Me, bored? No way. Not so. I mean, come on, I could at least be doing some fly a** shoe shopping. Or selling my mom’s beautiful jewelry.
But it really was the case on Thursday. I guess it was ONLY because I was determined to sit my behind still and not work for, uhm, 2 hours…my week has been a roller coaster of sorts-proposals, menu designs for events and preparation for a huge event I’ll tell you about after the jump. But, I was hungry, and didn’t want to make an elaborate meal.
And since I’m a serious believer in not throwing anything, nada, zilch, away, I broke out the pan and figured out something to eat. I’m trying to cut back on my sushi outings, as well, so that option was slowly scrapped.
Let’s see, fish is something I’m growing to love more and more and hopefully working into taking the place of red meat. I had some fresh tilapia. Fresh tarragon that had actually dried up nicely in its original package and red potatoes, were also just kind of laying around. A and B came over for a moment so I invited them to stay for din din. I hate eating alone as my regular readers know…I’m entirely too sassy to have dinner by myself. If anything, I’ll post my availability on Facebook (friend me if your on); that sure lands me a lot of inquiries and self-invites…
Wait, I digress. In about 30 minutes, mi comida was ready and A & B couldn’t believe it (neither one of them cook-so yes they were amazed). It took me no time to make this…Potatoes in the pressure cooker, BAM, 15 minutes and they’re done! Love that. Fish, seasoned for 20 minutes, grilled for 8-10 and BAM, it was ready. I’m quite pleased at the result considering that when I’m starving to the point of devouring even the most of sinful foods, the last thing I want to do is be creative. I go for what I know. Cuban food. Latin food.
I’m bookmarking my own recipe here for next time I’m super bored. I urge you to try when you’re having one of those fantastic lazy nights and don’t have much of a brain to concoct delish entrees…
