Drinking mayonnaise is -NOT- good, no matter how good it tastes.
Every time I decide to cook something that both looks and tastes delicious, my couz and I inadvertently end up slightly shit-faced, and just a touch disgusted with ourselves. Today's no different, to be completely honest, but I seriously doubt that we are any closer to wanting to cease and desist with all this cooking and eating.
So today, I cooked this. Roasted whitefish wrapped in smoked streaky bacon with steamed asparagus and lemon mayonnaise, courtesey of Jamie Oliver.
There is a sentence in Julie and Julia, where Amy Adams says, "But then I came home and cooked chicken with cream, mushrooms and port, and it was total bliss."
That is the best sentence ever to describe my day, seriously.
I likely fell down/was close to it twice today, and I took a longlonglong walk in the sun from my university's side-campus to the main campus. In the hot sun. In 3.5-inch wedges.
I am wonderwoman.
Once I got back to the main campus, William texted me and we headed to Ikea for lunch, where I showed him the wonder of Ikea meatballs and magic princess cake. (It's not really magic, it's just really delish)
I had the gravad lax, which is basically smoked salmon with a really good yellow honey-mustard sauce. Mmm.
I also bought a new pair of shoes; gladiator sandals, which would have looked so much better as heels, but as I realised today, heels and me just don't go that great together.
At any rate, by the time I got back to Jaya Grocer, it was 5:30 in the afternoon, and I was WAY behind schedule. I did, however, manage to work fast this time around. The recipe didn't require much work, and I got done fast enough. We sat down to dinner by 7:30.
I used dory-fish as a substitute for Jamie's reccomendation; cod, which is really far too expensive for my student's budget. The smoked streaky bacon was delish, though, and I think the mayonnaise may be something that I have fallen irrevocably in love with. It's zesty...
Damn you, Jamie Oliver! (No, not really) Bacon -and- mayo, the most healthy thing on this plate is likely the asparagus.
Speaking of which, today was the first time I've ever had asparagus, and I quite liked it. It's meaty, like he said it would be!
Take a deep breath, because I think it may be time for me to try, actually, literally try, Julia Child's beef bourguignon. I imagine I'll find the inspiration to do it in the coming weeks. Seems I've gotten a penchant for cooking that isn't disappearing.
And oi, I am sneezing. Whoever's talking about me, stop, or I will hit you with my leftover mayonnaise!
