Dinner Disaatsre

Yes, it's meant to say d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r but when my three typing fingers grew minds of their own and made a disaster of the word I thought it was appropriate so there it stays.
I put some veggies in to saute a little before turning them into fritatta (you know, like an omelette) then I went to get the eggs. Where are my eggs? did I use them and forget??
I can't go to the shops, I have no car and it's getting too late to walk. Bummer. I walked to the shops already today, looked at the eggs and decided I had enough to carry home already.

Oh well, option 2. It's a kind of mornay thing based on creamed corn and tinned salmon. What? no creamed corn? How has this happened? I've felt so organised. I have dinner disasters but not when I'm organised. Why do I feel organised when I'm obviously not? This is insane.

Option 3 is a plain mornay: butter, flour and milk, salmon and veggies. A moth flies out of the flour. How can that be when my moth trap is covered in moths? Well, the moth flew away, so it's not there anymore. On with the job.

Next time I want to make mornay remind me I don't like it. Please. And it's not because of the moth.

I have a fridge magnet that reads "dozens of people have eaten in my kitchen and gone on to lead normal lives". Seems worth mentioning.

  2. I have many cooking disasters such as you have described. I also think that in today's day and age, no one is organized anymore. But the Beat Goes on, and I'm sure you all had plenty to eat and it was good.

  3. No time to read your post because I'm off to feed the ferals. I'll read it when I come home. Just wanted to let you know I visited Amanda and left a comment. And there she is, right at the top of this page! She's good. I couldn't figure out half the stuff she's already discovered!

    Oh, and there's that woman Cecile too. God she gets around. Hope the Patriot's plane doesn't fly over Arkansas on the way back to Boston. That could be ugly!

    Love you all,
    Suzanne :)

    p.s. Can't find the dog, looked all over the park again yesterday. Wonder where he is?

    Today I saw the movie "3:10 to Yuma", starring Russell Crowe. The movie was awesome. A classic western set in Arizona but filmed in New Mexico. I thoroughly recommend it :)

  5. Step 4: This is the step I usually start with...order a pizza for delivery.

    Does that option exist in Australia? I don't mean to sound naive, but if pizza delivery is not an option, then please disregard this post. And please don't order your pizza with pineapples... there are no pineapples in Italy. I go on for hours about this...

  6. csi, i have to comment on your comment...of course there is pizza delivery here! We are a well advanced country just like the States :) And of course, who would order pizza with pineapples on it? It would be flaming painful to bite into all those spikes :)

  7. Kyles,
    I like the blessing. "It was really good"! No, seriously, it's a nice one.

  8. I love the way a cooking disaster can be changed into a literary event.

  10. attenuator:
    less a literary event than a paperback airport novel :)
