I have almost no voice right now. Yesterday, it was in the realm of permanent "sexy radio voice." Right now, it's like a frog who can't get air through his vocal cords. Yay. I feel okay, just no voice.

So what do I do. I cook.

Right now I have my banana bread in the oven, loosely based on the recipe from the first Vegetarian Times cookbook. Every time I make it, I substitute different ingredients. It's very forgiving.

And on top of the stove, Punjabi Style Cauliflower and Potatoes with Ginger from Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian. It smells and looks divine, but I have made a royal mess of the kitchen, what with all the shallow oil frying. It's going to be yummy though. Too bad no one else is home to help me enjoy it!

Hopefully the fresh ginger will help me get better. And the cilantro. Yay cilantro!!

Off to eat!

That particular Jaffrey recipe is great. No cilantro, though. Cilantro is the devil!

You know, I only posted about the cilantro because I knew half my friends list would vigorously protest! :-)

I topped it with plain yogurt and it was divine. I am now very full. Unfortunately, too full for banana bread.

Yep. Posting about cilantro is the best way to get user participation here in LJ-land. :D

I love the sexy telephone voice, that's when I call all my exes, unfortunately the frog voice doesn't have the same effect. I hope you get it back soon! If you lived in Toronto I would tell you to go get a "Singer's Saving Grace" from juice for life. It's a warm drink with apple, ginger, cayenne and I'm sure other things, oh maybe royal jelly. I'm trying to look at the menu but I can't get it load.

Yum Banana nut bread. My fav! I had some tonight in fact when I went to Bob Evans for Dinner. I should try my hand at making my own sometime if my busy schedule ever lets me have time for cooking again.
