Whee?

I couldn't think of a title for this post, just so you know. Hence the lameness.

So, this weekend was pretty shitty. It was nice to have time off but we have no money and my husband's acting kinda funny lately, so no fun was had by anyone at all. We were supposed to have a golfing party at a local course, and even that got canceled. Pffft.

I did, however, get back into cooking. It's not my favorite activity by any means, but I have learned that the strangely-portioned outer world is not band friendly. Like, even a little bit. So it's a good idea to make your own stuff. I started out by whipping up a batch of cottage cheese pancakes, per Eggface's instructions. (Her web site is fanTAStic. Recipes galore and lots of "food porn." Hee hee.) They turned out pretty well, although my husband was not thrilled. I made a batch with banana pudding mix and strawberry preserves. Pretty good, although I could not find sugar-free versions of this stuff at Fresh and Easy.

On Sunday I made a spinach frittata, courtesy of the Knorr's spinach soup mix packet. I used six eggs instead of eight to conserve resources. It was pretty good, although not quite as fluffy as some frittatas I've had. I blame the two eggs' absence. When it was done it looked a bit like spinach souffle, and strangely, it seemed like the spinach and seasonings floated to the top, leaving an eggy bottom. Is that possible? No clue. When I got myself a slice of frittata I topped it with some jarred Prego sauce. It was tasty stuff.

I'm looking forward to more kitchen adventures. I think it makes more sense for a bandster to make most of their own food than to rely on pre-made stuff.
