Red Glove thought that she could trust the instincts and taste senses of other SuperFoodyHeroes. And usually she can.
But this time... both Spatula Girl and Red Glove were lost for words upon replicating the recipe of not 1, but 3 other heroes.
The Ricota Stuffed Tomatoes indulged in by Pastor Ryan, Stacey, and Pam excited Red Glove tremendously. Destroy the health benefits of tomatoes with sinfully creamy ricotta cheese? It made her shiver in her glove.
You begin by cutting them in half and letting some of the vitamin enriched juices leak out onto a piece of tissue that goes into the garbage.
Then while juice is leaking, mix the ricotta cheese with parsley, salt etc. (refer to other SuperFoodyHeroes for full ingredient list, as this recipe is not endorsed by Spatula Girl and Red Glove)
Proceed to stuff tomatoes. (Red Glove had too much stuffing, so she also stuffed a few mushrooms. Ah the ingenuity of waste)
Then beat tomatoes down onto some crumbs. (See how excited Red Glove originally was. All the photos. The glory. The anticipation!)
Oven the things and wait. Open oven, receive beautiful smell. (so cheating one)
Bite.
...
Okay...
Oh that's creamy...
The cheese is so bland...
These crumbs don't add any stupid crunch, there's too much creamyness for any crunch.
...
Shit... 7 more?
It wasn't the size of the tomatoes used, as even the tiny stuffed mushrooms were overly creamy. Ricotta is striked off the list of cheeses Red Glove will ever use. Ricotta stuffed tomatoes are striked of potential dinner party entrees. Taste buds are on strike for the night.
Final Taste Value: 1/10

Drunk Pork with Salted Cabbage
Served with Rice.
Spatula Girl's Drunk Pork dish tonight hit new highs on Red Glove's internal Porky scale.
An inspired combination of cooking wine, soy sauce, homemade chilli sauce, sesame oil and cornflour, marinated deep into the meat of a piggy, gave off a fragrant aroma deep enough to uproot Red Glove away from her engrossed mastering of the ComputerAdventure Runaway2: the dream of the turtle, to follow that wonderful scent into the kitchen.

"The Pork", before it entered frying pan heaven.

Spatula Girl at work. Masterfully tossing salted Cabbage (with a hint of Garlic).

The Final Rendering
"Drunk Pork with Salted Cabbage"
Served with Rice
Red Glove doesn't have anything funny to say today. The food was just too good. Red Glove out.

Antipasti Olive Spread
As dawn flew over the valley, Red Glove stirred from an enveloping sleep to be welcomed by a craving that tore at the edges of her consciousness.
Smashed Olive Spread. Mmmmmmm.
But being the poor SuperFoodyHero she is, Red Glove doesn't stock such healthy treats. But Lady Fortune smiles upon those less fortunate that strive to do good in their lives, and be Heroes. Red Glove's housemate, GreekBoy, has a SuperFarmerOfOlivesMom.
This wonderful development means that for the past 2 weeks, Balmoral Cottage has been stocked with Fresh Olives and Fresh Olive Oil straight from the farm.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The recipe is simple. Steal a handful of Olives from a housemate.

Then use SuperSmash to pound them into a yummy spread.

Put the Pounded Olives into a bowl, and pour in some Fresh Olive Oil.
Then pop them into the oven, with maybe 2 slices of bread (save electricity! use the oven! Not the toaster! Red Glove believes in The Environment, and in You)
The Result?

A savoury breakfast, Perfect for a morning spent luxuriously wasted in front of an excellent book. Such as Murakami's, Norwegian Wood:

Ah, the life of a Hero.

Egg Passengered Onions
Spatula Girl is busy with dinner, leaving Red Glove starving for a lunch she hasn't had. Her SuperTeeth started clacking away at each other, longing for a munchy.
But since Spatula Girl's dinner was to be a stewy concoction, it couldn't be rushed.
Red Glove decided to take matters into her own hands, and experiment with the 10 KG load of onions they had wisely purchased from an Asian Supermarket.
Thus was born, the "Egg Passengered Onions". (I couldn't decide between Noah's Onion, and Onion Boats, and I really wanted Egg to be in there somewhere)
Ingredients:
Method:

Red Glove now going for SuperFoodyTraining.

Thus was born, the "Egg Passengered Onions". (I couldn't decide between Noah's Onion, and Onion Boats, and I really wanted Egg to be in there somewhere)
Ingredients:
3 Eggs
3 Round Onions
Olive Oil
A tablespoon of Mayonnaise
Salt
Pepper
Dill
Fresh Parsley
Method:
1. Pop those eggs onto the stove to be hardboiled in a pot of tap water.
2. Start Peeling Your Onions.
3. Till they look like above. I left about 3 'leaves' on the onions.
4. Pop onions into an oven, drizzle with olive oil and salt. (I've been reading so many recipes and watching so much SuperFoodyTraining that the word 'drizzle' just came automatically. Have you ever said 'drizzle' in real life though?)
5. Chop up your parsley while waiting for the Eggs to HardBoil. That means you HAVE to boil the eggs. (Spatula Girl once thought that all she had to do was boil water, stop boiling water, place eggs in hot water, wait. So I thought it would be good information for the world)
6. Eggs done! Like in 5-10 mins? Peel.
7. Mash them up with all the ingredients. Like So:
8. Chill Egg Passengers.
9. Then later, when you touchy touchy the Onion Boats in the oven and they feel soft but firm (sounds naughty, no wonder I'm PG), take out.
10. Fill Boats with Egg Passengers.
11. Red Glove underestimated the amount of eggs she would need, so you guys use more kay.
12. Red Glove only had enough Egg Passengers for 5 boats. And since there were 9 boats, this kind of bad economy could ruin the shipping industry!
13. Therefore Red Glove decided to be multivegetable, and not discriminate.
14. She then filled the bottom of 3 boats with boiled carrots, and the bottom of 2 more with diced tomato (from a tin). She filled three other boats full of Egg Passengers, and laid a smattering more on the other 5.
15. If your math is good, you'll realise Red Glove retired the last boat, empty, into her stomach.
16. Decorate boats prettily with more parsley/carrots on top.
17. Lay a sauce on the side. Tabasco? Yum. But since Red Glove had none, she used her Tuai Yi's (Mom's Eldest Sister), patented home-made chilli sauce (which got past Aussie customs).
18. Eat.

Asparagus Risotto
Spatula Girl's first try at a Asparagus Risotto.
Though some argue it isn't a Risotto without Risotto Rice.
And that it's just fried rice when it isn't fried with Risotto.
But these 2 FoodyHeroes belive rice is rice, so this dish is a Risotto.

Spatula Girl's super powers didn't fail her this time, as she managed to serve the dish at 7:30 sharp, but other powers out of our heroes control was at work, and switched time zones to create a black hole when SuperFoody Training should have been on TV (it wasn't on T_T)
But this disappointment definitely didn't detract from this super dish.

Excellent except for the asparagus, which was tinned. In future, our heroes will farm the asparagus. Fresh is best.
