when i'm by myself, i hardly ever cook myself a meal. whenever i'm hungry i just find food i feel like eating that will fill me up and satisfy my tastebuds...
so now i'm having to dig up recipes that have been shoved to the back of my mind...
i have no problem with cooking, that's for sure... it's just that i have to put some grease to my rusty thinking wheel in the recipe department.. plus making use of locally available ingredients... i figure i'll start out with simple things and then elaborate more as i go...
this evening's recipe: whole chicken soup with 'spanish' rice
he just called to tell me he's on his way and is bringing some fish too... so i guess fish is added to the menu... wonder if he'll eat both cus he's not into mixing seafood with land/airfood...
i just cubed a bunch of beef chunks so some sort of beef stew is possibly going to happen in the near future. i've found myself not to be very creative when it comes to meat (beef)... a slab of raw meat tends to scare me a bit unless i have a grill... then no problem... and i'm not about to experiment with the oven for the time being... so everything's gotta be made stove top...
on friday when we walked through the market, i saw some really tasty looking squid... maybe i should test them out next time... the fish here is really nice too, but i don't know if i wan't to be cooking much of that as there's no fan in the kitchen and opening the window just doesn't cut it
i also have to find more spices... i need basil, oregano, bay leaves, cinnamon...
