A banana, gone a day past when I would eat it, was entirely perfect for satisfying a serious sweet tooth. Mash it with about 1/2 cup sugar, a spoon of molasses, a half teaspoon of salt and vanilla plus an egg. Add in about 3/4 cup fresh goat milk, 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts, one dash (really - just a dash) of cinnamon powder and just enough self rising flour to create a stiff batter.
Pour it into a greased and floured loaf pan and bake at 375 until golden and a toothpick comes out clean, and you have deliciousness of epic proportions!
That preceded my favorite soup of all time!
Make a trip to your local Asian grocery store and buy a package of Pho Ga. Bring it home.
Or Faux Pho with curry J
This only took about 15 minutes to prepare. Ingredient list: Pho Ga powder, rice noodles, water, curry powder, coconut milk, onion, chili paste, shrimp, crab, carrots, sweet potatoes, fresh cilantro leaves, bean sprouts, jalapeno.
(If Pho Ga powder isn’t available, you can use 6 cups of chicken broth to which has been added ½ tsp fish sauce and 1 tsp. soy sauce)

Cook and cool flat rice noodles (pho noodles or pad thai noodles) per package directions. (usually simmer for 4-5 minutes, then drain in a colander and rinse with cool water) Set aside.
In one pan, simmer salted water then add peeled carrots and sweet potato, peeled and cut into similar sized chunks. Simmer only until just tender, then drain and set aside.
Boil 6 cups of water and add
2 tablespoons of the Pho Ga powder. Then shred in
1/2 of an onion - I use the tiny little hand mandolin for fine slices. Then add about
1 and 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon chili paste (depending on level of heat desired)
1/2 can of coconut milk.

(Save the cream to whip for a dessert topping, just use maybe 2 tablespoons of the cream, and the coconut water in the bottom of the can) Simmer lightly then add
1/2 cup fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined and
1/2 cup crab meat, sliced. (It's ok to use fake Krab for this since it's soup)

Cook until the shrimp is about done, and serve over cooked Rice Noodles with some of the carrots and sweet potatoes added in, and thinly sliced jalapeno and fresh cilantro leaves and fresh bean sprouts. The shrimp will finish cooking in the hot liquid.
Oh MY Goodness!!
