ellyssianDespite the fact that Deb can make a baked chicken dish interesting*, she pretty much doesn't consider herself a cook, or capable of cooking, or able to do anything beyond burning boiling water.
It seems that it's in waves that I wind up doing the cooking, and she's been wanting me to do some more.
I did some egg rolls last weekend, and they came out great. Tomorrow night, the New and Improved Recipe will be attempted, and, if it comes out perfect, posted. They're much easier to make then I had expected, although spatter is an issue. I have a spatter guard, but it's for a 12-14" skillet/pan, and not the 6" one I was using to keep the oil quantity both low and deep ~ unfortunately, the oil clung to the parts of the spatter guard outside the pan, dripped, and made nearly as much of a mess as if it had been allowed to splatter everywhere.
Tonight there's some fresh fish ~ cod ~ and it's marinating now in a lemon tarragon sauce. I was thinking about broiling it, but now I'm leaning towards baking it, so I can do the orzo ~ with a light cheesy sauce ~ at the same time.
Maybe a recipe later?
* There aren't very many people capable of that, in my judgement. Not only that, but she can make a fried chicken that is also very good. Me, I have my rosemary chicken and BBQ chicken, and that exhausts my recipes. =)
