[home cooking] orange food
Apr. 11th, 2011 11:34 pm- One of the greengrocers was selling papayas for cheap (since it was already quite overripe); bought one and made papaya milk. I was immediately brought back to my childhood back home when papaya milk was a special summer treat.
- Needed to use up the last of my sweet potatoes, so I decided to make a puree soup with the sweet potatoes, carrots, and some butternut squash. Mixed it up with the immersion blender, and added some coconut milk and chicken broth. I decided not to add any spices to it other than a little bit of salt since I wanted the taste of the vegetables to come through. Though I'm sure cumin or maybe a little bit of curry would be nice. I also prefer to eat things a little blander than what most people prefer.
