Well, I embarked on another culinary adventure; this time, with a little Russian cuisine. Yes, folks, I tackled Beef Stroganoff.
Now, Beef Stroganoff is a relatively easy dish. If memory serves me right, I remember cooking it up as a mere lad, although cheating ever-so-slightly. Back in the day, I had used the typical ingredients (meat, sour cream, egg noodles, etc.) but used a sauce packet mix. It still tasted good and it was easy…but this time around, I wanted something a little more challenging. By challenging, I don’t mean “more time consuming,â€? just a little tougher than the Sandra Lee way.
So I looked to my friends at the Food Network and, of course, immediately to Rachael Ray’s take on this Russian classic. Rachael is my kind of woman because she knows what tastes good, yet doesn’t spend a heck of a lot of time making it. That’s perfect for me and my short attention span.
Again, my efforts turned out to be a hit and I will definitely be revisiting this recipe soon.
In other news, my dad and I went to GI Joe’s downtown. I’ve been looking to find myself a large duffle bag for when I tote my clothes, laundry, or a small child around. I think I accidentally chose a bag that is slightly larger than I need. I could fit myself in this bag. Well, not really…but it is huge. If anyone needs to sneak a midget, a really cute petite girl, or a smurf onto a commercial airliner, feel free to borrow my bag.
More adventures tomorrow. See you then.
