It seems to me that the hardest part of cooking is knowing where things are, or even if they exist ! The recipe yesterday called for a pinch of salt but I couldn't find the salt anywhere so eventually settled for a twist of Himalayan Rock Salt. Then I needed some almonds so I looked in all 4 possible places but couldn't see them. So here's the problem:
a/ do we actually have any almonds
b/ if we do, have a missed seeing them in the 4 possible places
c/ is there place number 5 that I haven't thought of
So eventually I gave up and used pine nuts which seemed to work out OK. When The Consort arrived home she was able to confirm that we didn't have any almonds and if we did they would have been in place 6 !
The meal of Lemon Fish Fingers (see picture above)seemed to be a success but looked nothing like the picture in the original recipe (click here to see it)
Second course was baked apple that I haven't eaten for years (an advantage of doing the cooking is that you eat the food you really like - no more butternut squash :-). The recipe said that the apple needed to be cored but the only corer I have slices the apples too but that actually seemed to work out quite well.
So a first day success, its all downhill from here........
