We were desperate for cookies, so I tweaked another gluten-free version I’d been experimenting on. It’s a winner! Soft and chewy, they store well in the fridge or freezer, and are superb with a steaming cup of something –

I like to mash vegetables from my Friday roasted vegetable tray – try different combinations mashed together!

II make this recipe when the tahini jar is nearly empty. No sesame oil? Use 3 TBSP of toasted sesame seeds instead. No maple syrup? Replace with 2 TBSP table sugar. Use your imagination! Serve cold sesame noodles with all kinds of things, but it’s also good to eat on its own.

Alene was proud of the recipe she had invented, and now she’d make enough to put in jars that they’d sell along with some of her specially made bean and vegetable dips. P.20 Smothered: A Whipped and Sipped Mystery

For the past 3 months of quarantine, I’ve had a hard time getting Napa Cabbage. I didn’t know how much I’d miss having it in my fridge. I use it in smoothies, salads, soups, and stir-fries. It lasts for months, since you only need a few leaves at a time, and stays crisp, unlike most lettuces. It’s not my favorite vegetable (talking to you, little cucumbers), nor is it that common (several of the shoppers who delivered my groceries during the first months of the quarantine were unsure about what it was).
I’ve substituted peach for the mango, when I don’t have a ripe one, and scallions (since I grow them on my window ledge) for the red onions (although the red onions are crunchier and look better). When I don’t have limes, I’ve substituted bottled ‘Key Lime Juice,’ and that worked too, although it’s a little sweeter. And when I couldn’t get fresh parsley (WHY? Was there a run on parsley at the grocery store?), I substituted cilantro (which is also delicious, but I know some people think it tastes like soap).
That’s it. Just throw this together and enjoy.

“Would you like a pot of chamomile tea, Julian?” Alene, who also drank water with vinegar every morning, scowled at Olly and smiled at Julian. “The banana muffins and ginger molasses cookies are still warm.” Smothered: A Whipped and Sipped Mystery, D.X. Varos 2021
