\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been reading various food blogs for several years now. I have more cookbooks than one person should have. Ever. Especially if that person works in a public library where she can have free, easy access to a variety of cookbooks on pretty much any topic she pleases. And that’s before you even think about all of the cooking information and ideas that are available on the web.<\/p>\n

But, as everyone knows, just because it shouldn’t be doesn’t mean that it isn’t.<\/p>\n

So, to honor my heritage as a food blog lurker (or perhaps to defile my status as a lurker), I decided that I would participate in a challenge<\/a>. What can I do with the following four ingredients: artichoke, asparagus, tuna, and vodka? And the other question is will it be good? I hope so since this is what I will be eating this evening.<\/p>\n

In other cooking news, this morning, since I took the day off from work, I decided to make pancakes, chocolate pancakes. I topped them with maple syrup and berries. Very delicious. AND, I got enough of a chocolate fix that I think I’m set for awhile. These pancakes come from Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian<\/a>. <\/em>Next time, I think that I would make a sort of syrup out of the berries and skip the maple syrup. Or, I could have used cherry juice concentrate. Or, I could have done something with bananas to make a topping. I think I’ll have to make these again just to see what toppings I could come up with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
