Experimental cooking can be a source of deep joy--or agony--depending on how it turns out. The perfect meal shared with a good companion puts me in a deliciously good mood. But unhealthy, un-tasty, untimely meals put me in a frump. This is my quest for good foods and good moods.

garden marinara & pea fritters
Joe's been messing up the kitchen again ;-) This time he made marinara sauce with the garden tomatoes Brenden and Jennifer gave us. AND purple hull pea fritters from the bounty out back. They were similar to falafal but without the cumin.
Believe it or not, there's an actual Web site devoted to the wonders of the purple hull pea. Of all the recipes, fritters looked the most promising.
2 cups purple hull peas (mashed)
fresh parsley
1/2 an onion
ground red pepper
2 eggs
Drop by spoonfuls into hot oil. Turn when the first side turns golden. Drain on paper towels. I ate mine with ketchup. Joe had his with hot sauce.
They were very tasty, but the house still smells of fried stuff.
