I never did believe in miracles, Sweet, Wonderful Potatoes

 This was a hit at a group dinner we had last week:


 Mashed Potatoes with a Positively Tati Twist

1) Peel and boil 4-6 medium yams or sweet potatoes (they are not the same, but it's your choice).

2) Mash 1 can coconut milk (the ~15 oz. cans).

3) Add some garlic salt, +/- 1 tbsp curry powder, and 1/2 cup sauteed, diced onions (this is my favorite part for Brett to do, he dices so efficiently!)

4) Whisk in 2 pre-whisked eggs. If more heat is needed to cook egg gently, put over lowest possible stove heat until the mixture sets a little.

Some more twists: lemon pepper, nutmeg/mace, oregano (separately, please!).

Review of a Monte Carlo Ad-VER-tiss-ment and Cookie Dough Mousse

I'm reviewing this ad that I found while looking for inspiration on Google Images. I had searched for "phonetic spelling", but it's turning out to be a Tati's Kitchen kind of story.

My phonetic spelling query was superceded by a need: hunger. This was the kind of hunger that could only be fought with sweets. Hankerings, cravings, munchies, jonesing, it don't matter what you call it - we needed cookie dough.

I admit I've always been the one to stick my finger in the cookie dough when the adult's backs were turned. But this spelling evening I thought I'd rather be safe than sorry, so I gave myself the dilemma of making cooked egg cookie dough. 

I was pleased with the following recipe that I was divinely infused with:

Cookie Dough Mousse      Serves 10

1) Melt 1 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup raw sugar. When melted and mixed to homogeneity, take off heat and whisk in two eggs, one at a time. Let me repeat: 1 AT A TIME. After each time vigorously and promptly whisking them in.

2) Whisk in 1 tsp vanilla [or alternatively any other liquor flavor you wish, but if you add a liquer, make it 2tsp]

3) Stir in 3 cups  gluten-free baking mix (I used Pamela's Products) or substitute same amount of desired flour.

4) Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and serve!
(alternatively, could stir in and then chill dough and serve once chilled)

So there I was, still longing to read about schwas, eating airy and rich cookie dough and I thought, "Bone app YOUR teat, Monte Carlo, this cookie dough is delicious".
