freedom from recipes, and power to be inspired, create, and substitute!

For those who just can't follow recipes....for those who are just inspired by ingredients, places, and delicious design...and most importantly for those who need more creativity in their life....This blog harkens back to the days before recipes were much more like musings, and narratives of creating environments and expressions of culture. We aim to inspire, not to instruct. This blog is a record of experiments, successful and unsuccessful, and any contributions from others who share the dare.....

Hospital tray-shepherd's pie fantasy

Highly uninspiring hospital food, albeit artfully presented. If anyone needs the freestyle gourmet, it's a hospital! Sadly, my aunt who loved a gourmet meal is here...far from any culinary inspiration.

One grey lump is the purreed chicken, some mashed potatoes, and purreed green peas. Additionally on the tray is a 'slurried' biscuit, whatever that is. With the packets of sugar, salt, and pepper, what would you do?

If they supplied a little pastry shell, I suppose you could craft a Little sort of shepherd's pie...I'm sure I could find some white bread....but something crispier? Aha...deconstructed microwavable apple pie?....I'll go look...

Some inspiration is already happening...all hospitals should take up this charge!
