09.19.09: Green Day

THE MEAL:
-Sweetcorn Cakes and Avocado Salsa



Still sick with FakeSwineFlu (a close cousin to MaybeMono), but determined not to let it get the best of me, I decided put the sweet corn I still had left over from the farmers' market to good use. It was beginning to look a little sad anyway, and there was no way I was going to let such delicious produce go to waste.

So, though still very woozy, I found myself in the kitchen, teaming up with the Magic Bullet to produce these little cakes. I don't know if I used too much cilantro (never a complaint with me), but the cakes turned out EXCEEDINGLY, even shockingly green. They'd be perfect for St. Patrick's day, but for now they just made a hysterical green meal.

Though I had learned to love the avocado spread, I am still suspicious of any avocado without the flavor (or lack thereof) masked by handfuls of herbs. The salsa, I have to say, certainly wasn't terrible paired with the just-out-of-the-pan hot cakes. Baby steps.

WILL REPEAT.
