Cooking at home
Well I love to cook at home, most of the time. Like nearly all women today I am very occupied. Yet I truly do love to get into the galley and make tasty feast for my family and friends. I take great take pleasure in being the talk of the town “If you get invited to Alice’s House for dinner, don’t say no, she’s an awesome cook”. That is one of the many opinions which have been spread about my cooking prowess. It makes me very happy. I have some most-liked cook books and I love to mess with all the recipes . I often go back to the book I obtained a recipe from years later and realize that what I am producing is very different compared to original recipe. I believe it is the mark of a very good cook if you can change a recipe to make it work better or make something up on the fly.
The thing is we are all very busy and sometimes we just need to have something fast and simple to cook. Well there is no way I’d get away with baked beans on toast for dinner in this house, butI actually do have a few tricks up my sleeve for when I am just to tired lack time or could not be bothered.
Calling to get a Pizza is unthinkable, unless of course it is a code red catastrophe (which happens at times). So I am left with, what will i do that is very quick? Today we’re spoilt for choice with many of the packet mixes and jars that are around, therefore some of them are really good (some aren’t). I have to say that a recently discovered favourite of mine is the Continental apricot chicken curry. Now usually I will have to add some of my own twist to a packet mix, but this one delivers purely by using the instructions. A long time favourite may be the quick cook meatballs from Woolworths using a jar of my very favourite Paul Newman’s own pasta sauce and a can of diced tomatoes. If I want a curry in a rush I truly have to make a little bit of a sacrifice on taste but Passage of India Curry Sauces are worth a try. Now actually, none of this is as good as cooking from scratch, nonetheless it works when you are constrained for time and will mean that you may get something way superior to a frozen TV dinner on the table.
