Cooking Adventures

So, Johnny and I have decided we really like cooking. We already knew that we really liked eating and watching cooking shows, but we've discovered that it's even more fun to eat the food if you were the ones to cook it too! So, our new game is to go out to eat, and then try to learn how to make those dishes. We found this incredible Indian place here in Mira Mesa called Punjabi Tandoori and decided we needed to learn how to make Chicken Tikka Masala, because it's SO yummy. Here's how it turned out.


We enjoyed this so much that we invited our friends Doug and Kristy to come over and enjoy it with us.


So then we went out for Thai food...and I was reminded of just how much I love curry. Living in Mira Mesa, we have a ton of big Asian markets around us, but I for one was a bit intimidated going into one, because I wasn't sure what I'd find. We visited a large Asian market up the street from us and it was amazing! So many different things, you totally felt like you'd stepped into another country! We bought curry paste, fish sauce, garlic, etc. Then we went home and cooked it: Thai red curry with red peppers and green beans....it was delectable!


And here's what it looked like just before we devoured it.
