cooking

my own particular recipe for what might resemble babaganoush, though mine is a bit chunkier (at least before it's recooked) and has mushrooms... basically, it is slightly fried but mostly stewed onions, mushrooms, and eggplant... with some garlic... the combination of flavors is so yummy to me i don't need to season it, but i vary the seasonings to make it a variety of dishes much like one might vary the seasonings of humus... hot, salt, sweet, nutty, many different flavors make it different every time and it's low in calories as a side dish or a base for a protein... the only drawback is, to make it right, it takes hours... like five or six hours, cuz it stews and simmers and blends all the flavors and becomes a texture like babaganoush, though this time it has some larger chunks of eggplant and mushrooms to give it the perception of more substance (cuz my goal to reduce calories is at the forefront of my cooking these days)...

and then i unpacked the ninja thing , the master prep... my aversion to cleaning things that prepare foods was overlooked after i used the slicer thing to slice the onions and i decided i would hope the dishwasher doesn't hurt the appliances after i used them... and i made tuna salad with the ninja cuz i like tuna salad that is more finely blended (not pureed) thank can be made by hand chopping... and soon there will be yummy low calorie meals in the fridge for the next few days...

how are you enjoying your day (hoping you are, but if not, hope it gets better soon :)
