important food questions
1. Should I make pork chops with apples and onions again or chop up the pork chops and use them for fried rice? I only have two pork chops left and they are seriously tiny, I probably could have cooked all five of them last night and been fine, but I didn't.
2. How...um, how does one eat a peach? I got two peaches from this farmer's market that sets up at Tulane every Friday (new this year!), and I...have never eaten a peach before, so I'm not really sure what to do with them. Does one eat the fuzzy skin? Should I peel them and chop them up and make a mini cobbler or something out of them? Should I just eat them?
3. This one is not a question. Man, I feel like I am cooking more Asian food than ever before, probably because I am -- I have so much rice! Because we always have rice at home, and it's so nice, to just make rice once a week and refrigerate it and pull it out throughout the week to make sushi or add as a side dish or fried rice or something. And soy sauce! And nori! (Which really freaks people out, for some reason; I'm all, "It's just toasted seaweed!" and they go, "But why can't you just say toasted seaweed?") And I picked up curry mix, so now I can make curry! Although I still have to buy potatoes and some kind of meat and also salt&vinegar potato chips, but yay curry! (Japanese curry: totally my comfort food.) So I am not having as much Asian angst as I usually do.
4. I have two cucumbers, for reasons that we shall not discuss; what should I do with them? One will probably be used for sushi, what should I do with the other one?
5. Does anyone have a good cream pasta recipe? There are a couple of restaurants around campus that do very good pesto cream pasta with chicken recipes, and I want to do it on my own! But for some reason it's surprisingly hard to find recipes.
6. I really need to pick up a small casserole dish, so I can make macaroni and cheese. Man, I should have bought cheddar cheese at Walmart today.
