I was still sick but we had to eat ya know. So we decided to cook a couple of things out of The Elephant Walk Cookbook. This is a restaurant in Cambridge that we took a cooking class at. Of course I felt like soup since I was sick. This soup sounded particularly good and it was.
We proudly picked Keffir lime leaves from our very own tree. I can't tell you how this thrills me. I am also growing lemongrass but that isn't quite ready to pick so we bought that.
Once again I didn't get a picture of the finished product. I sorta did though. Here are the leftovers for Dr Food to take to work for lunch. Come on, you will all still vote for me when the time comes. You love that I forget stuff just like YOU do and that I am not a fancy smancy blogger with tons of sponsors and people sending me free stuff to try out. You all love me and you know it.
On to the drink of the night. Oh grow up, I do drink when I have a cold. It had fruit in it! We made Watermelon Woo Hoo's. That is my name for them but you can use it. All we did was cut up a seedless watermelon. We put it in a blender (ok a Vitamix but you can use a blender) with some simple syrup (ours had a vanilla bean that has been sitting in it) and some seltzer water, oh yeah and some rum. I would have used vodka but Dr. Food was making the drinks and I wasn't complaining. Well maybe I was but he wasn't listening to me.
So I give this recipe a thumbs up. It was really good.
