DISSICATED WASABI PEA CAKE.....





 Thinking about food, at 3am, I stared into the fridge....noting a very small (1/4 cup) of leftover waffle batter....hmm.....adding some pecan meal and almond flour, some cinnamon and powdered toasted coconut, then moistening the now dry mixture with buttermilk....I had 1/2 cup of still-thick, cold paste.....hmmm....while cooking, bubbly golden brown, some molten butter and almond oil, I added a handful of desiccated wasabi-coated english peas, pressing the clump..flat....then flipped the 'cake' over to embed the peas and caramelize the sugars in the 'other' side in browned, unsalted butter......a mix of agave syrup and sourwood honey, to which a pinch of smoked paprika had been added, was then drizzled over the small cake.....VOILA! a new concoction.......

I asked "Are your chicken wings as good as the ones at Thaicoon...down the street? "...... So, minutes later a plate of greasy, underseasoned 'wings' appeared, accompanied by some wilted, tasteless 'celery sticks' and rubbery 'carrot sticks' and a bowl of el cheapo ranch dressing.....the 'commercial' kind that comes in those huge plastic jars..........ugh!......then come the desserts.......my dinner companion had a sugary chocolate brownie...made, of course, from a commercial mix.....(add water and, maybe, an egg and a cup of saturated liquid fat......probably corn oil), dump on some
