Resolutions underway

[trinityvixen]

One of my resolutions for this year was to complete five artistic projects, and one thought I had was to learn a new craft. As one of those five projects, I think I'm setting the goal-within-a-goal of finding and making successfully seven new food dishes (the idea being that I will have a week's worth of food options by the end of the year). This shouldn't be too hard. I've added one tonight--it's the stir fry my former roommate used to make. It's simple and I think I pulled it off about right, which is nothing short of amazing given that there's a marinade involved--a marinade, I tells you.

So, that's one! Six more dishes, four more projects. Off to get working on another project now--my sister's very belated wedding gift--while I watch Spooks (second season first disc finally arrived!).

Things I don't like:
-seafood
-squash
-peas

Most other things I can think of that give me even a slight "mmm" of iffiness, I would at least try. When it comes to baking, it's the same as candy: no caramel, no coconut, no chocolate, cheers.

Any other recipes would be keen.

No caramel, no coconut, no chocolate?! Why live?

If I recall, you were're able to make it when we had "cooking day" a few months ago. We can do another round of cooking lessons and run you through some easy, tasty stuff, if you'd like.

I'd love to. I was really sorry to have missed the first one. If you do another, I'll try to clear everything out of the schedule so I can be there with bells on.

And there's plenty of reason to live without chocolate or caramel. I just get it from different sources of junk (hence my devouring skittles and sour cream and onion chips at your wife's party)

Oddly enough, my favorite girl scout cookies as a kid were Samoas, which contain all of those things I don't like. Proof positive that unless you knew the things were in there that you didn't like, you could learn to love a meal of stuff you hate.

In my case however that was never the case. Case in point, found out one kind of Chips Ahoy cookie had coconut the hard way when "low dose" effects hit me that night. The next morning I read the bag and confirmed that there was in fact a coconut product in it. Aren't exotic alergies fun =-þ
