Garlic dill dip

So, again I rave about the Cactus Club food. This time, it's about the sauce they serve with their yam fries. If you've never had this sauce, you have to have it at least once. It is soooo good.

We asked the waitress what they put in it and here's what we were able to gather: mayonnaise, garlic, fresh dill and lemon juice. That's it. I don't know what proportions of each but mmmm mmmm mmm! So yummy with the hot crispy yam fries.

Try it again? ohhhh yeah.

Update Jan 26, 2008:
I tried making this at home. Didn't realize before I started that I didn't have enough mayonnaise. So 6 cloves of garlic later, have a super garlicky dressing/dip. Tastes awful. Will leave for husband to eat.

Almond Butter

Several of the girls at work have recently bought "almond butter". Ingredients? Roasted almonds. That's it. So many of them raved about how delicious and healthy it was so during a recent trip to costco, I picked some up. Of course, it no pansy small jar. It's a huge honkin Coscto-sized jar of Almond Butter!

Tried it on a cracker. Nyeh.
Tried it on an apple. Nyeh nyeh.

I'm just not taking to the taste which is blank or the texture which is really sticky. In fact, since it's somewhat liquidy you end up putting it on top of whatever you're eating it on before putting it in your mouth so inevitably the gooeyness ends up all over the roof of your mouth so you're smacking your tongue to try and dislodge it. Not for me, thanks.

Eat it again? Maybe. But so far I've left it in the work fridge with a sticky note that says "Penelope's almond butter. HELP YOURSELF!".
Maybe I'll bring in some celery sticks and try it on that next time.
