All the critics(in this house) agree that I've managed to successfully pull off an improvised chickpea tikka masala tonight.

My work here is done.

Today's adventure will be making kimchi and figuring out what to do with my bok choy and shishito peppers.

I'm thinking of adding some of the Bok Choy to the kimchi... I've only got normal green cabbage, not Napa... so it's already bastardized-- not worried about that.

What should I do with the rest of the Bok Choy, though? My husband and I bought a bunch of heads, and since I forgot to cook him some to take to work this week, I have to figure out what to do with it. I don't particularly want to just stir fry it, but I suppose I could.

As for the shishitos... I'm not a big fan, myself... that's my husband. I gotta figure out something I can do that will hold til Friday at the very least.

FUCK. I also have a butternut squash and two acorn squash I need to figure out what to do with.

Help?!

Our son isn't (or at least wasn't) a big coucous fan. So it's been a few years since I've cooked with it. Cracked it out tonight, so we'll see tonight just how long you can store couscous before it gets stale.

Toast a corn tortilla and cover in shredded cheese. Pop in filling and enjoy! I have them for breakfast.

Attempted to make #risotto in the instapot for the first time. Not as creamy as the ladle at a time method but still tasted wonderful. Will definitely try again. #cooking #AdventuresInCooking #food #rice

Decided I wanted to look up what IHOP blintzes were made of and, surprisingly, literally nothing expensive. The "special cheese blend" is literally cottage cheese and cream cheese.

Naturally I CBA to make actual crepes, so I bought some flour tortillas.

Nuked them in the microwave, added a little sour cream on top, topped it off with strawberry preserves, and yep, basically the same. Definitely better with crepes, though. Very much a poor man's solution, but not bad. XD

#BagelAdventure time! Onion bagel, slightly burnt (forgot to press the Bagel button for the second round, whoopsie!) with modest cream cheese (for me, anyway), a sprinkling of cured sumac, three cranks each of Brittany gray salt, and a light drizzle of honey.

Verdict? Light and easy and everything it needs to be. Maybe a little lighter on the salt than I expected, but I think gray salt being so mild it contributed more to the cream cheese's flavor than its own.

Late night #BagelAdventure. Onion bagel, lightly toasted, lots of cream cheese, with onion powder, savory, and sage.

Verdict: not very exciting. I tried adding cloves and it feels like that could be the punch this needs if I could just find the right final ingredient, but paprika ain't it and I'm not going to waste more ingredients on this. Too dang tired, but too peckish to sleep yet. XD
