Karl’s Yellow Gazpacho

I finally have a little time to start surfing through the sites of the people who have liked my recipes in the past three years. I have religiously kept track of everyone who has ever “liked” one of my recipes, but I have had little time to do more than just visit their “about” pages. This summer, I have been working my way through other people’s recipes. When I saw Caitlin’s recipe for Yellow Gazpacho I knew I had to do something like it.

Karl’s Moong Dal Tadka with Chingri (Shrimp)

I have recently discovered dals. Not that I did not know that they existed, but that they were easy to make and not just restaurant fare. Many of the recipes I have found call for cooking the legumes in a pressure cooker—which I do not own—or alternatively cooking them for hours. I have found that neither of these is required to produce a decent dal.

Karl’s Drambuie Pear Sauce

I wanted something a bit different to go with my latkes Monday night. Jan made a Drambuie sauce to go with the mousse she made for Father’s Day. I thought it made for a very tasty sauce and that it would complement the flavor of pears very nicely. Most of the alcohol in this sauce will cook off, leaving only the sweet flavor.

Karl’s Thyme Water Crackers II

Earlier this week I made water crackers for the Dean’s Lunch. I know I just posted this recipe just this morning, but I was not satisfies with what I had produced. Yes, they were crisp and delicious but they were a bit too crisp.

Karl’s Thyme Water Crackers

Jan is hosting the Dean’s Lunch and I am making crackers and schmears (1, 2, & 3). For the non-Vegans, I am making my cream crackers, but one of the deans is a Vegan. I decided to try my had at a Vegan water cracker.

Karl’s Guacamole

I am making the Dean’s Lunch and one of the dinners is a Vegan. Jan and I finally settled on a salad with crackers and a selection of schmears.  To meet the needs of the one, the many must eat Vegan—to paraphrase. Jan really likes guacamole, so I chose this as my third schmear.  I have a simple recipe, but for public consumption I thought I would be a bit more elaborate.

Karl’s Vegan Artichoke Spinach Schmear

On the other hand, just because something has no animal products in it does not mean it can’t be delicious.

Karl’s Italian Salad Bar

Every Tuesday the Deans get together for a working lunch. Each week a different dean is responsible for providing the food. This is the last time my wife will be providing the food—she is going back to being an Anthropology professor—so Jan asked me to make the lunch.
