It seems my kitchen and I are getting along again.

Yesterday we FINALLY went grocery shopping and re-stocked our fridge.  It felt good to have food in the house again, and inspired me to try and try a new recipe for a change.  We had bought lo mein noodles and a veggie stirfry (water chestnuts, carrots, broccoli, yellow carrots, celery), so I mixed it up with some chicken, herbs, seasoning and lemon juice.  I also steamed rice on the side (love my rice cooker! ).  The end results were SOOO GOOD.  Albert rated it a 5 out of 5… I was quite proud of myself The broccoli in the stir fry was just crunchy enough on the outside, with its own juice still completely absorbed inside it.  MMMMMM.  I was even more happy at the fact that it was a new recipe I tried, and it came out soo perfect.  I wish I’d made enough for leftovers! argh. 

Anyway. 

Today I think I’m going to try something new with the leftover steamed rice I have.  Maybe some pineapple fried rice?  Me and my asian dishes, by the time I’m done learning all these recipes, you’ll be wondering if I was really born into a Mexican family, bwahaha.

I wish I would do this more often.  Cooking is so fun, even when you don’t know what you’re doing.
