The star of tonight’s show was the rhubarb salsa, which I found through Food Gawker. I did a search for “rhubarb” because I had no idea what to do with my farmers market purchase.
Instead of fish, I sauteed some baby portobellos with a little olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic and liquid smoke.
I also made a black bean soup that I saw while browsing marthastewart.com last weekend. I used veggie chicken broth and Tofutti’s Better than Sour Cream. The garlic-pepper sauce is great just on its own.
I wanted to make this guava margarita recipe. Unfortunately, I could not find guava puree, even at the Latino grocery store. Guava juice from concentrate with “sugar and/or high fructose corn syrup” (???) and frozen strawberries are not a good substitute. To make matters worse, H did not screw the bottom on the blender before putting it away and I did not notice until everything, myself included, was covered in fresh-squeezed lime juice.

yah, bottom of the blender check. I covered myself and kitchen with various liquids before it became part of my “preflight” checklist to a) make sure the washer is on the correct side of the blade assembly and b) making sure bottom is secure. You have to do b if you’re going to do a.

Ha! Obviously, I need to take my pre-blending routine more seriously. It was totally my husband’s fault for not putting it back together after he washed it, but he acted like he did it on purpose and I was wrong for assuming a blender stored in the pantry would be ready to use. Lesson learned!
