A Favorite From the Past + Cheese Scones from a B-b-b-boy!

We played with a recipe we made sometime last month. The coconut chicken chili. It's officially renamed coconut-shrimp-tofu-chili-sans-beans.

..Ok, ok, I'll work on the name.

We changed it up just a wee bit. To refresh your memory, here's the recipe (changes marked in green)

100g cubed extra firm tofu

3 cups prawns [Pretty sure we used more. T'was delightfully shrimpy. 3/4 of the bag, I think?]

1 large onion, chopped

1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper[skipped]

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 14 oz. can unsweetened coconut milk

1 Tablespoon peanut butter

3 medium carrots, shredded with a box grater on the biggest holes [whoops! Skipped]

5 cloves garlic, minced [used a bit less, after the third heaping spoonful, spectators appeared nervous]

1 yellow pepper, Princess Sparklecaked.

Serve over hot cooked jasmine rice [used pasta this time!]

Summer is pro with Princess Sparklecake.

Her new hair clip is pro too, hey? .... :)

...I'll show you what that's for after the cooking's done.

What's next!? Cheesy scones!

We got this recipe from a friend of Jen's, and it was a lot of fun to make!

OOEY GOOEY fun, to be precise.

My favorite part was making the "well"; a new term pour moi.

Well, second favorite. I think I speak for all of us when I say eating was the best part.

Delish!

...and I have not forgotten that I owe an explanation for the tinfoil hair decoration, so I will be back in an hour.
