Today, my roommate Jenny decided that we need an episode of Iron Chef right here. In our apartment building. Right now. This involved carrying a bag of completely random food items to the girls upstairs, and making them cook something with it. Here is a partial list of what they had to work with:
- a few normal ingredients (milk, sugar, flour)
- peanut butter
- a strawberry pop tart
- a box of orange jello
- chocolate chips
- a can of potato soup
Using only the contents of this bag, they managed to concoct a cookie-like substance which they put in a pan and covered with melted chocolate. Then, they mixed the milk and jello to use as a glaze. (Much to their disappointment, the glaze did not turn orange.) After carefully taste-testing this culinary masterpiece, I give it the following marks:
presentation: 4/5 - Although the dish was displayed in a humble metal pan, the glaze was drizzled in a pleasing fashion.
originality: 5/5 - They actually used these crazy ingredients? Enough said.
taste: 8/10 - Somewhat dry and crumbly. Large amounts of chocolate compensated for this nicely, however.
total: 17/20
**On a side note, I am the biggest geek ever. After rereading this post and deciding that "dissapointment" looked like a funny spelling, I did not walk to my bookshelf for a dictionary. I did not open up Word and spell check it. No, instead I searched for it in Google.
Me: dissapointment
Google: Did you mean disappointment?
Google knows everything.
