The Story Behind This Recipe

 

November 7, 2001

Hi,

I'm Sterling, Cheri's husband.

She doesn't like doing computer stuff, so I'm entering this information for her.

This will be the first recipe we post -- finally, after commencing this idea of "Grader Things" several months ago.

This recipe has a story.

Last night when Cheri was preparing dinner, a lump of salt accidentally plopped into the Falafel sauce, making it way too salty.

"What can I do get rid of the salty taste?" she asked out loud.

Tonight's recipe was the result. In my opinion, it is sure to be a classic.

Definitely a 9.5-10 on a 10-point scale.
