Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi, Recently I wrote a storybook for my 11-year-old grandson. The hero is Sammy Snackdragon, an honest- to-goodness vegetarian dragon, who, I might add, is considered by some dragons to be an embarrassment to the larger dragon community because of his " perverse " diet. Well, anyway, one evening Sammy is hanging-out with some friends, and in a festive mood decides to concoct a dip. He improvises a dip which I have named Sammy's Dragon Dip. I was in a whimsical mood when I composed Sammy's dip, and aimed for a set of ingredients which I hoped would gross-out my grandson, yet possibly intrigue his primitive palate. A few days ago, it occurred to me that perhaps I was being irresponsible in including an untested fictional recipe in the story. Suppose Alex, my grandson, decided to make the dish himself and got dreadfully ill. Maybe, I thought, I should put a warning notice at the end of the recipe: Danger, Do Not Try This Recipe At Home. Or maybe, I should put my mouth where my pen is and make it myself. Which I did. And to my surprise it tasted great. But of course, I am a biased judge. So here's the fictional recipe. I await your more objective judgement. Bon apetite, Jerry ____________________________ Sammy's Dragon Dip 16 oz. yogurt, I used nonfat yogurt 1/3 cup peanut butter 1/4 cup chopped onion 1 tablespoon chili-garlic paste 1 jalapeno pepper, diced juice of one lime 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped About 3/4 of a can of nonfat refried beans, heated.
