Cooking in the home
Well I love to cook at home, more often than not. Like majority of the women nowadays I’m extremely busy. But I truly do love to get into the kitchen and make tasty feast for my family and friends. I take great enjoy being the talk of the town “If you get invited to Alice’s Home for dinner, don’t say no, she’s a wonderful cook”. That is one of the many opinions that have been passed about my cooking prowess. It makes me very happy. I’ve some favourite cook books and I like to fiddle with all the recipes . I often go back to the book I obtained a recipe from years later and see what I am producing is very different compared to original recipe. I believe that it is the mark of a great 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 occasionally we just need to have something quick and easy to cook. Well there’s no way I would get away with baked beans on toast for dinner in this house, butI do possess a few tricks up my sleeve for when I’m simply to tired lack time or couldn’t be bothered.
Calling to get a Pizza is unthinkable, unless it is a code red catastrophe (which happens at times). And so i am left with, what will i do that is very quick? These days we are spoilt for choice with many of the packet mixes and jars which are around, and so many of them are really good (some aren’t). I have to say that a not too long ago discovered favourite of mine is the Continental apricot chicken curry. Now usually I would have to add some of my own twist to a packet mix, but this one delivers purely by using the guidelines. A very long time favourite may be the quick cook meatballs from Woolworths with a jar of my very favourite Paul Newman’s own pasta sauce along with a can of diced tomatoes. If I want a curry in a hurry I truly do have to make a bit of a sacrifice on taste but Passage of India Curry Sauces are worth trying. Now truly, none of this is as good as cooking from scratch, but it works if you are hard pressed for time and means that you can get something way superior to a frozen TV dinner on the table.
