Got off my butt and cooked some food today, even if I didn't really get any of the other things I'd wanted to done.
Lunch: sushi rice with assorted fresh vegetables. Not optimal, but decidedly edible. I think this plan for summer food may actually work out. I may consider getting the tools and ingredients to do maki, though, as something felt lacking eating them chirashi-style. Oh, and I need to obtain wasabi.
Post-Lunch: Still hungry, made a salad of carrots, OJ, lemon juice, cumin, and salt & pepper. Overdid it a little with the OJ and the pepper, but it had a nice flavor and was easy enough to make even without a food processor (although that would have been nice). Will definitely have to try it again.
Post-Dinner Dessert: Tried to make Bananas Foster again (haven't in almost a year) in preparation for possibly serving them to a crowd in the near future. They taste great, but I failed to achieve flambe. I think the recipe may just not scale down to one banana in that respect. Tomorrow I'll try making two and try to figure out something to do with what I can't eat...maybe I'll try freezing it or something.
