Last night I was feeling decidedly vitamin-C deficient, and thirsty. I juiced two tangerines (and these were extremely juicy, fat tangerines) and slurped the pulpy, tangy juice as I was cooking.
I have been wanting to make falafel for a while, for many reasons--first of which being, I love falafel. There was a tasty-sounding recipe in a cookbook I recieved for Christmas, so last night I went for it. I mixed chickpeas, turmeric, onion, parsley, garlic, flour, salt, and orange juice (should have been lemon juice but my lemons went bad), blended them down in my food processor (that wasn't really large enough for this job, poor thing), and then fried up some falafel patties in olive oil. The falafels turned out really well! I ate two of them and nearly danced with excitement at the idea that I can now make my own falafels whenever I want. I think chickpeas are going to make it onto my regular list of grocery items.
