Wednesday is laundry day for me. But the kitchen rules the day. It began when I stuck my clothes in the washer at 8 am, my Mom bought me glutenous rice with salt fish from Embun's restaurant at the crossroads. I'm very fond of glutenous rice with salt fish, but only with fresh tomatoes, and since I had to go downtown anyway to pick up a prayer schedule (it was the Muslim new year yesterday), I decided to go to the market and get some tomatoes. I also bought a bunch of cilantro, and decided to make marinara sauce. When I got home, I blended up the marinara sauce, and also the coconut meat I harvested yesterday to make curry. They were young coconuts and I controlled the amount of water I put in the blender, so I ended up with a smooth paste. Sweet and thick, kind of like coconut flavored yogurt, but thicker. I made the curry in the evening, which turned out smooth and thick. It would have been totally sweet except for the chunk of salted fish I added for flavor. A total success. I also had some steak defrosting, so I cubed some of that up and marinated it to be used as steak, and I also chopped some up with a sharp knife to get some minced beef for my spaghetti sauce. I needed to make room in the freezer, so I pulled out some chicken wings and legs yesterday to defrost, and today I precooked that in BBQ sauce for BBQ sometime later. So for lunch, I had that glutenous rice with salt fish and fresh tomatoes, and for dinner it was fry bread with my super thick generic curry.
Suddenly I have a lot of food! Alhamdulillah. My fridge and freezer will be full! Today I made:
1. Marinara sauce
2. Curry
3. BBQ chicken
4. Marinated steak
plus I have that curry flavored beef from yesterday, and when I get back from the mosque later, I will have to freeze most of that curry, then make a batch of dough. So tomorrow's menu is BBQ chicken for lunch, and spaghetti for dinner. Would you care to join me? It's yummy!
