Burgundy wine jelly (as seen on the half-off rack at Safeway)
Grated parmesean cheese
Mix.
Yummy!
Not as good as a minion shake, but still good enough to make me wriggle happily. Our waitress was uber sweet. The bartender lady who served it to me was I think scared by my tastes, and declined to have some. Pity.
2. Pizza w/ palm seed, raisins, onion salt, & bacon salt.
Pretty good, actually; probaby one of the better desert pizza concotions I've made to date. The raisins didn't really contribute though; not enough covering to keep them moistened and away from the heat, so they got dry and bland. Palm seed is interesting and will probably become a regular future component of my cooking. Comes in waaaaay too heavy syrup though, had to rinse 'em off. Bacon salt was an excellent combination here.
3. Peaches, palm seed, & yogurt slurry
Simple to make (just uncan and mix), pretty good. Only moderately WTF.
One suggestion I got recently (made I think more as a fear of what I might do than a suggestion, but oh well) was to try yogurt instead of red sauce as a pizza base. Will need to try at some point for a desert pizza.
Haven't been cooking much WTF lately. But not been cooking much lately at all (for definitions of 'cooking' that don't include merely making pasta or grilled cheese). Meh.
Oniony stuff fried in butter etc first, then just dump everything in, raise liquid level to appropriate level, and simmer.
I think I added a bit too much peanut butter (two mounding tablespoons) and too little bacon salt (a lot). But 's still pretty good.
Next time, taro and raisins.
Might be better with grilled banana, but I was too lazy to do that.
Not bad.
Me: (shaking bacon salt onto the grill) It's going to go fast. :|
Ryan: It's good.
Me: It's disturbing.
Ryan: It's disturbingly good.

Vanilla yogurt
Coarse red bean paste
Green manzanilla olives
mix
Yummy. The olives are very discrete, non-leaky, and very strong contrast flavor.
Moderately high WTF. I'd give it ~600 mS. Less than one might expect though.
Boyfriend was too scared to try it. Hmph.

Pasta
Mushroom pasta sauce, garbanzo beans, tofu, butterscotch, peanut butter, golden raisins, hot sauce, crushed frosted wheat squares type cereal as thickening agent. Simmer for a while.
Mix, serve.
Very tasty and filling. Needs more raisins, maybe somewhat less thickening.

Rotini. Drain, add mexican cheese mix, soymilk, coarse generic grape-nuts, golden raisins. Stir.
Very tasty. Would probably add more grapenuts stuff and add it first next time (then add cheese) for better distribution. Maybe also regular raisins. Chopped onion? TVP? Sour cream? Hm.

Maybe add chopped onion?

Not really WTF, again. Maybe I'm losing my touch...

Quite good. Only very mildly WTF (lemon juice) but in a nice subtle elegant way.
(Yeah, shock. Hush.)

I find myself craving another mint-and-psuedobacon milkshake. Maybe next time I'm in Santa Cruz again... or I could just get the ingredients & make some myself. Hm.

Garlic sourdough bread slices. Spread one side with butter equivalent, put that side down on skillet, top with cheese (cheddar/ jack blend in this case; usually something w/ cheddar). Sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano. Fry until the bottom is crispy and cheese is melted.
Yummy.
Reminds me of Audrey; it is one of the only foods we both actually enjoyed and therefore could make / eat together. (She mostly only likes simple "comfort food"... and, well, you know by now what my cooking is like.)
