Every recipe that I make is something my friends just call "thing." Spinach thing, mushroom thing, shrimp thing. I should do a Thing Cookbook. IMPORTANT IMPORTANT: Things do not include measurements. They do accept substitutions/suggestions.

Miso Thing, below, is for salad dressing, but would probably rock as a sauce for grilled veg (eggplant comes to mind) or for salmon/chicken too. I'd imagine you could bump this up with scallions or a thai chile.

Miso Thing

1 spoon white miso
1 spoon honey
1 count olive oil
2 count rice vinegar
salt
finely minced/pasted garlic
lime (zest and juice)

throw in a jar and shake until at the consistency you like. Taste. Adjust. Apply to yer pie hole.

Damn right, I love a smoothie for breakfast. Now that I'm convinced that fruit is not to be feared, but it's c-c-cold in Boston, what's a gal to do? Other than to not go outside? Secret ingredient!

Frozen blackberries and strawberries
Flaxseed (since it's pricey...look for the best per-unit price.)
nonfat soy millk
two chunks of ginger

This made it warm flavor-wise and also tasty as hell.
