spanish rice overkill

Sep 15, 2004 21:05

So, I find that when one's wife is pregnant and one does all the cooking, one tends to want to overfeed, overnurture, overeat, or something to compensate. Here's what happened when I set out to make a little spanish rice and realized it was going to get out of hand if I kept on adding stuff that sounded good (but I did it anyway):

Yum.
I'd probably tweak it to my own nefarious purposes (pinto beans instead of black beans, no avocado/cilantro/chicken, maybe some chipotle tabasco sauce or some smoked Boca sausage) but it sounds fabulous.
Congratulations, by the way.

Hey, Ancient Philosophy... you and I can talk shop. :)

He said something to the effect that picking up my copy of Sophie's World (that you recommended to me) was what convinced him that he might enjoy the class, instead of being scared off by the historical aspect. :)

The book is capable of working all sorts of wonders, I swear. ^..^

I've always really enjoyed the historical philosophers. They have some of the coolest views of the world and the way it works. I think my favorite is still Leibniz's (now called) gunk theory, but some of the ancient Greeks had some awesome views too. :)

Always good to see you poke your head up here. And always interesting to see what you come up with in the kitchen.

Holy moly. You like your rice hot, eh? :)

I may need to give you a call the next time I make chili (Kristen doesn't care for it, especially if it's spicy, I like it spicy enough to feel, but not so spicy that I need severe amounts of milk and/or bring tears to my eyes. :)

It doesn't seem overly spicy, I think just because it's such a big pot of stuff. It's got bits of neutral-to-sweet flavor also, like the corn kernels and potato and avocado chunks. But yeah, if I were making a serious chili I'm sure Kristen would not like it either, I do enjoy a good spicy meal :)

My nose and tongue are far too sensitive for my own good. s:)

By the by, CONGRATS to you too:) *hug*
