The last time I went to any gathering it was to a pig roast a neighbor gave. My daughter and I whipped up a large pan of goulash by a special recipe out of a Mexican cook book? It turned out pretty yummy. There were a lot of people there and the pan was empty when we took it home. I haven't seen that recipe for a long time I wonder if I still have it? When we were still attending church as a family, I took different foods. Sometimes cakes or other types of casserole dishes. Thanksgiving when my children were young was always at K's mother's house. I found a recipe for green beans made with mushrooms. That dish was a hit. I'm surprised how much better green beans taste if they are cooked with equal parts of mushrooms. Fresh green beans sliced into a fry pan with a pat of butter and some olive oil, add equal amounts of mushrooms and fry until green beans are slightly softer. (mushrooms are good for cholesterol) How about a bowl of cooked brown rice- spread with fresh crushed tomatoes and feta cheese chunks. Yummy! Food in any amount should be inspirational. A doctor once told me the meat and potatoes staple this country was fed as children is not a good diet. One of the things I always looked forward to in the summer was my own fresh grown lettuce from the garden. What do you think of fewer calories and more taste? I don't like to cook. I do like to eat. When I was young I did not like to eat. That was better. walk it off. Walk it off. Walk It off. Walk It Off. WALK IT OFF. |
