Hi Shawn,
RH> Unless it's accompanied by a pile of presents that get ignored after
RH> a day or so.
SH> That's true. :)
That stops after a certain age, sooner for some kids than others. And,
some "kids" never grow out of their love of getting a pile of stuff.
RH> married, I started moving away from that kind of cooking. As a
RH> result, our girls enjoyed eating a wide variety of foods while
RH> growing up, and cook that way themselves.
SH> That's a good thing. It's pretty basic eats around here when Andrea
SH> cooks, a bit more fancy when I do, and my FIL hasn't ever used the
SH> kitchen for more than making a sammich.
Steve is in the kitchen quite often. We had a container of (cooked)
garbanzo beans in the fridge for I don't know how long; last night he
turned them into hummus. Sort of followed a recipe but did some
improvisation. Time was, he'd follow a recipe exactly; I've nudged him
into being comfortable with tweaks as he sees fit over the years.
SH> SH>> an excuse to fry fish again soon! ;)
RH> Or, use them as a side for something else. Roast beef, Yorkshire
RH> pudding and mushy peas?
SH> Well yes, but I could have fried fish again.... Seems best. :)
Your peas, your choice. We don't do a lot of fish/seafood at home any
more but we've got several good or great seafood restaurats in the area.
A friend just gave me a Hello Fresh recipe card for Shrimp Spaghetti
With A Kick that we'll probably try. He gets the Hello Fresh kits and
passes duplicate recipe cards (if it's a 2nd time ordering) over to me
as he knows I can make the same thing without a kit. Trying to convince
him that he's now capable of doing the same thing.
