Last week's Smackdown - AKA The Aspic Incident - was a creamy horror. Whenever a Smackdown is a true culinary Ishtar, it's time for reparations the next week. What to better counteract a creamy horror than a creamy bowl of risotto love?

It's Monday and that means yes, here I am with dinner based around an ovum protein source.*

Exciting news, everyone: I ate a bowl of Rice Krispies tonight! Of course, it wasn't all that long ago, so there might still be gastro-intestinal repercussions.
It goes without saying that I'm not cooking tonight. Unless you count opening bottles of Gatorade as cooking, in which case I've been cooking up a storm. (Also: Gatorade is VILE. How do they fool so many people into buying it? Do people really drink it, or is it used mainly as an industrial solvent?) Instead, I bring you the Hobo Monday roundup that I was meant to have brought you on Saturday morning except ...
That is to say: I didn't do it, but if I had, here's how I would have.
Is that too many commas? I've been debating for 45 minutes, and I'm actually starting to get a little dizzy.

Okay, yes, I've made pancakes for dinner before. On a Monday night, even. But these are DIFFERENT pancakes. So there. To be more specific: buttermilk pancakes with pine nuts and citrus, topped with ricotta sweetened with candied pineapple and ginger, with a raspberry-orange coulis to cut the richness. Yeah, I know, it sounds kinda like dessert. It tasted kinda like dessert too, and I am not complaining about that. Who complains about dessert for dinner? I mean, I'm certifiably insane and even I'm happy with dinner pancakes.

Okay, so turnout was pretty crappy, which you gotta expect when the organizer herself wusses out on the event. And then one person completely neglected the whole "theme" thing - is there something about my readership that renders you congenitally unable to read rules? - meaning a full 20% actually weren't participating at all. So the maddest of props to the five of you who churned out some cheap-ass food, with slightly diminished props to the person who didn't follow the rules
I mean, I let that one in, but with the full awareness that we're totally going to talk ...
1. Hell's Kitchen tonight. You should watch it. Because I watch it, and I write things, and I suffer, and no one likes to suffer alone.
2. Hobo Monday remains on in the style of Donkey Kong. It's next week. Get you chickpeas ready.

HEY YOU! If you didn't see yourself here right away and you sent your entry to firstthursday@, that's why. In the future please send everything to michelle@, as the guidelines state. As we see, dual addresses cause confusion and ft@ became a refuge for ebay and Nigerian scammers, so it's being shut down. (Plus, this isn't a FT event anyway). Sorry for any confusion.
Moving on.
