Oh pfft... I'm no angel. ;D But yes!! The hair and glasses are very similar. I love my hair. I used to hate it, but somewhere in the past five years, I realized natural curls are awesome.

I agree on the soups. I haven't had a canned soup in so long, but they are very lackluster in comparison.

I am indeed making stroganoff tonight. I was too lazy to bother with shopping yesterday. Now I have the sour cream and stuff. Can't wait! I'll do a side salad with it too.

I took pics of my cooking tonight, for no other reason than because! lol

Smoked pork belly and chorizo browning up nicely. Just look at the amount of fat I drained off it. [lol] I'll make use of that fat though, nice chorizoy smokey porky tasting!

Added about half the tin of garlic stuffed olives I posted about here

Half a cup of wholewheat orzo

Just a smidge over a cup of freshly boiled water.

Bring to the boil and simmer gently until the water is absorbed. Could have had a touch more water maybe. Wasn't dry, but didn't have the starchy saucy affect it could have done.

Added some spinach, is this going to be too much? :O

Phew, no, that's just right. :D

Bit of parmesan stirred through.

Oh heck, that's turned out to be a big bowl of food. xD

Was tasty! Didn't eat all of it, got enough to put in a wrap and toast up tomorrow. :D I have just half a cup of orzo left. [cry] I really want to get some more, but it's so expensive. D<

Looks delicious... Whenever I try to make fancy meals they just look like prison food...

That's not fancy, it's simple. Orzo's really easy to cook, I wish it was cheaper ._.

Not sure we have anything like that here... at least nothing that looks good...

I love cooking with orzo...

That dish looks FANTASTIC!! o_o

As does that leftover fat. Little dices of potato, fried to crispy perfection, topped with an egg or two... nom.

Thanks Chi! Yeah, I shall be making good use of that fat! The first thing may be scrambling some eggs in it later. I'll add some spinach to that to make it less unhealthy >< I love baby spinach, but once the bag's opened gotta use it pretty quick or it goes soggy and yuk, doesn't it. At least spinach's annoying habit of virtually disappearing when you cook it helps with that, lol.

Might be worth you investigating orzo, Poet. It's a simple thing to cook with. Could use bouillon or broth instead of water to simmer it in if you're just adding it to veggies or a meat that doesn't ooze fat and flavour like I used. >< What kind of food stores do you have in your area?

Pretty meal! I loved the photo play-by-play. :D

Jelly should make her own youtube cooking show [drool]

Thank you so much for the walk through! I love olives, but never really have a reason to buy them.

I like to get the big green garlic-stuffed ones like jelly has here, but I'll admit I've never cooked with those. I usually just stuff them into my face directly. [lol]

I know lots of dishes with black olives from my childhood, though!

I made an Alfredo sauce to go with pasta, seared chicken breast, and sauteed rainbow peppers. Was tasty. [drool] I took photos but the lighting sucked and made it look all gross.

What's a rainbow pepper? [shock]

I just grabbed the closest picture I could find. xD

They are sweeter than your typical green bell pepper, and quite yummy.

Awww, I was so excited for a minute there. I have been meaning to make bell pepper flowers with over easy eggs...

Mmm, that sounds good.

We're trying some type of Mexican corn recipe tonight. IF we can find Cotija cheese.

I made a school lunch sandwich xD Had to use a banana up which was way more ripe than I wanted to eat normally, so I buried it in stuff. [ninja]

Nutella, peanut butter and banana. Gross or delicious? Depends on how you feel at the time, I'd imagine xD

I'd say that would taste pretty good

I may not do the nutella, but the peanut butter and banana? Yum.

Grilled Elote Corn | Macheesmo

We had this as a side with some beef tonight. I thought it was good, as did my kiddo, though I'll alter it a bit next time for more flavor.

Coooooooooooorn. I don't care if we can't process it, that is a vegetable I'll never stop eating.

Yes. Oh my yes. My brother's lady fair makes the best COBS. There are spices and witchcraft involved, I wish to observe her methods.

Hehe... in agreement. XD

I found batteries for my camera! Yaaaaaaay. So gonna have to take a picture of the corn salad thing I just made. [drool]

I'm going to try a new recipe tonight for tikka masala. I figure I'll make rice to go with it. (:

I know what that means, but I can't place it right now. That's a chicken dish, isn't it?
