little things


I find that when little things get me down, I want to cook. The title of this blog has been my moto for a little while now and although I don't always have the time to post a message, I am constantly looking for new recipes or new ways to revamp an old one. Today, I had brunch with a few good friends and had a wonderful time however, I was in a weird mood. Don't know why? So, after coping a lift home, I tried to nap- didn't happen. All I kept thinking about was what I want to cook.

I recently bought three cook books and with in these three cookbooks there was bound to be something right? Nothing struck my fancy. I though I could mix and match- yup you guessed it, Portuguese cuisine with Turish cuisine, weird huh? I don't think so because these two types of cuisine are basically the fundamentals of my cravings and diet.

I've taken out a blade roast out of the freezer with some hot Portuguese sausage that I had left over from the chili I made last week. Portuguese sausage freezes well and can be used in all sorts of recipes.

My dinner for tonight:

Blade roast,
potatos,
tomatos (stewed)
garlic,
onions
eggplant
chorizo (portuguese sausage),
dried dill
bay leaf
a bit of olive oil

I'll put it in the oven on 350 degrees - in a oven roaster covered and roast it until the potatos are cooked though then remove the lid to brown them.

I'll give it a go and post a photo.
