I work until 9:00 tonight, but then I'll be off to my friendly local grocer for the following items to create delicious feasts this week:
- olive oil (one recipe in, I've already run out -- anyone have any great cheap deals on EVOO that they've found?)
- dry white wine
- lots of chicken (I'm planning two different chicken recipes this week, get excited)
- 2 garlic cloves
- 8 flavorful red and green peppers, that are both sweet and hot
- 1 onion
- 12 fat green olives
- Amontillado sherry (this will require a separate run to the liquor store, unfortunately)
- 1 sweet red pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 very ripe medium tomatoes
- 1 small cucumber (have I mentioned yet that cukes are my all time favorite fruit?)
costco has some pretty great deals on extra virgin olive oil. the one under the kirkland brand has a nice fruity flavor for dressings, sauces, and dipping.
ReplyDeleteunsolicited advice: when cooking with heat (whether frying, sauteeing, or grilling), use plain olive oil or light olive oil. extra-virgin olive oil has a lower smoke point, and will burn when you cook with it, imparting a bitter, nasty taste. plus the light and refined olive oils are much cheaper and milder flavored.
Word. I picked some up last night but I'll need to double-check to see what I got. I was feeling a little manic by the time I got to the olive oil aisle, so it could be anything, really.
ReplyDeleteCucumbers are a fruit, not a vegetable?
ReplyDelete(sorry if this post appears twice. I had some trouble.)
Yup, anything with seeds inside (tomatoes, squash, etc.) is actually a fruit, at least, botanically speaking.
