Studying....

I've been studying for my RN exam...which is in 4 days...so I haven't been cooking very much. Mostly a lot of quick throw-togethers or meals made from leftovers.

I made a Trinidad style stew chicken the other day. Oil, onions and garlic fried up in a big pot, throw the chicken in and fry it up a little, throw in some soya sauce (just a little for colour), some black pepper and water enough to cover the chicken. Let it cook down on a medium heat until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and there is enough water left for a little gravy. May have to add more water during cooking if it dries out. Serve on rice with side of lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers!

I made that from watching my parents cook at home! My fiance said that he was happy I could make a variety of things. I take that as a compliment!

lol...so that lasted through 2 dinners :P Leftovers are awesome!

Tonight I cooked fast-fry steaks that I found at the grocery ($1.86 for 2), marinated with salt, pepper and a tiny bit of butter. Fried up on the pan and served with boiled potatoes and corn on the cob. In essence, it was quite a yummy dinner.

Tomorrow (Today-Saturday), I am going to Carassauga with my best friend and our sisters. Gonna be a girls day. Best part is that Carassauga (www.carassauga.ca) is held in Mississauga every year and there are about 80 pavillions at local community centres and arenas. Each pavillion hosts a different country from around the world where you can sample the foods, enjoy the culture and music, and meet all of the interesting vendors who try to sell you ornaments and items from their respected countries. It's so much fun but to be perfectly honest, Shawna and I have been going every year for the food!!

We have been looking forward to it for ages!! It's kinda our thing :P

I'm sure I'll have lots to tell!! Until next time, have a yummy tummy!!
