Cooking in the home
Well I love to prepare food, most of the time. Like majority of the women now I am extremely active. But I truly do love to get into the kitchen and turn out mouth watering feast for my friends and family. 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 an incredible cook". That is one of the many comments which have been extended about my cooking prowess. It makes me very proud. I've some favourite cook books and I enjoy to mess with all the recipes . I often revisit the book I obtained a recipe from years later and realize that what I'm creating is quite different versus the original recipe. I believe that it is the mark of a very good cook if you can change a recipe to make it work better or make something up on the fly.
To be honest we are all very busy and occasionally we just need to have something fast and simple to cook. Well there's no way I'd 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 don't have time or couldn't be bothered.
Calling to get a Pizza is out of the question, unless of course it's a code red disaster (which happens sometimes). Therefore i am left with, what can i do that is really quick? Today we have been spoilt for choice with a number of the packet mixes and jars that are around, and thus 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 following 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 rush I really need to make a little bit of a sacrifice on taste but Passage of India Curry Sauces are worth trying. Now actually, none of this is as good as cooking from scratch, however it works if you are pushed for time and means you can get something way superior to a frozen TV dinner on the table.
