Food is a big social thing for my girlfriend and I. While some couples go out a lot or crash out in front of a TV, our big thing is experimenting with food. Lately it seems to be me that drives the food choices, though that is probably a temporary thing. But this week I let Fiona go mad. It may have something to do with me not having any evenings free.
So on Monday Fiona prepared 2 indian dishes, Potato Masala and a Spicy Aubergine side dish. They were served up with her specialty - home made Naan breads. We also threw in some poppadoms that we picked up in our Asian food store.
This isn't unusual for us, to make a meal entirely out of side dishes. Its a bit odd in retrospect, but it is how we operate. It was glorious.
This evening she made Hot & Sour Beef Soup with Lime. This was accompanied by some kind of mad bread things made up with leftover Naan dough and whatever cheeses were to hand. This was especially nice to come back to - a very hot and very flavourful soup - after my swimming lessons. The chlorine kills my sinuses, making it hard to taste anything. Spicy works a treat.
I am going to try and capture these culinary jamming sessions in a couple of posts. They were adapted from various recipes and infused with an unhealthy amount of junior foodie madness.
