justben cooked our first meal together in the house since I moved in. Now that I am out of work, we will be cooking at home much more and not eating out at every meal as we have been thus far.
We had a fun time grocery shopping and delighting in ideas of things we could make. Then tonight we excitedly made our first meal here.
First we grabbed some saffron rice and started it cooking with some red pepper flakes. Then we opened our new olive oil, libated some to Hestia and the Agathos Daimon, and then pour some into a skillet over high heat. We then added some dehydrated onions and garlic to the oil. We took some chicken and sliced it up in long strips (leaving a small bit to burn for the goods -- see last post). We then added the chicken to the oil and added a small bit of cayenne to the chicken as well. We sauteed it up and then transferred to a plate once finished.
After cooking the chicken, we added some thickly sliced portabello mushrooms to the same skillet we used for the chicken, added a bit of butter, and then sauteed them with the butter and leftover flavorings from the oil.
About the time that the mushrooms finished, the saffron rice was finished as well. We added the chicken to the skillet with the mushrooms to reheat and then poured the mixture over the rice.
It ended up very, very yummy!
After that we burned our sacrifice of leftover chicken to the Gods. Now we have a smokey house. ;)
