Bit by a cooking bug
Mar. 26th, 2004 05:52 pmI got inspired this afternoon. Why? The weather is balmy, I had interesting vegetables, I reorganized part of my kitchen, I could use things up before Passover.
I made:
Shabbat shalom and/or good weekend!
I made:
- steamed Brussels sprouts
- brown rice
- cooked strawberries and cranberries with dumplings (very juicy strawberries, as it turns out)
- an improv Mexican-ish casserole: sauteed onions and red peppers, ricotta, black beans, the end of a jar of spicy red pepper and eggplant spread, Frank's hot sauce, a can of crushed tomatoes, and most of a bag of crushed unsalted blue corn chips that had been rejected by the eating public [edit: also, mozzarella]
- an Asian green related to broccoli somehow (there were florets and yellow flowers; not sure if it's autumn poem or not) sauteed with onion, powdered ginger, black pepper, and soy sauce
- turkey meatballs cooked with onion, chopped spinach, pine nuts, raisins, nutmeg, cumin, coriander, and black pepper. I was a bit rushed, so I didn't do much with the meatballs other than adding them to the rest of the stuff. I don't know where this idea came from... I hope it'll turn out ok.
Shabbat shalom and/or good weekend!
