Having realised that cooking isn't as tedious as it once was... and with the discovery of videojug.com, I'm beginning to enjoy cooking. This is the week of total domesticity folks. I have my entire menu planned out for the week. I'm neither buying lunch at the office nor dining out. My menu consists of Pasta in arrabiata sauce, yellow Dal (which turned out fantastically well!), chicken curry, Fried rice with bacon, Eggs with mozarella cheese (a delicacy i'm trying to duplicate entirely by intuition coz i loved what was served to me in Berlin).
Why the sudden spell of domesitcity. For saving money really. Iceland trip is coming up and I want to have a bit of money to spend. Plus I've got a trip planned at the end of April as well. Could do with some dough. You know how expensive it is to eat outside in Sweden even if it's at your company cafeteria at a subsidized rate.
But, here is how it really started. On a particularly lazy day when i didnt want to go grocery shopping, I opened the larder to see what I had to make dinner with. And discovered that I had loads of things that I haven't yet opened. Wheat flour, corn flour, wheat noodles, yellow lentils, lots of rice.. So.. now.. i'm looking up recipes to use all of these. Looks like I can survive for 2 whole weeks with the past months' of stupid spending!!
There's a strange thing about clearing out stuff. Makes you feel good.
