I like to cook because of experiences like yesterday. It was pouring rain all day and cold (thanks, Summer, for visiting us here in the UK a few weeks ago. Mind coming back?) No sense going out for food, and so began a day of culinary adventures foraging through cupboard and fridge for just the right combinations.
In the fridge and freezer:
eggs
cheese
spinach
cooked black eyed peas (yes, leftover but reconstitution renders any food "new" rather than "leftover" in my universe - the leftover hating universe)
half a purple onion
cauliflower
cooked rice
bacon
In the cupboard and on the sideboard:
tinned tomatoes
potatoes
Crystal sauce
dried coriander and cumin
limes
garlic
salt and pepper
really bad and therefore oh so good chocolate covered biscuit wheels with marshmallow cream inside
So we had a fantastic bean, spinach, onion and cheese frittata with homemade salsa.
And roasted potato wedges later to finish up the salsa.
Fried rice with bacon, cauliflower and spinach.
really bad biscuits
We even had a bottle of red wine kicking around here. Time to stock up for the next rainy day, that's for sure.
