Cooking has been a little...well, FRUSTRATING for me here in India. Due to the lack of ingredients (or the difficulty in finding them even if they DO exist here in Mumbai) was my biggest challenge.
But- NO MORE! I kept a list while here in the spring, and hit the grocery stores this summer like a mad-woman! I can only imagine what the check-out people thought as I'd buy 25 boxes of cereal, 12 cans of olives, 15 boxes of Rice-A-Roni and every spice/herb you can imagine. I'll admit, I'm a creature of habit, and I like my own stuff. Plus, it makes home taste a little more more like HOME.
So far, we've enjoyed homemade pasta sauce, chicken divan, sloppy joes, chili, ranch-seasoned hamburgers, poppy seed chicken, beef stroganoff and soft tacos. Mostly pretty easy stuff, but oh so good when you are so far from home!
Tonight: pork tenderloin marinated in our all-time favorite: Mr. Yoshida's from Costco! The only question that remains: am I brave enough to actually use a box of Rice-A-Roni? :)
Buon Appetito!
