(no subject)
I realize I never really talk about cooking on here, which is odd because I cook a lot. I'm always trying new things out. I usually try to keep things on the "light" side - not just because I'm attempting to lose weight, but because it's just so much easier. So, tonight I took Tilapia (a white fish - kind of like flounder) and dipped it in an egg mixture which had chopped up chives, pepper and some other random dried herbs thrown in. I probably should have coated the fish in flour first to make the egg stay on better, but, eh, whatever. I also cut up some yellow squash in strips - I use whatever vegetables are cheap and in season - and threw everything onto one of those grill pans with the lines (mine is kind of like this, except it's of much lower quality). I actually only used that spray oil stuff, so it really wasn't heavy. It came out great! I squeezed a bit of lemon over everything at the end - you could put lemon on cement and it would taste good. Served some rice on the side.
My favorite thing to make, because, again, it's quick and light, are "pseudo-fajitas." Basically, I just take some kind of fish (usually salmon) or chicken, sprinkle it in this "Herbs de Provence" mixture I picked up at the grocery store a while back, grill it up with some vegetables, open a can of re-fried beans and store bought guacamole (from Trader Joe's) or fresh avocado and put everything into a tortilla. Yum, it's so damn good.
Every once in awhile, I'll get complicated and make a chicken or turkey loaf - I try to avoid eating mammals, so no traditional meatloaf - with roasted potatoes or something involving vegetables and pasta, but it's way too hot during the summer for such nonsense.
EDIT: Wow, this is incredibly disturbing...
As Snape, you may ultimately like to appear you are doing the greater good, but you are hostile and unfriendly towards others. You are intelligent, resourceful and authorative. You also have a lucrative contract with l'Oriel.
