Jehangir Mehta (who I raved about here) is on Iron Chef America tonight! If you're reading this post late, go ahead and check your program guide anyway, as they repeat the show rather frequently. I can't wait!
If you enjoy seeing famous people, perhaps watch the show and then head over to Graffiti to have him cook for you! (If you didn't read my previous post--order the paneer!!) The only downside is that now I think Graffiti is going to be MUCH more crowded. Bummer.

Supercook!
I was watching the Today show this morning, and they covered one of Time Magazine's best websites. Holy crap. I found my new favorite website! Go here. Immediately.
Supercook!
You can actually create an account (for free) and enter the ingredients you have in your kitchen. Then, it continuously searches major recipe sites and provides you with recipes of what you can make with what you have on hand! I found it greatly entertaining to enter a few things and see it constantly update what I could make as I entered more ingredients. Once you enter a few things, it nicely asks "Do you have..." with a list of ingredients--all you have to do is click on those you have!
I'm think in love. (sigh)

Recipe for "healthy" brownies!
Yes, I've tried the black bean brownies--they're surprisingly not bad. I haven't tried the canned pumpkin, but I've heard that they are decent as well. However, I wanted a recipe that didn't need brownie mix, and this one just seemed WAY too weird to work. What did I stumble across? Zucchini brownies!
Oh. my. god. They are fantastic! I wish I could claim the recipe as my own, but I found it here. I followed the recipe as written, but I made two changes-- instead of 1/2 cup vegetable oil, I used 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup applesauce. Also, I swapped the walnuts for chocolate chips into the batter, because hey, everything is better with chocolate chips! When you're making it, the batter is VERY dry until you add the zucchini. Also, I didn't use the frosting recipe--I just made a basic chocolate icing and used that instead, since I wanted a very thin layer.
All things said, this recipe is WONDERFUL. Probably good enough for me to keep zucchini in the fridge. And eat brownies for breakfast. Yum!
