Good Morning, All.
I made an amateur chef mistake in making the rice last night that would have gotten me kicked off the first night of Hell's Kitchen. I boiled water on the back burner and put the rice in the pot. So far so good. Unfortunately, I turned the FRONT burner to low and left the back burner on high. Then I walked away for the 20 minutes it was supposed to cook. Needless to say, 7 minutes later I smelled something coming from the kitchen. The water evaporated in less then 8 minutes and my rice was burnt, Thankfully, not to the bottom of the pan. Smooth move Exlax...
I picked out a couple recipes for the week. One is a shrimp and (the aformentioned) rice caserrole out of Taste of Home. The other is Steak Diane. I found the Steak Diane recipe on FS, but then did a quick Internet search and found one through Cooking Light. I love some of the recipes on FS, but some seem forced, if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I still find it a useful resource.
All signs point to my wife ending her travel on Wednesday, so I made the shrimp, which she doesn't like, last night and I'll make the steak tonight. We had a chicken dish on Sunday, and she really liked the baked ziti (okay, penne) from last Thursday. I have really built up my cookbook over the last few months. The issue is she doesn't like shell fish or overly spicy food. Hey, what do you expect. I would be wourried if a Midwest farm girl wasn't a meat and potatoes girl. Well, here's to a good day to the FS community.
P.S. Please keep those in Japan in your thoughts.
