I think cooking is one of my joys. I just wish I could eat more. *laughing*
Last night, we had salad. CostCo has these huge bags for under three bucks. Just your basic iceburg lettuce, carrot and red cabbage variety. Sometimes we have it like that, other times I add to it.
Last night, I added to it. I chopped up some red onion (nice bite!) and avocado. We had a bag of pre-cooked sliced chicken breasts in the freezer, which I defrosted and heated up with barbeque sauce. Tasty.
Added that to the top of the salad. Brian had ranch dressing and I made my own vinegraitte. I used red wine vinegar, olive oil, crushed garlic, red onion, oregano, pepper, and lime juice. My hand blender died. So, before I could finish my lucious salad dressing, I went to Wal-Mart, got a new one (paid twice as much as I expected to, but they didn’ t have just the blender, it had attachments which might come in handy someday…yeah, right), came home and blended the heck out of those ingredients.
Dinner last night was very good.
Don’t know what I’m going to make tonight, probably something easy, but tomorrow night, I’m going to try my hand at fajitas. We’ve got some New York strips in there, I might make steak fajitas for Brian and chicken fajitas for me. I have to make up a marinade and get the meat soaking tonight. Those New Yorks have too much fat in them. I know they’re supposed to so they’re more tender, but I just do not like fatty beef. One reason I don’t eat ribs and I’ve quit eating prime rib. Ribs are too much work to get anything worth eating and with prime rib, by the time I’ve cut all the fat away, there’s not much meat left. I can thank my maternal grandmother for this. She convinced me when I was very, very young that the fat was actually rubber. Not something I had or have much interest in eating. Grosses me out to this day.
Other than that, I just can’t believe how much pleasure I get out of cooking.
