Adjusting from cooking for 2 to cooking for 1 over the past year has been a challenge.
I used to be so deft in the kitchen, but I lost my spark somewhere. I've had some wins in the kitchen; isolated moments of tasty victory. Dumb luck? Mostly, I've had blunders and f*ck-ups.
But today! Today, I decided to improvise. I said, "You know what? To hell with it. It's 3pm on a Sunday. Hoarders is on, and I've got some bow-tie pasta and a bottle of wine and nowhere to be." So I made a creamy wine sauce with garlic, cooked down cherry tomatoes for a fast sauce, and threw it all together with a handful of peas and a sprig of fresh basil from the plant I've yet to murder.
It was the first dish I've made in a long time where I took a bite and said, "Oh, CrayonAngelss? Yea, I know her "
What's your latest cooking success?
