Shopping List Futility
Here's a tale of the pointlessness of going to Key Foods on a Sunday afternoon: I had intended to make chimichurri, shrimp and asparagus (I know, but I had some great asparagus in early December from the grocery - sweet, asparagusy), a pistou for vegetable soup. I guess it's winter, and I was thinking spring. No basil, only the saddest-looking curly-leaf parsley, no shrimp, moldy asparagus. It was almost comical.
So I bought stuff for a chicken taco salad (Sunday night), kielbasa, a red bell pepper, tomatoes, canned beans, things to make some kind of dinner from. Last night I sauteed the red bell pepper and kielbasa with some onion, adding a little water and some red pepper flakes at the end to steam the pepper until it was soft, then mounded the mixture up in hollowed-out rolls, topped it with mozzarella and broiled it until the cheese started to brown. It was really good. I think adding the water was a good touch, made it juicy.
Maybe soup tonight? I have kielbasa, the white beans, some spinach in the freezer. I wanted to make homemade pasta last night, but I got home too late, and I'm kind of expecting the rest of the week to be the same way.
