Friends,
I...uh...got to...well..uh...amend the beer and laxative soup recipe.
It came out quite good, but something wasn't quite 5 star about it.
Was relying on intuition and surrendering my mortal cooking skills to Allah and His 43 Celestial Swami Guru Cooks. Evidently something went wrong while I was channeling them.
Think however the problem was the can of garbonzo beans I used. Time permitting, always use home sprouted and blanched grains, but went for the Western Family cheapies from Thriftway to get the recipe published in a timely manner. The “value smart” choice is not always value smart. Really think it was the garbonzo beans.
However, would modify the Beer and Mag Citrate laxative recipe as follows:
Scale back on the Mag Citrate to 1 level teaspoon and use the tangerine flavored laxative, not the cherry flavor. Increase the apple cider by another 3 tablespoons with one heaping teaspoon Swiss Miss hot chocolate powder.
Also double the amount of whole wheat flower mixed in with the milk. The calculated thickening effect was not achieved in the total volume. I underestimated this as well.
Scale back on salt to 3 level teaspoons instead of 4. The tortilla chips and mixed nuts, V8 have a decent salt load already. If undersalted, you can always add more salt.
This should properly correct my shortfalls and misinformation. Currently feel the wrath of Chef Boyardee shooting lightning bolts at me from across the abyss. Hey, I tried...
Love to all,
John
