Hola! I’m Janel Torkington.
((drop.of.juice)) is a snarky proclamation of a burning passion for everything food.
If you make any of these recipes, please write and tell me how many superlative adjectives you'd use in describing it (or how you almost burned down the neighborhood).
And remember, when in doubt, add lime!

Garbanzo, Parmesan, and Cilantro Salad
I normally fall squarely in the “maximalist” camp of cooking, but this two-minute throw together dish was insidiously enjoyable.

Throwing in a handful of cilantro added a touch of freshness in appearance and flavor. -
Grilled Naan
Plus, after you freak out just a little bit from the first flame-up, then realize that licking tongues of heat are exactly what’s making everything taste like bliss, you can relax, exhale, and enjoy playing with fire. -
Som Tam – Green Papaya Salad
It is fresh, it is healthy, it is bursting at the seams with taste-o-rama. It is juicy, it is spicy, it is tangy-sweet-peanutty-spicy goodness. And if you want it in the States, you have to make it yourself.
