Dinner Fail
I cook fairly regularly, maybe on average two or three meals a week when we're eating at home (like we're supposed to). I can make a variety of things without a recipe, but I enjoy going off of these Cook's Country recipe cards. Either way, I'm accustomed to making something tasty and enjoyable. When that doesn't happen, it's a bit of a shock.
Like tonight: I was trying out a marsala pork dish for the first time. I had to go around to a couple of stores to find the marsala wine. Unfortunately, I put in way more onions than was palatable and the whole thing ended up in the trash. We ended up eating Thundercloud sandwiches.
I hate onions. I hate eating them, I hate prepping them. There's a brief moment when you're cooking them that they make a nice tonic note against meaty smells -- or in this case, marsala -- and I almost thought it would turn out well. Ugh. Next time, much less onion, maybe substitute with shallots. And maybe some cream would give it some smoothness.
