The last weekend I was home alot more since it was a holiday so I did more cooking. I pretty much hate going to the store, just a pain even though there is one very close, so we got creative.

One night I had potatoes, cabbage and onion. I found an Irish recipe for Colcannan that also used bacon. Very tasty, like mashed potatoes with fried up bacon, cabbage and onion. Not health food!

Then last night my son wanted teriyaki meatballs, we had meatballs and I was too hungry to stop at the store again. So we made up a teriyaki sauce to cook frozen meatballs in, made rice and then stir fried the 3 carrots and a few mushrooms since it was only 2 of us.

I am kinda impressed with our scratch cooking,

    'Peasant food' like the potatoes, cabbage and bacon is always the best; I love it; cabbage and bacon always go well together. Hearty and tasty; I'd've added some grated cheese over it too! Yeh, not health food!!!

    A favourite of mine is a form of ratatouille; totally vegetarian too; you fry some potato slices, stick em in a roasting dish. And do the same with aubergine and courgette; in layers. You then fry a chopped up pepper, bung in a load of tomatoes (canned or fresh) and cook it off; pour the contents over the potatoes, aubergine, and courgettes. Top with cheese. It'll sit happily like this for ages.

    You then put it in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes; serve with a light salad and garlic bread; scrummy and warming; real comfort food for a cold day.

    Cover a chopped leak and sliced potato (possibly sauteed garlic or onion) the size of the pot in milk and simmer until cooked almost or fully. You can add an herb like rosemary or whatever which you might remove afterwords depending what it is. Then wash hands when cool or strain out and layer the potatoes in layers with potato/leak, salt and pepper (possibly nutmeg), and cheese. Then cover with the milk. Bake at 375 until bubbly brown on top. Goes good with ham.

    Your name is mountains, so if it is the rocky mountains there is some slight chance I can bring you dinner at some point, those other mountains are right out!

    I love to cook. A lot. Sometimes I just cook and cook and I can't finish everything I cooked, so i just share whatever I cook with anyone who wants to eat.

    Everything comes from my own pocket, but I don't mind; I cook for the joy of cooking.

    I cook mainly Malaysian and Chinese food. I love soups where I dump all the ingredients in and top it up with water or stock and let it simmer for hours. Sometimes I put the pot on the stove on my electric cooker and set it on very low heat in the morning, and forget about it totally till late afternoon or evening.

    I think it's the buttered noodles that got me. Chicken marsala, too, but it's been eons since I ate buttered noodles! :D
