Well, hello there, you fine, hungry human!

It was a long, hard day today and I was pretty beat when I came home… so I had sloppy seconds (also known as leftovers).  That’s my little pointer for you today, luv.  If you find something that you really like in your belly, make sure to have it again and again. Make enough every time you cook to have some more later, and you will  always have a little something waiting for you at home.

Since I don’t have a fresh cheeky recipe for you tonight, I’m going to share some of my favorite slathers with you…

First: Thai Kitchen green curry paste. This is a little spicy, but doesn’t burn too much. Feels like when you drip hot wax on me.  It’s got plenty of body and a squirt of citrus. None of the top 8 major allergens in this bad, bad boy. Mix two tablespoons of this with a cup of coconut milk and a tablespoon of your favorite sweetener to make a wonderful curry that can be poured over your quivering vegetable or meat dishes.

 

Next: Fig butter. Figs are sexy, no lie. They, not apples, caused Adam and Eve to do the naughty thing.  The symbol of my favorite Greek deity, Dionysus; figs have a long history of association with sensuality and excess. Since most of us with food allergies can’t enjoy those childish Newtons we used to eat, we have to grow up and enjoy a more adult version of this decadent fruit of the gods.  This delightfully sinful “butter” (which has no butter) is so beautiful spread across your favorite tongue.  Serve it on a soft slice of Chevre (that’s French for goat cheese), or stuff it in dates that get hugged tightly with Prosciutto wraps.

Both of these wonderful pantry staples can be found at Trader Joe’s. He’s my favorite John… er Joe.

All my love,
