h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The recipe will feed three or four people. Who else would you like to bring?

Well, if I bring some desserts and some cheeses, we could invite loads of people!

The ravioli soup is done, but the Portuguese soup is still simmering. The spinach-artichoke calsones and the sweet potato cake were baked last night. I didn't make a salad.

Oh Hush! Enough already! My stomach is rumbling. Sweet Potato Cake

Well, technically it's mock pumpkin cake. The sweet potato is pretending to be something it's not.

3 weeksdon't say you've run out of recipes

I've been meaning to post some more recipes, but the urge died too soon to be put into effect.

take this as a nudge then

I've just been told that my weight has gone up again, so I will need to go back on the straight and narrow.

be careful on what colour you diet Paul

Yeah, my ex was once told to only eat black stuff for a while

I don't know why. Her probably thought there is so little black food out there she would certainly lose weight

Apparantly he had forgotten all about liquorice

...and black pudding is certainly not slimming? what sort of doctor was he?

Well, eggplants are black. They are extremely lacking in caloric density, just like celery. You can eat large amounts and still not take in many calories.

Of course, the only part of an eggplant that's black is the skin. The interior is pale yellow.

I think it would be entirely impossible to eat more than one eggplant/aubergine unless you were a masochist.

i expect that a good many people would enjoy eggplant parmesan, lanzababy.

Well maybe if you cooked it for me paul. I just really struggle to eat a small amount.

I'm under instructions from my doctor, lanzababy. Eggplants are low in calories, but the Italians load them down with all sorts of fattening things in order to make them tasty.

I'd like to find a low-calorie version, but doubt that there's one out there.

I actually believe I found a deepfrozen "weight watcher's low calorie eggplant pudding" once, paulh

Mousaka, as the greek call it

As I recall it was edible but nothing to write home about

eggplant/aubergine - seen 'em but ain't a clue what to do with 'em
