Today was a little bit of a tense day - some small fights with my better half over petty things - and a long drawn dinner which ended up our discussions of why I was so unhappy about Dubai.
My cooking is always tied to my emotions so - we decided to make the trip to the 'big' supermarket store to stock up on some items that was so expensive in our regular store (pine nuts, walnuts, etc) as I wanted to try making few raw food recipes this week. The pesto tasted so much better than any other bottled pesto, and I dont think I'll ever buy a canned one again The pesto was fine but I wasnt so happy with the garlic shrimp pasta I made - I ended up having to sprinkle rock salt and pepper to make it taste good.
It's a bit like my experience in Dubai - I made the garlic simmer in Olive oil for almost 20mins, cooked it with finely chopped green onions and red onions - and I thought cooking it longer would just get the oil soaked in the flavors as I cooked it - but it didnt, it was so-so. It was at best - OK. Some recipes are better than others, and some just taste better than others as well - pretty much like living in a city.
The pastry stuffed with blue cheese and caramelized pears were good (bought cheap filo pastry) and stuffed it with that and walnuts- it was really yummy - this recipe I got inspiration from my yogini friend Shane. Atleast this was a success!
