Thoughts while prepping dinner...

I realize it sound weird that I'm prepping dinner at one in the afternoon (1300) but I'm doing southwestern goodness tonight and that involves copious amounts of chopping of fresh veggies. Chopping is one of my favorite kitchen duties - it's good thinking time. So here are the random things that have occurred to me as I chop:

  • The Great Cheese Conundrum: Alas, I have gained a Gruyere only to lose a Monterey Jack. (I've found white cheddar here - no sharpness distinction - but I still miss my MoJack)
  • I am so embarrassed to admit this - I forgot that I kind of like iceberg lettuce every once in a while...
  • My salsas are getting better but I'm still missing some magical ingredient...
  • How come no one in the world knows there is more to American food than just McDonalds?


Jiu Jitsu postscript: My thighs hurt so bad, the only time they don't hurt is if I stand with my knees locked or if I lay down...

i'm just kidding. :) i like southern kitchen, but don't know all the names of the delicious food i had there.

but for example: i like jambalaya and other cajun food, especialy with chicken in it. :)

Funny you mention - I plan to do cajun in a few weeks for Kasia and Peter and prbably a couple other friends and you are more than welcome to join us! We can have a tiny cajun party!

i just don't know if i can make on the opposite side of the country, since the next few weeks are pretty busy.

Miz K said...

Hey, I know as well that there's much more to the American kitchen than just McDonalds and Burger King :D
Dinner was fab! I can't wait for the cajun party!
