Fridge cleaning
We're going to CA on Sunday so the fridge needs to be cleaned out - and I need to control myself and not buy any pretty new fruits and vegetables this week.
This morning, I started working on the mango. (I bought it after getting a short lesson on fruit enzymes. I also bought a pineapple, but that was easy to finish.)
Tonight, I made the Hot and Sour Soup from Jan 2006's Cook's Illustrated magazine with two pieces of chicken (I left out the tofu) and kale-onion pot stickers to go with them on the side. I'd made pork dumplings in the past, which of course earned rave reviews from my "21 Reasons I'm not a Vegetarian" hubby, but these were received reasonably well considering that the main ingredient was kale. The Hot and Sour Soup was great, especially since I usually don't order that in Chinese restaurants because it is frequently packed with MSG. The only time I've gotten and MSG reaction (and quite a bad one at that - the people I was with called Poison Control) was from Hot and Sour Soup, so having a certifiably MSG-free soup at home was nice.
