Lately
I've been in the mood to cook by figuring out what I
can do with what's already in my fridge rather than
starting with a recipe and then getting the items I
don't have. This time around I put together some ground
beef; basil, garlic & oregano
tomato sauce; and cheese dip (I'm embarrassed to admit
that I have that stuff in my fridge) to make... well, I don't
know what to call it. Ground beef with cheese and tomato
sauce? Hmm... how about ground
beef salad? Yeah, that'll do. It's one of those
handy-flexible things that you can whip up in minutes
and serve in a lot of different ways. In this case,
I stuffed mini-pitas with it to make mini-pitaburgers.
Then I have the totally-unsurprising steamed
broccoli. Below that is
lotus root, which this
time I didn't cook up fancy. I cut it into coins and
parboiled it, so it has its own mild flavor, and a pleasant
crunch. On the other side, fresh lychees, strawberries,
and almond cake.
Wanna talk
about it?
