oh my

I am not a naturally-talented baker. I can create savory dishes all day, but the precision required for baking is a trying experience for me. I have been experimenting with a peanut butter cookie recipe for days. It only has 4 ingredients, and I have still made it no less than 12 times to get it exactly right. My family is tolerant of baking experiments, but not every audience is as forgiving. This next Call is specifically looking for your experiments, but don’t send peanut butter cookies. Bribery is frowned upon…

CRUNCH
please

How is it that I love soy nuts and edamame, but cannot stand tofu? I’ve tried it firm and silken and every other variety. Ick. I just can’t handle the texture. Something about it seems, well, wrong. But, I didn’t used to like ginger, beets or aspargus, and now I eat each of them regularly. Maybe I’ll warm up to tofu. You know Iowa is famous for corn, but they grow lots of soybeans too. This next Call hails from Iowa. Take a look…
