Recipe #11 / Pgs 90-91 / Sole with Almonds

First off, I am not very fond of fish.
Whenever there's a choice, I will go for something other then it.

But through the years, I've made ma actually like salmon and I get cravings sometimes for gish sticks ... which are smothered in batter.

This recipe though has made me look at fish as something with a different potential now. It was delicious and tasty! I will definitely try others.

I accompanied it with curried rice. The tastes didn't really compliment each others so next time I'll try another side.

Recipe #10 / Pgs 114-115 / Fried Rice

This was a last minute idea and I used stuff I had in my kitchen. And no bean sroupts, because I don't like those. Blech!
I used a can of mushromm and it's confirmed : canned mushroom although they can save in a pinch taste horrible. Much rather have fresh ones. I also used some leftover from fried chicken I had at lunch.

This makes for a nice quick supper with anything you like thrown in. Great for leftovers!

Recipe #9 / Pgs 216-217 / Creamy Lemon Desert

This looks a little pale because I couldn't find my food colouring. But it tasted mighty fine!
The picture makes it look like shortening. O_O

Recipe #8 / Pg 204 / Strawberry Smoothie

That was pretty delicious. I used frozen strawberries, so it made it all thick and chunky. YUM!

Recipe #7 / Pgs 184-185 / Roasted Vegetables

Pork and Vegetable Stir-Fry with Peanut Satai Sauce on Egg Noodles

Not part of the challenge (although there is a stir-fry coming up later on) but I was tempted at the store by a jar of peanut satai cooking sauce. It's got a zingy kick to it. I quite like it.

Here's tonight's feast!

I put roasted cashews and sesame seeds on top. Yum!

Recipe #6 / Pgs 28-29 / Beef with Pea Pods

Now that I have a regular job, I felt less intimadated at buying a choicier grade of meat. I will usually go for the cheapest or on sale. But I was determined to follow the recipe and get the piece it called for.

What a difference GOOD meat makes! So tasty!

Also, I substituted half the water for the rice with beef broth. Nice and tasty too.
A definite success!
