Dinner and Love Stories

 
We've been cooking from Dinner: A Love Story by Jenny Rosenstrach with plans for more. Last night we made spicy shrimp with yogurt. I made coriander and cilantro flatbread while Mark worked on the shrimp. We liked lots of lime in the yogurt condiment. We liked the flatbread a lot. On Sunday, we made the family meatballs and toasted nice bread to put them on. I adore how they put their favorites on the kitchen cupboard interior. Ah. What would you decide on if you were doing the same? We tried her childhood memory of chicken and then peanut butter noodles. I have ingredients for this and this. Definately the most I've cooked out of one book. Mark comes home and starts cooking whatever I've planned or put out to make. the evening wedding of the knife and fork.

Meatballs can be quite good. I’ve never tried them on toasted bread.

“What would you decide on if you were doing the same?”

I would place them on angel hair pasta, adding marinara sauce.

I have never heard of peanut butter noodles; it's angel hair for me! I might like lemon pepper chicken, because I do like lemon. The bread I eat is mostly flat. I had never considered eating yogurt to dull spicy food; a resourceful idea. (Or fewer spices could be added to the shrimp.) All the cookery reminds me of the old sea cook, with one leg, a pet parrot, plying his trade on the Spanish Main. He could cook some fine hush puppies.
