I over processed. Got a little excited, I guess, and ended up with pureed falafel. I used this recipe, which I just now realized clearly says “pulse 8 to 10 times until finely chopped.” Yeah…I let that shit go for probably two minutes straight.
Oh well. I made falafel pancakes, basically, and we still ate them. I’ll try again. Or, more likely, head to a street cart next time.
I also made a brown rice mixture, similar to tabbouleh, to go with them, using lemon juice, olive oil, tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, onions and parsley.
The meal:
Oh, I guess I took the picture before I added the sauce. Which, by the way, was the best part. It was juice from one lemon, about 1/3 cup plain yogurt, a tablespoon or two of tahini, a clove of garlic, and salt. Good stuff.
And a Skinny Cow for dessert:
Also, Lars and the Real Girl? A little weird, I have to say. And Ryan’s not even looking his best. Disappointing, really.
Falafel pancakes… that actually sounds delicious!
Nice save with the falafel, by making them into pancakes – looks delicious!!
Ryan didn’t look good in the movie?? I didn’t know that was possible!!
Your rice mixture looks awesome!
I Magic Bullet the hell out of everything. Pulsing is for squares.
Lars and the Real Girl was a bit odd, but funny at certain times. I agree that Ryan wasn’t looking his best.. maybe because he looks hotter when he plays more confident characters. Lars was a bit of a weirdo!
Things didn’t go well for you because you didn’t make the Checca sauce.
were they pancakes still good?
That movie sucked.
I would SO BE IN to sample those falafel cakes!
the look great to me—though Im an accidental overprocessor all the time as well.
Im almost embarrassed to say I LIKED Lars!
I think I went into it thinking it would be *so* bad that I was pleasantly surprised.

It could be, I guess. Just not the way I did it.

A mustache will bring anyone down.
Erica –
It was! Try it.

Have you seen the magic bullet infomercial? It is quality television. Well worth your time, I promise.
Lotus –
I think you’re right. Like in Fracture. That’s when we began our love affair.
Kristen –
You’re right. I deserved the falafel pancakes.
Cara –
They were okay, just wasn’t what I was hoping for.
Chris –
You hardly watched.
MizFit –
I liked it, I just thought they took it a little far at the end – I mean, the playing along had to stop somewhere.
