chocolate

[rootofnewt]

yes. it's one of those nights.

so far i've made no-bake cookies and chocolate spice bars. i didn't put nuts in the spice bars... and i only had 3/4 cup light brown sugar, so i used a 3/4 cup turbinado sugar with nearly a tablespoon of blackstrap.

yum.

and earlier tonight, i boiled some fresh green beans, then tossed them with olive oil, sesame seeds, garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. they were great, except the recipe called for me to toss them with 1 tsp of red pepper flakes... i used 1 tablespoon.

oops. fire. in my mouth. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

that's enough for me.

too much sugar.

and pepper.

i'm do not fear nightshade

is a good thing... peppers are lovely. i like spicy foods, even spicy-hot. red curry paste, however, makes me nauseous. it's a little too hot and not sufficiently spicy, i think. i like hot peppers because they speed up my metabolism. i feel more energetic for awhile. :) the capsaicin [sp?] must do good things to joints, too.

as for hoosierland. born and raised there. :) came to DC for uni and ended up staying in the area. i'd love to go back, but my husband fears tornados more than anything else. since his only nightmares involve tornados, i'm trying to respect his wish to avoid tornado alley. *sigh* i miss having real weather.
