A fanny cooking story

Here is a Cream of spinach what I cooked in Camano for David  yesterday .But is not one usual .Why ?  After I will tell the story you will understand why . I have a big bag of spinach from Costco   and I decided to prepare a good cream of spinach , after the cream is  done I use to put vinegar or sour cream or  yogurt or all above .This ingredients balance the non test of spinach and make a delicious side dish . So I  open  the refrigerator to take the rice vinegar what I love it . The rice vinegar what I have there was in a water battle . But in the same water bottle was Romanian tequila to . I grape the tequila and I pour in to spinach by mistake .Then I tested and I was surprise about the test , was   not sour  like I expect ,so I pour more , I test again and the same , then I realize I didn’t put vinegar . Oh , my , I pour from “TUICA “ Romanian tequila. So Finally I put vinegar and I finish my dish of spinach . Maybe can be a new recipe ? who knows ? Was different anyway   I am positive this recipe will be good for the people who like tequila , and do not like the spinach .After they taste this spinach they will love the spinach to .

My Dinner

Monday, May 18th, 2009

I like to improvise my Dinner with what I have at  home . A simple Dinner with salad and veggies can look elegant and sophisticate if you use your imagination and pleasure .If you play with food and do different arrangements the plate can be your canvas and the food your colors .Like tonight I have a  salad , veggies and chicken wings and a peace of orange cake and a glass of beets  cranberry apple   juice . What a elegant , simple and satisfy Dinner !
