As you might remember from one of my last posts, I needed to get some rice flour to prepare some Kimchi. The end result was absolutely delicious. Just today, I finished the jar. Let me tell you, home-made Kimchi is something else. I recommend it to anyone who likes complex, fermented flavours.

Anyway, I had some rice flour left, and when I have ingredients lying around the house, my brain devotes 10% of its processing power to the concoction of new recipes. This process runs in the background, as part of my unconscious mind. So I just experience, consciously, a sudden eureka moment where I suddenly know what I have to do with said ingredients.

In this occasion, it was a sweet potato with rice flour pie. The crust was the typical crust I use for apple pies. A mix of coconut oil with flour and sugar. For the filling, I boiled some sweet potatoes and, once strained, mixed them with a milk+rice flour paste I made in the pan. The paste made the mashed sweet potatoes very thick.

This is the end result. It might not be the best-looking dessert, but was delicious! It only lasted two days in my house :P

@Adam Hunt and I went over to the National Research Council and stole (I mean picked) some apples from a tree that is supposedly descendant from the tree that dropped the apple on Sir Isaac Newton’s head (maybe a myth, he might have just seen the apple fall) and inspired his law of gravity. Anyway, his tree descendant made a yummy apple raspberry crisp and an apple pie. We have yet to taste the pie. #food #pie #apple
