What’s Cooking – Lately
I wasn’t feeling like putting a lot of effort into cooking since we got back from the four Thanksgiving Dinner Tour. I made sloppy joes w/ queso. I made Mexican casserole, which I’m sure the likes of Rick Bayless would question me on what parallel universe I live in that has food like that in Mexico.
I felt a little differently today, even though my feet were achy from all the Hauling of Stuff I did today. My original plan was to make a wild rice and goat cheese ravioli today and a prime rib with a wild rice and mushroom stuffing tomorrow. However, we got to the store and Ada decided to make some bad decisions which caused her to have one of her meltdowns. I didn’t make it past cart selection before I had to pick her up and just leave. Without a store trip, I looked at what I had and decided to make a goat cheese, cranberry and walnut ravioli with a walnut cream sauce. Yeah for the big bag of walnuts. Boo for the lackluster results. Next time, I will leave out the walnuts in the ravioli and make a different sauce. Tomorrow is now up in the air.
We have been having more of a snack at lunch than an actual put together lunch. It is easier to let the kids pick out a fruit, protein and vege (at times) than to make a lunch-type meal. Today both Ada, Jay and I make a tuna salad to eat on crackers: yellow fin tuna, sun dried tomatos, grated parm, olive oil, and salt. We at it on top of crackers and had it with some sliced white cheddar. Jay brought over some garam masala to add to the dish. I pretended to add it. I had them taste as we went along.
My battery will be dead in about one minute, so this is the end of this post.
