Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rincewind's Potato Cakes are pretty good -- better than bought hash browns.

My brother and I made Wow-Wow Sauce, but we deviated from the recipie rather a bit after we found wasabi paste in the back of the cupboard. I think we ended up adding that, a fair amount of powdered chillies, and about a teaspoon of brown sugar. Remarkably, it worked rather well, serving its purpose as an explosive condiment for red meat admirably.

I made the dried frog pills for a joke present for a friend's birthday... but I think I added galangal or something as well as the cinnamon, because, made by the book, they tasted a little dull.

My brother an I tried to make Lord Downey's mint humbugs, but all we ended up making was a sugary, sticky mess. An edible mess, certainly, but a horrid mess none the less.

I've made something very much like the figgins before, so I imagine they would work well, too.

Once winter rolls around again, I fully intend to have a go at Slumpie with Clooty Dumplings... with some modifications, again.

As an extra note, I've not made too many of the recipes yet because I'm translating the ingredients into cups instead of millileters and grams, so...I think I've got about half the recipes translated so far.

Oh yeah, I've also made the Bananana Soup Surprise. Good times, my friend, good times. I put too much of the stuff into my blender to puree it, so the top exploded off and the kitchen and I were covered in hot banana soupy goodness. It buuuuuurns! Of course this was while company was over. To this day, my best friend, her husband, and my husband refer to it as "Emily's Banana Ambush". Ruddy sadists. stare

I've yet to see the Cookbook in my local bookstore, but I've got in on a disc. Whoever did the scanning had to be drunk, but thats what I get from getting it on a torrent. It's mostly legible, except for the ingredients. Due to that, I didn't actually know the recipes were edible. i just read it for the double and triple entendres. blaugh

I've used coconut oil as a massage oil, but never for cooking. whee
I find the taste to be a bit overpowering. Then again, if I decide to make a variant with coconut flakes in, coconut oil would be just fine. Palm oil gives the least overwhelming taste, aside from crisco (I have relatives who can't have soy, so I learned to do without crisco anytime they're in town). It's just ghastly kinds of expensive.

I haven't seen the cookbook yet...is there a recipe for scrumble? I have plenty of apples.

Well, mostly apples... sweatdrop

Mm'mm good.
Say no more!
xD

Nod's as good as a wink to a blooooooooooooooooiiiiind bat!
