O.K. this is a copy from Cooking Skills thread that I will also share in our What's Cooking thread....Blond Style
I am a mood and cupboard cook....I know you are asking what that means? Well this Blond has to be in the mood to cook or you are going to end up with a can of soup or hot dogs....
My daughter, Melisa would ask what's for dinner and I'd say a concoction meaning you better like it and enjoy it as it may never happen again... I will look in the cupboard and pull out items that I like and combine them in any variety of ways and come up with edible dishes. When something turns out really good I try and make a mental note of the ingredients that were used in order to repeat that particular concoction.
One we like is cook enough cooked rice to fill a casserole dish, saute onions, green peppers, mushrooms, garlic with cut up smoked beef sausage, peel and cube small/med eggplant add jar of spaghetti sauce then season with salt, pepper, basil, oregano then mix together with the rice and put in casserole dish top with shredded cheese Italian blend then bake in oven at 350 for a half hour or until cheese has melted and browned a bit. Then eat.... yummm... Don't ask for measurements as the Blond concocts and does not measure....you just end up with a full casserole dish o.k. If you like more onion add more onion, etc....taste it before you bake it and if it tastes good then it will taste better baked....
There you go lesson 101 in mood, cupboard cooking, creating a concoction by Blond.....your welcome.
