Let me start out by saying yesterday's mission was not fun! I went to 3 stores looking for my ingredients for today's recipe. Well, 4 if you count Walmart twice. Three ingredients proved to be my biggest challenge: baby potatoes, flat-leaf parsley and pine nuts. Okay pine nuts I can kinda get but potatoes and parsley come on! Well my first mistake came by forgetting to look at the potatoes at Walmart which was the first store I ventured into, but I had it in my mind that Sam's would still have the bag of baby potatoes that they've been carrying for about 2 months-yeah right!! Walmart didn't have parsley (I actually have a plant but I didn't have enough for this recipe) so I figured okay after Sam's I'll run in Kroger. So, as you might have figured no potatoes at Sam's so into Kroger I go looking for all 3 ingredients-still! I did find the parsley, yeah me! Back to Walmart and guess what they actually had baby potatoes, even the exact amount which is 1 1/2 pounds, can you believe it? Well, I was thinking that I'd check the salvage market in Smiths Grove for the pine nuts, I buy alot of odd things there. As luck would have it they didn't have pine nuts either! So I thought maybe since they were just for finishing touches I could skip that! Now listen when I say this: Check your cupboard before shopping it will save you stress! Nut of all nuts I had them in my cupboard!!!! Whew!
If you are wondering about last nights dinner it was a very simple throw together: Pork tenderloin, cut into strips and cooked in 2 Tblsp EVOO
1 bag of frozen sugar snap stir fry veggies (thawed)
and some teriyaki sauce.
Very basic and I heated some leftover rice for David, and also I fixed a spaghetti squash b/c I didn't want rice. Which turned out to be very good with the teriyaki pork stir fry on top of it.
I will let you know how tonight's affair turns out!!
Happy Eating
