The Super Healthy, Super Easy, Pseudo Vegetarian Cookbook
So I've had a brilliant idea for a cookbook. Well, you might not think it's brilliant but listen to the first recipe:
Kabocha (Japanese Pumpkin) Soup with Sweet Potato Medallions
Bake sweet potatoes, thin ones are best
After pots are done baking, slice into medallions 1/4 inch thick
Pumpkin soup:
Saute garlic and onions
Add thinly sliced kabocha, 3 chicken bullion cubes, 2-3 cups water
Simmer for 20ish minutes
Put mixture into blender, add milk, blend
Put back on pot, add salt and pepper
(If you can get your hands on it, add some shirataki to the soup...this makes this soup ridiculously healthy. Please google shirataki if you don't know what it is. I predict it, and konyaku, will be the Next Big Thing within the next 5 years.
Now, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on your medallions and broil for a couple minutes.
Dip medallions in soup. Enjoy!
(now I never said I was Martha Stewart, cuz her ass got fired, but remember the title of the cookbook.
FYI, for an appetizer I had apple-vanilla bean jam (Yamaoka-san, the home-ec teacher made for me)on saltines (wonderful salty/sweet combo!) and for dessert I'm going to have the lemon-pistachio biscotti Sarah King made me. I understand not everyone is as spoiled as me, that's why I'm not including them in the book. I also doubt they'd fall under the "super easy" heading.
Look for more recipes. If you try them and like them, please let me know. If you don't, keep it to your self; nobody likes a whinger. Basically I think I'll fill my cookbook with the stuff I make in Japan, which always involves less than 15 minutes prep time.
Why I'm working on a cookbook instead of my grad apps is none of your damn business.

i think that Rachel Ray is so popular because of all the lasy-ass guys that watch cable and like both pretty girls and food. as for the cookbook, count me in, that sounds delicious!
yeah, nobody likes a whinger!
by the way, please complete said cookbook. if you do, i will illustrate it and take pictures of you cooking (in different fancy outfits) and then we can print them out, bind them shabbily, and give them to people! i could even help contribute some recipes! i guess the question is, do you want a partner? let's taking on a big project together!
love
