Don't Let the Sound of Your Own Meal Drive You Crazy



Quick and Easy tonight. I'm taking it easy. With a little help from the frozen food aisle I can still make something fun without re-inventing the wheel. Why stress?

Edamame soybeans to me taste like a soft version of the roasted sunflower seed. Salt brings out the flavor and I could eat them all day. These were frozen and out of the pod. Having never cooked them myself before, I put some hot chili oil, salt and soy on these little pearls. They would have been fine with just salt. Mmmmm or maybe a little butter! In restaurants I don't remember anything more. The subtle flavor could be left alone.
I served alongside pan seared BBQ pork chops and hey those look like tater tots! Giterdone! Hee Haw!!

By the way, speaking of help - Being a sucker for new packaging and anything that looks like beer, I tried the new Budweiser Smoked BBQ Sauce. Damn good...a cut above in flavor, although its much better to make your own, always, of course. This has some high fructose sugar and corn syrup but its hard to find one that doesn't. But it does have tamarind, beer, vinegar, mustard, etc, all the usual suspects. It really does taste better than others I've tried.

Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home?
