Food Fight
Just had huge fight with husband.
Post Hell-week, I made a meal using up the leftover rice and leftover potatoes that were still in the fridge:
Post Hell-week, I made a meal using up the leftover rice and leftover potatoes that were still in the fridge:
- curried rice (with Madras sauce from Quick After-Work Curries
)
- spicy potato patties stuffed with peas, spinach and chile from Ismail Merchant's Passionate Meals
Two different items, two different flavors, two different colors. Served it up, looking healthy and appealing. Smelled great.
Spouse shoveled up a forkful of one dish and then added a good helping of the other onto same forkful.
The same forkful.
Why did I bother making two things? Why spend an hour cooking two dishes when I could have made one thing with one taste in 20 minutes?
When I pointed out that I had made two dishes from two different recipes and that each had a different taste to enjoy, my spouse told me that I was being too directive. That it all gets mixed up in the digestive process anyway.
Maybe so.

But he is now going to be a recipient of one-pot-meals until he begs for mercy.

While I like to eat things with specific tastes seperately I'm a big fan of mixing things together. I'm one of those people that always puts my corn into my mashed potatoes. Depends on the dish I suppose.
