bad for us', so I'd bet they'd know a few things. :3

Or you could just make pavlova, if you have an electric mixer. I mean. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like pavlova. Assuming there's no egg allergies, anyway. (Don't even attempt it if you don't have an electric mixer, though. It's way too much mixing for anyone.)

...and now I wanna bake, but it's 1:30am. I can't bake at this hour, Mama would wake up and murder me. In the morning, though, maybe. That would be nice. :3
