The King's Garbage = Delicious: Ganza.

My mom's best friend is a pretty mean cook. Mean as in she makes killer peanut butter pie and clam chowder, not mean as in she hits people that come into her kitchen. She generously gave my mom one of her family's recipes, which quickly became one of our family's favorites. The name is not all that appealing though....

Ganza.

Which means, according to her, "The King's Garbage". Her ancestry's from Austria, not sure if that's colloquial or whathaveyou, but this garbage is yummy. Here's the recipe as it was told to me, via text message, from my mom. (Sorry, no photos to post. Really, it's not that pretty to look at.)


Ganza, or, The Garbage of Kings - taken loosely from Sue Randall

• 1/2 cup Bisquick
• 1/c cup Krusteaz (or just-add-water pancake mix)
• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• pinch of cinnamon
• pinch of nutmeg

1. Take all the ingredients and mix them together. The consistency should be pretty soupy, thinner than pancake batter.
2. Pour the mixture into a large frying pan, at a medium setting.
3. Turn the mixture continuously in the pan, until it's no longer runny. The result will be a dense, eggy bread-like substance.
4. If you want to add some zing, throw in some grated orange peel. But I like to keep my garbage simple.

I made this for my friend Sssswick when he was in town visiting from Seattle. He enjoyed it. I enjoyed making it, because it's super simple and almost-instant gratification. Try it. I think this is a type of garbage you won't want to throw out.
