What I Ate Last Week
I had a really good cooking week. Monday night was off because Sarah had school stuff.
Tuesday night I made a Thai-inspired noodle soup which was awesome. I sauteed the tails from the shrimp with some oil, garlic, yellow pepper and onion and then removed the tails before adding a couple cups of vegetable broth and several tablespoons of lime juice. In the meantime I was cooking some rice noodles. About a minute before the soup was ready to serve I threw in the uncooked shrimp which quickly turned from blue to pink. When the noodles were done I rinsed them and put equal portions in soup bowls. I then ladled the soup over the noodles and added some cilantro, grated carrot and mint chutney.
Wednesday was simple. Chicken Legs and veggies. The trick was soaking the thawed chicken legs in a brine for a few hours which killed the rubbery character of the meat. I grilled the legs and tossed them with hot sauce and butter to approximate buffalo wings. On the side we had carrots, yellow pepper and pear tomatoes from the garden.
Thursday was pretty easy, too. I sauteed yellow pepper, onion, baby zuchinni and carrot with olive oil and balsamic vingegar and tossed it with some cooked pasta and then finished it with some basil from the garden and some chopped green onion.
Friday I succumbed to the demon and walked down the hill to Burger King.

I'd like to see this post presented in a point-counterpoint style like the Onion does. It could be "What I ate last week" by Steve and then the counterpoint would be "What he really ate last week" by Steve's Toilet.

No toilet humour on this blog, Thomas. Anyway, my toilet is entirely loyal to me and would not speak against me.
