It’s ok to not follow the rules
January 29, 2011
You are somewhere. On your way home after another day in the office, shopping with friends or discovering your city when you realise that there is dinner to sort out. But what to have? There is this recipe that you wanted to do last week but you think…no you KNOW that some ingredients are way past their shelf life. What to do? You remember that there was rocket….and lime…mhmm..the lime is still ok…rocket? Better get new one! Mango? You don’t remember it until you are at home anyway.
So there you are reading the recipe again and realising that you don’t have it all….and you toss it away. Sod it. You improvise. Go in the grey corners of your brain to improvise and go into the kitchen. Ready for the battle!
And this is how one of the yummiest salads came into my live.
The Mango was already on it’s way out so sod it…
Rocket in the bowl, Avocado was just holding it together but sill cut able, Mozzarella torn into bite size pieces.
And now the dressing…..lime of that one lemon, good olive oil and some herbs and WHISK it. And it makes CLICK! Why did I never whisk dressings before? With a proper whisker???? It’s divine…and there is some leftover chicken still about and the evening is saved!
So jump way out of your comfort zone for once and trust your instincts!
