I am so busy!
I was never this busy in Boise!
You’ve probably figured this out by now. But what I really want to write about is cooking. I am busy cooking. I wrote about this last post, too. But after last night’s supper, I have to write again.
After going off processed foods, or at least attempting such, I realized I have gone off fortified foods and need to actually pay attention to getting nutrients in my diet. So I went to the store and bought some lovely organic produce. I planned a great meal for myself… and then it happened.
My husband asked if I’d just cook a bit more of it for him. Then my sister’s boyfriend asked if I would mind throwing in a little extra for him. By then, there were three of us, so I asked my sister, and then there were four. My other roommate had already eaten so this night there were only four instead of five.
It’s not a big deal. I actually like cooking and I only cook when I feel like it. But let’s review:
Thursday – last night, already discussed
Wednesday – cooked for roommates, self
Tuesday – cooked for party
Monday – Bingo
Sunday – cooked for roommates, self
Notice a trend?
But here’s the thing. I’m totally enjoying it. There is something really fun about us all gathering around the table with a “fine mess of sup” as my husband says. And don’t worry. When I stop enjoying it, I’ll stop doing it.
I posted a comment here but I don't see it....so here I go again!
ReplyDeleteI love to cook too! I think it's because it's great for instant gratification! :)
So what did you cook? Do you want to share recipes?
I cook random stuff. Mostly easy things. Here is something my sister made that I copied and added a side dish to that is so yummy:
ReplyDeleteApricot Quesadillas
You make a regular quesadillas except instead you spread apricot preserves on one tortilla, then add pepper jack cheese, then add finely chopped cilantro, and then add the top tortilla. Cook like you regularly would.
So, so good.
I added a side dish of sweet potato home fries which are basically just sweet potatoes cut into small chunks and cooked in margarine with salt and pepper until fork tender.
That was a good one.
I'll email the ratallouli recipe and have husband email the TVP taco soup recipe!
