What's nice about cooking for yourself is you can do things that would cause your husband to protest and take arms. So when Clees left on Thursday morning, I promptly started a pot of garlic, potato, quinoa soup. To cap it off, I threw in my left over chile verde pork burrito. Hehehe. To add fresh flavor, chives and handful of nasturtium leaves go in at the last minute. It was fantastic. Add to that, I didn't have to share with anybody.
For Thursday dinner, I added a tired but still serviceable red cabbage, left over spare ribs and sausage from my Thai grill Wednesday dinner from Jimmy Bean, more shallots. The flavor profile gets deeper by the meal. Serve with handfuls of arugula, nasturtiums and chives, and you have one happy girl.
Since Saturday lunch I sadly finished of my friend the soup, I had to come up with a new zinger. I started making apricot lentil soup trying to follow a recipe. While I was stirring I could not resist my creative self. I threw in chopped walnuts, then green tomatoes and the good part of a worm eaten Sierra Beauty. Served with lemon juice and dollop of yogurt, my head and belly puff up with pride. I guess Clees can deflate me when he returns.
