Not bad
Last night we had to get some of the leftovers out of the fridge. So I used the rest of the gyoza I made a few days ago (they were OK, but Ethan prefers "regular" potstickers to homemade ones, because mine had green things in them). Then I made a Vietnamese-ish fried rice with the leftover ground turkey, red pepper, a serrano pepper, shiitake, onions, and a few shrimp. And egg. Ginger, garlic, and then fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Jeff liked it, so I guess it was good.
Generally speaking we've both been uninspired in terms of cooking and eating. I think we're not getting enough exercise. But on Monday I made a very lengthy Indian lamb recipe. It wasn't difficult, just long, but it turned out really good. From Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking, one of the Indian cookbooks we got for New Year's several years ago. I made a slightly odd brown rice and pea dish, flavored with saffron and black cumin seeds. I think it was only odd because it was brown rice, but we didn't have any basmati. And then a yogurt-garlic-mint sauce (Ethan can be counted on to eat lots of that), and the closest thing we had on hand to naan: Trader Joe's handmade tortillas. And decaf chai. The same cookbook has a very nice chai recipe, very simple, but I think the key thing is to boil the spices, heat the milk and sugar, and then just steep the tea a few minutes. Yummy yum.
I really miss having Ann and Zack around to cook and eat with. Even more so now that they've got a baby! I can't wait to go there in July and meet Mika.
