Veal, PF Changs, and Easy Pizzas
I bet that title caught your attention! Smile. First, let me begin by stating that Gourmet Girl (let's call her GG for short) has been "working," but her mother has some difficulty finding time to update the blog.
GG tried veal cutlets at HEB and being the meat lover that she is decided that we should try to cook these at home. Okay, for those of you that know me, you can attest that I am not much of a meat eater; suffice to say, I do not know how to cook meat either. Alas, I decide, for my meat loving daughter, that I can and should learn to be creative when cooking meat. (I mean, I can cook some ground beef and mix up chicken with some C.O.C soup!)
SOOOO, we purchase the meat the next day, b/c after going through the "way to long" lines, I decide I do not want to go back through them to purchase a few slabs of meat that day!! We follow the recipe for the marinade that was included with the sample at HEB; GG takes great delight in analyzing and adding the ingredients all the while tasting and smelling all the spices: rosemary, Italian seasoning, garlic, etc...GG approves once cooked....needless to say we are trying them again tomorrow night!
Our lovely friend, Kelly, took us to PF Chang's last weekend, and GG attempted honey chicken, some beef dish with scallions, lettuce wraps, and, oh yes, let's not forget, sticky rice with soy. She approved of it all and especially enjoyed her sticky rice and the company of our good friend, Kelly and Kelly's other Texas friend.
Easy Pizzas....Ms. Sarah, our other dear friend, gave GG her very own cook book. GG was all over that; she tabbed all of her favorites. On Monday, Columbus Day, we purchased ingredients to attempt the making of Easy Pizzas. We had oodles of fun using some fresh ingredients to concoct these yummy creations. After Margaret-Jane ate hers, she decided she had put too much garlic on hers. I could not taste too much, but her ever so keen palate thought we went overboard in the garlic department.
There you have it a two week period in the life of GG and her mama.
