I've been in a bit of a food rut recently... cooking the same old things repeatedly. I think it's the lack of really distinct seasons here in Jakarta (particularly this year, now that rainy season is encroaching on what should be dry season!) and the new and exciting produce associated with that season change. I am jealous of the seasonal farm stand strawberries and asparagus that I see on all of my cooking blogs...
However, Tim and I did discover a new treat this week: another, more "adult" iteration of my beloved banana shake: the Kahlua chocolate version! Dudes, this is my new favorite dessert/after dinner drink.

It barely qualifies as a recipe; it's really just a question of adding ingredients to taste, but the rough ratios are:
1 cup of milk + 1 frozen overripe banana + a tablespoon/good squirt of chocolate syrup + a shot of Kahlua = heaven
(and if you wanted to go more hardcore with the booze, I think a bit of rum or vodka wouldn't hurt!)
