Yesterday, I asked my husband what he wanted to eat because I had no inspiration whatsoever. Asking whether he wanted, chicken, beef, pork or fish. "Pork" he replied "But can you please make something that is not bland' !! he says.
Now, for those of you that know me, I don't have 'bland' in my vocabulary. So, to say I was surprised at this statement is putting it mildly ! He was quite insistent that I don't cook anything bland.
I have lived with this man for the past 8 years and cooked for basically 99.99% of the time. In all that time, I may have cooked something more spicier than most but bland does not make it into my kitchen.
So, I cooked a Pork Curry, Dhall (lentils) and a stir fry Silverbeet. Just for good measure I made the Pork Curry extra spicy and added extra chilli pieces into the Silverbeet. It was definitely far from bland !
I waited for the verdict at the dinner table, "Excellent!" he said. Phew thank God for small mercies. Imagine, if I had to learn a whole new way of cooking at my age !
