The recipe I have to show you here today is a French recipe. The French and English share a somewhat tenuous love/hate relationship I think . . . we've come to love their cafe culture and flock over the channel in hordes to partake of their lovely foods and cheeses . . . and yet at the same time . . . we're not quite ready to embrace them as a people . . . nor are they ready to embrace us I don't think. It is possible perhaps they will always see us a little bit as intruders . . . and more than a little bit crazy. They think we work too hard . . . we eat too fast . . . we don't know how to relax . . . our cheeses are boring ( NOT ) and the only thing we know how to cook properly is Roast Beef. We think they have a tendency to be a bit laisser faire about life . . . they take too long to eat . . . they eat far too much garlic, and they are missing cheddar in their cheese shops (only the best cheese in the world, lol) . . . not to mention, they ...
Spam was not something which we ever had when I was growing up. I am not sure why that was. We never had tinned meat of any kind except for deviled ham, which my mother sometimes bought to make our sandwiches for lunch with. It came in a tin which was placed inside a paper wrapper decorated with little red devils. I am not sure, but I think the devils somehow made it taste better! The one and only tme I can remember ever enountering Spam was at school. A boy in my class wanted to trade his Spam sandwiches with my peanut butter ones. I wouldn't trade because I did not know what Spam was and I was a bit afraid of trying something that I had never had before. Besides, I really liked peanut butter. I was very lucky. I grew up in a country that was untouched by war in my lifetime and I had a father with a really good job. People over here in the UK have not been that lucky. Having been through two World ...
Today's recipe is the type of recipe everyone should have tucked up their sleeve. It comes in very handy when you are not ready yet to go shopping and you find yourself with a few bits in the refrigerator which are still good to use, but not enough that a person could make a meal of them on their own. I will often find myself with a piece of a head of broccoli, an onion, perhaps a carrot or two, a couple pieces of bell pepper, a tomato, etc. You know what I mean. There is nothing wrong with them but for the fact that there are not huge amounts of them. Its happened to us all, but that doesn't mean that any of these tasty vegetables should go to waste, or that you need dash to the store until you really want to. You can make a delicious, quick and easy stir fry with them by adding a bit of this and a bit of that and a lot of ingenuity! One thing I love about stir fries is you don't need a lot of anything really, not even the protein part . ...
