Adventures In Cooking
Three quick updates on the cooking front.
I made my first stir fry using a real Wok. The veggies cooked much nicer and the flavor was better than any stir fry I’ve made to date. It tasted so good, I didn’t even pause to take a photo.
The second update was my failure story. I was making a soup using kidney beans. Everything was cut and prepped and ready to go. However, I was missing an ingredient. The recipe asked for chili powder and I substituted jalapeno powder. Mistake. Big Mistake.
Although it tasted good, albeit quite spicy, it destroyed my stomach. The spices were like battery acid on my gut. Even though I had made over 10 servings and probably spent $10 in ingredients, I had to throw it all out. Losing $10 was a cheap lesson compared to the $9000 I lost on shorting oil without a stop-loss earlier this year.
Update number three was a simple whole wheat spaghetti made using buffalo meat.

I was walking home from the bars a couple of weeks ago and noticed a dish very similar to yours on the pavement by a pub exit. There was no spaghetti, and it had more chunks (probably not pineapple). Your dish looks slightly less edible.

The cook was better than the photographer.
