YUM

Last week was a week of delicious food.

Sunday: Asian stir-fry with Chinese Eggplant, rice and chicken. I don't like regular eggplant, but while I was in London, I went out for Taiwanese food and tried Chinese Eggplant and it was delicious. I tried to recreate it for Nathan. It didn't taste a thing like I had hoped it would, but it was still delicious. 

Monday: For the men's counterpart to Valentines day, I made Nathan steak. Now, I have never made steak before - on a grill or indoors. So, I went to the actual butcher shop and asked the guy working there what I should make. I believe it was rib eye (which according to Wikipedia is good for indoor cooking). I Googled how to cook steak indoors, marinated the meat while I was at work and then cooked it, made bread, roasted garlic, steamed broccoli, and whipped up some Cajun sweet potato fires. I also bought him beer. I sound like Susie-homemaker. It was quite tasty and actually quite easy! 

Wednesday: We made falafal! I was a bit uneasy about "deep frying" in a pan, but in the end it turned out great. We made a "Greek" salad to go with it and a sour cream and cucumber sauce (this is when a food processor would come in handy). We'll make a few changes next time, but all in all - success!
