domesticism

i never imagined my culinary adventures would be so interesting after my cooking frequency catapulted after i got married over a year ago.  cooking a lot can get boring, so it’s fun and necessary (for me at least) to conduct many experiments to remedy the boredom of the typical stir-fry dish.  this all sounds fancy and foodie, so i will burst that bubble of expectation with my neon green soup invention i just came up with for dinner tonight:

blended spinach and chicken soup! with chicken chunks...hm. chunks sounds unappetizing.

the soup was delicious though!  way better and more edible than i thought it would turn out.  i thought the soup was going to be way too fibrous because of the giant amount of spinach, but the blender did a nice job and it wasn’t THAT much spinach i guess.  still a lot.  my fear of fibrous food comes from last week’s questionable experiment.  spinach quiche…way way WAY too much spinach.  one slice was enough to make your tongue feel like you rubbed sandpaper all over it.  good taste, dreadful texture after the 1st slice .

and the desert on the menu this past week was jello.  lots of it because i have no concept of realistic proportions for two average weight people.  here is another high quality photo worthy of this impressive blog, shot from an iphone3, and linked from my twitter, of course:

coffee jello with condensed milk

the more sugar, the better it is by me!
