Thursday is our meatless meal day. I fix things that have a complete protein but don’t use meat. Frequently what I end up making is vegan, but we are not vegans. We like meat. A lot.
I usually end up making enough for 6 people, so I eat the leftovers for lunch for the next several days.
Tonight we had dal (Indian recipe for rice and lentils), which I got from a great vegetarian cookbook that I have used so much that it is starting to fall apart...
last week we had black bean and quinoa salad, which I got off from the Allrecipes website.. and the week before we had vegetarian chili and cornbread.
I used two different recipes when I made the chili and got the spices fouled up. I’m not sure what I did exactly, but it was probably the worst-tasting chili I have ever made.
After we finished, I asked Himself what he thought of the chili. “Oh,” he says, “it was great.” All I said was “Good, I am glad you liked it.”
As my sweet sissy says “I have found if I don't point out flaws, he won't notice either.”
I was able rehabilitate the chili by adding some more canned tomatoes and some more chili powder and that did the trick.
Interesting meals. My old Betty Crocker is falling apart...it is 51 years old....so I guess:)
ReplyDeleteYes! My first Betty Crocker that I got as a wedding present 50 yeas ago fell apart and was replaced 25 years ago (?) at least, and the second one is now falling apart as well. I still use it constantly.
ReplyDeleteI practically learned to cook out of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I bought it when I got my first apartment, choosing that particular cookbook because it was what my sister used, and she has always been a great cook. My mother was a great cook, but she never taught me to cook as a kid. So I NEEDED a cookbook!
