Inspired by Masterchef Australia, I am going to try a new recipe once a week. Not one of theirs necessarily, but I need to get out of the doldrums of my hum drum, same old same old dishes.
This week's was a Masterchef one, their beef stroganoff, which is a cross between goulash and stroganoff. They use Paprika for one thing, something I never use in my recipe, Brandy (hello! I blew my newly formulated weekly budget on that) tomato paste, something I stopped putting in Stroganoff over 20 years ago, and creme fraiche rather than sour cream. Well I saw no difference between how the sour cream blended into the mix and how the creme fraiche did, therefore I will not be using that more expensive version in future. In fact I will not be making that version again. It was not bad, just different but I prefer my old recipe Anyone interested can find it on the Masterchef Australia website. I had fun making it.
Next dish is going to be a fritatta. I'll probably find that on line,as I do most of my recipes these days.
The earth has settled on its axis today. The new PM is forming her new Cabinet, Spain(my favourite team) is through to the round of 16 in the World Cup and England meet the old enemy Germany in their next match. Ah well more sleepless nights and groggy days ahead.
Three months old and Skye is working us. She knows it's bed time when we start fastening her into her sleeping bag and tells us off. She does not hide her feelings. Her chatterbox tendencies continue, yeah!!! (She's got to have something of mine to inherit)She loves songs and tries to sing herself. Lovely girl.
