I was going to write some kind of essay about like... television and romance novel passionate-romantic rape situations, except I don't really know what to say about that. Except like... something about how even a crime like that can be subtly idealized kind of like bank robberies and murder in the heat of the moment.

I think my new food idea is fusion. I'm sorry, I can't help it. I just have this craving like... what if I take ground meat like you would use in tacos (like I made tonight), and stirred in that curry sauce with a minimal amount of coconut... not all juicy like. With some garlic. And onions, green peppers maybe. Yeah. Totally.
Oh okay and THEN I would wrap it in a crepe.
Sorry, but it just sounds really delicious. Probably it won't be. Which is why I'm gonna make it.

Calf Liver Creole

2 tbps butter or olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 large bell pepper, chopped
1 can of diced tomatoes
Pinch of cayenne
Pinch of thyme
Pinch of oregano
1/2 cup flour
1 pound of calf liver, thinly sliced
Salt to taste
Ground pepper to taste

In a large saucepan, heat the butter or oil. Add the onion and bell pepper. Saute until soft. Add the cayenne, thyme, and oregano. Mix, and push to the edges of the pan.

Dredge the liver slices through the flour and toss into the center of the pan. Sear for about 2 minutes, watching closely. (It cooks really quickly.) Mix back in the softened vegatables and spices. Add the can of tomatoes. Stir, and simmer for a couple of minutes. Add the salt and pepper.

Serve over rice.

Before I was pregnant, I hadn't eaten calf liver since I was a child. Now I eat it about once a week. It tastes a lot better than those prenatal iron supplements.
