I really feel like cooking right now. I really, really want to cook, almost anything, as long as it is delicious, with both meat and vegetables and if it's a bit of a challenge. I feel like I need to be challenged in the kitchen, but it's hard when you don't have that much money to do with, if you know what I mean.
Yesterday, I was supposed to make some baked cod with mozzarella/garlic cream cheese and spinach, mashed potatoes with garlic and blanched broccoli and mushrooms. Buuuut, something went wrong and it ended up with Peter buying can-tomato soup. He mixed mushrooms, chicken, chili, ginger and macaroni in it, so it actually tasted really good, but I just really wanted to make something like the other thing above, because I thought it'd might be delicious and I'm not usually cooking fish. But we planned making it in the weekend instead and eat the rest of the soup tonight.
The past hour I've been looking for recipes for Lancashire Hotpot. About a month ago I saw this program, I think it was on the Travel channel, with a woman travelling around in England to taste different typical English dishes. So, she went to Lancashire and got - wait for it - Lancashire Hotpot, and it just sounded so delicious - lamb, onions, potatoes, carrots, thyme, rosemary, chicken stock (to make it not-too-lamb-ish), all in a pot and in the oven. It's a workingclass dish they made in Northern England in the middle 19th century. The wife made it the early morning before she went to work, so it could stand there the whole day and simmer, and then it would be ready when the whole family got home, starving (not literally... I think). But yeah, I saw this and fell in love with it and I just HAD to try and make it. I haven't done it yet, as you could might guess, but I'm planning on trying it next month, 'cause it's also more of an autumn-dish.
I was thinking to make a post whenever I make the Lancashire Hotpot, with pictures and recipe, of course, so you can enjoy it as well if you'd like that.
Well, I could make this blog into a food-blog. Some of it, you know, just when I have a recipe of something delicious, if I make anything "new" with no recipe but remember it and post it here, stuff like that. Of course I won't make this entire blog about food (it's also a bit too late for that), but, as said, just when I've got something new and delicious, why not share it?
