I haven't been
cooking that much in the couple of last weeks, as we've had a weird
unusual stretch of business dinners and trips at work, so I've been
eating out quite a lot. It can be nice, but I also want to do my own
cooking, and all this socialising can be quite draining too. It still
feels like you are working, even when eating a meal with colleagues
or customers. One meal was really excellent though, cheese ravioli
with asparagus and sage butter sauce accompanied by a crispy dry
white wine. That I could eat at anytime again! But anyway I hope that
it will calm down now a bit after completing a few projects, and I
can do more in my own kitchen again.
I managed to make
this meal one night, and even though it's nothing spectacular, I
enjoyed it very much. Mexican rice is one of my absolute favourites.
It's easy, it's cheap and it's very tasty. I made the rice this time
with sweetcorn, lentils, red pepper, onion, garlic and chilli, and I
served it on a tortilla with lambs lettuce and vegan chipotle mayo. It was a very nice meal,
and I will be cooking more this sort of meals towards the summer.
Mexican food is also brialliant for a picnic, as the al fresco dining
season has now started even in Copenhagen.
Enjoy your Sunday!

Looks lovely. I enjoy some eating out for a change but miss my kitchen too if I am away too long. Love your roses too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's nice to eat out sometimes, but our own kitchens are surely the best places. :)
DeleteIt is nice to eat out, but i know what you mean with working lunch/evening meals - its always revolves around work and takes a lot more mental energy to be enthused. Your Mexican rice looks really tasty, i'd happily eat that without the tortilla! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know what you mean. Let's hope that I'll have less work occasions in the near future. I'm happy just spend my evenings at home.
DeleteYummy! What a pretty and satisfying meal that must be! Matt and I are trying to reign in our socializing as we've both felt rather drained by it than filled up by it lately. I hope you've been able to find some calm, quiet, home-time for yourself as of late.
