Sharon showed me a Moroccan cookbook she has and some of the recipes in it just sound and look stupendous. Of course I'd use beef, pork, or chicken instead of lamb some of the recipes call for, but they look absolutely wonderful.
We have cooked Minted Chicken, Mexican pulled pork with mole, and the Shrimp Parfait from the new LCBO magazine with an Asian Slaw on the side. I looked at the Minted Chicken with a jaundiced eye, but it was excellent. It called for a cup of packed mint...that's a lot of mint. Tonight we are making comfort food...meatloaf with macaroni & cheese on the side.
I was going to leave on the 8th, but then realized that's tomorrow, so changed it to the 9th...maybe even the 10th. But I need to get home and pay the bills.
Here's the cookbooks I ordered: Moroccan by Ghillie Basan, a Food Lover's Collection; The Soul of A New Cuisine by Marcus Samuelsson, A discovery of the foods and flavors of Africa; and, Susanna Foo Fresh Inspiration, New approaches to Chinese cuisine. I am looking forward to cooking out of all of them. I decided Paul would just have to get his tongue in the adventurous mode
Me too!
