    Anniversary Dinner! 2 weeks ago

    For mine and my boyfriends 1yr anniversary we went to vegas. But the night before we left I cooked him an amazing dinner. I even impressed myself! I ventured out and used a cookbook I got for Christmas. Did all the shopping and the prep work, and made a delicious meal. He loved it and even asked when I was going to make it again! =)

    It’s amazing, but I have been living with my now husband for a bit less than a year, and already I feel that I’m repeating the same recipes over and over. Also, there’s the situation with my lack of consistency in cooking, in part because I feel bad that I’m repeating the same dishes all the time. I want to receive him with a hot meal each day (not once in a while) after he comes home from work, and for it to be a varied menu, so we don’t get bored with home-cooked meals.

    The meal we prepared last night: chicken fillets in honey marinade, couscous, some plum tomatoes again (‘cos they’re just so good), a mix of peas, corn and paprika, and curry sauce. Very good, yum!

    If I can cook all my meals through the end of August, I’ll check this off as complete. So far everything is still going well… I made fried tofu and vegetable fried rice on Thursday, then learned how to make spring rolls.

    I plan to eventually learn to make croquettes/korokke, homemade tortillas, a vegetarian adaptation of my chili recipe, homemade pierogies, vegetable soup and vegetarian potstickers.



    New Recipes 4 weeks ago

    On Monday, I had a cooking lesson with my aunt from Manila. I learned new and exciting recipes that I think I can actually do! Among them are: pork shumai, grilled shrimp, 2 types of beefsteak, chicken on potatoes, and grilled eggplant. Not to mention the dessert crema de fruta! I couldn’t believe that I was able to make these things – I feel such a sense of accomplishment! I think I can realistically expect to make these dishes myself in the future for my family.

    So I add the above dishes to my usual recipe repertoire: spaghetti with meatballs, broiled tilapia, fresh salsa, roast chicken, kare-kare, nilagang baka, paella.

    The more I cook the more cooking tips I remember. Unfortunately I always remember after I make the mistake. A couple weeks back I made congee, but didn’t properly skim the stock as it was cooking :( Maybe I should write down tips as I remember them so I don’t have to relearn again.

    Other tips:
    -When making yogurt, make sure the starter is completely mixed and don’t disturb the yogurt while incubating.
    -Add a pinch of baking soda to sour spaghetti sauce if you don’t want to use sugar.
    -Substitute mashed banana or applesauce for an egg while baking.
    -Always start stock with cold water.

    Today I made pan-fried gnocchi with garlic, tomato, and spinach :)
