Today I cooked. 2nd time in the week – chilli con carne when I arrived back on Monday, and marinara wine-o mix pasta.<\/p>\n
Chilli con carne was easy to prepare: 500g shredded beef, 1 can tomatoes, 1 can kidney beans, a couple of onions (chopped), and add the Maggi chill con carne mix ;-) Goes well with garlic bread, wholemeal bread, and so forth.<\/p>\n
Marina wine-o mix pasta is a lot more interesting. Chopped onions and garlic, wine, assorted marinara mix (i.e. go get crabsticks, prawns, squid, mussels, etc.) all in a pot. Add more wine (white) liberally. Make sure the flame is at medium. Toss in some lemon rinds and lemon juice. Add a dash of parsley and basil. Cook pasta separately, and when al dente, toss into the big wok containing marinara wine-o mix. Stir properly. Add a little more wine. Stir.<\/p>\n
Tastes delicious. YP, my housemate, decided to try some sauce because she dislikes seafood in general. “Tastes like wine,” she said. Oops. Minor problem is that with ~750g of pasta, and ~1kg of marinara mix, I’ve got two large container loads of this stuff.<\/p>\n
Yes, I’m cooking to de-stress. And to sure as heck consider it payback for the horrendous amounts of hotel food I ate while in the US of A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
