Hmm. Made a peach cobbler in the solar oven. Sampled it. Quite a bit of it, actually.
Once the cobbler was out and cooling, I popped a melange of leftovers into a granite wear pot -- cooked salmon and chicken from a few days ago, and added some fresh sliced zucchini, mushrooms, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, chili oil, olive oil and salt and pepper. Put it in the solar oven for an hour.
It came out so good -- and right at noon -- so I ended up eating my portion for lunch instead of waiting to eat it when the family has dinner later on today.
I have no willpower where good food is concerned. And I'm not a bit sorry.
I have no willpower whatsoever when it comes to food either! I sample quite a bit while I cook, especially if I'm cooking pasta. I might have to try your chicken/salmon concoction :) Sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt's very similar in flavor to Thai food, probably because of the chili oil/lime combination. It was so refreshing as a summer dish, I will definitely do it again! If you try it let me know how you like it!
DeleteI'm right there with you! I think it comes with creativity :)
ReplyDeleteAll your creations sound wonderful. I really need to get myself a solar oven. I spend more on far less practical things! With your heritage, you can appreciate this: last week I saw a photo of Prince Charles in the 80s wearing a Barbour jacket. I had to have one! It should last forever though...
I truly believe that money spent on clothing is money spent on creativity...it's appreciating color and cut, and wearing something that makes you feel good. That is worth a lot, as much as painting or any other creative endeavor!
