Nov 20

Maybe w 1 or 2 more items. While that was simple it was sooo tasty!

Lentil soup w lentils, onions, garlic, olive oil,?maybe 1 or 2 more ingredients. I'd make it nice, and thick.

Indian influenced: rice w curry powder, garlic, onions, chicken peas, ?sweet red peppers.

Good Ole 🩷 Guac w store bought tostados.

Funniest cooking phail.
A friend and I house sat for a few days, for friends that were my sister's friends, whom my sis had taken a break from doing the current house sitting.

They had an electric store. Neither of us had ever used one. We were cooking something Indian and curdled the milk.
Ouch!

Mixed Drinks and Chinese cooking, because I took classes in both at the local junior college. emulatorloo Nov 19 #1
