I’m actually starting to cook pretty good, well, “better” food lately.
Using my weekly menu planner, I’ve made Mac and cheese with SPAM; liver, and onions with basmati rice, and mixed veg.; the best chile con carne I’ve ever made; roasted salmon with leftover basmati rice, and mixed veg.; the list goes on.
The following week I made enchiladas with a beef/pork mix, diced new potatoes, shredded carrots, and onions, and rice on the side. Tonight we had chicken tikka masala, with spiced basmati rice. It was delicious. Not the curry sauce I was expecting, but that will come next week. I hope.
For the rest of the week I’m planning on Albóndigas en salsa roja, and left over rice. I’m hoping to make a tortilla soup with enfrijoladas for Thursday, with fish tacos, beans, and rice for Friday.
Each time I read, and follow a recipe I take the opportunity to make it my own, cooking “by the seat of my pants” as my husband calls it. Improvisation is what I call it.
A really good curry sauce, if I can get that right, will be the first pinnacle in my new journey.
I’ll let you know how this continues.
Until next time, stay safe.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Our prayers have been answered.
