So. Luna can't cook, and I... well. I'm not going to pretend I can cook. But I do make all our meals, if you can call it that, and so sometimes I find myself trying to poke out different recipes and experimenting a little. It helps that Luna has a weird pallet and has been getting me to eat a few things I normally wouldn't. Even horrible things that should probably kill me, but... well, let's just say I've had experience with eating less-than-appetizing food in the past.
Here's a recipe I put together after Luna came back with some... I don't know where she got it. I don't know why she bought it. I really don't want to, either. I'm scared that she actually barbecued a seahorse drake and cut it up into can-sized portions and that's why we have so much of it now, but... well, anyway. I thought I'd put this recipe up and uh... maybe see if anypony can help me figure out what I'm missing.
So here's the first recipe corner. I dunno, maybe I'll make this a regular thing. Crappy food with a crappy poet. Fantastic, right? Or craptastic, at least.
Scrivener's Incomplete Crabmeat Sandwiches
1 Can of Crab Meat
2 Tablespoons of Mayonnaise
Pepper
Salt
1 Tablespoon Vinegar
2 Slices of Cheese (Or shredded cheese or cut up cheese block or whatever)
4 Slices of Bread
[Makes two sandwiches]
So we're going to need a small mixing bowl, first. Pour your crab meat in there, and add the mayo, then the vinegar. Start mixing it up, and add a little bit of pepper, one or two dashes should do. Keep mixing it up until it takes on a mushy, batter-like texture.
Spread a thin layer over all four pieces of bread: if you want a really thick sandwich, though, you can always just use two slices. Once the stuff is spread on the bread, add another dash of pepper, and a dash of salt as well, for seasoning. Then put your slices of cheese on two pieces of bread: personally, I actually cut thin strips off a cheese block and layered those on, that seemed to work really well.
Put the bread, stuff-side-up, in the conventional oven. I was lucky and had one with an auto-toast setting. If you don't have that, then set it to broil for five or ten minutes, or long enough to brown the bread and melt the cheese. Take the bread out of the oven and put the slice with the cheese on the slice without. And voila, you have toasted crabmeat sandwiches that aren't nearly as gross as they sound.
Now here's the problem I had. They came out a little bland, and I know nothing about spices. They need a little something extra to season them. I mean, Luna and I ate them and we didn't mind them, but... I need something extra. Maybe pickle, too. I want to say that pickle would probably be good. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them.
Okay, Luna's. Looking at me all weird. And calling me... well, that makes you a stallion. I. Regret saying that. Please don't be a stallion tonight.
