I do have a couple resolutions, But the fun one is to refine my cooking skills! I can do basic, but feel like branching out a bit. (It may be because I got a wok for Christmas 🙂 ) So my first effort of the new year, jambalaya, is on the stove right now; getting reheated after spending the night in the fridge to let the flavors blend. I promised to bring some over to a friend's for dinner on Saturday, who happens to be an excellent cook. It is kind of intimidating, knowing how good a cook she is; but this one I think I did ok with. I actually lost my recipe when I moved a couple years ago, so have been cobbling together a new one, based on someone else's recipe. The recipe was pretty bland, so I've spiced things up a bit, to get my desired heat and spiciness in it. And yes, I keep notes - so damn many of them on this recipe I'm going to have to sit down and rewrite it! I'll portion it out in a minute, freeze some and set aside the portion for tomorrow night. I'll let whoever reads this know how tomorrow's taste testing goes...
Next week, Chinese!
