I don’t often cook properly, so when I do I… Well, I get inordinately pleased with myself.
I’m house-sitting at the moment, which means I have some time on my hands and a decent kitchen at my disposal. Normally I can never be bothered to cook for one and, like old photographs, only bring out the culinary skills when I have guests. But if I’m going to be here for a week or more I need to get into good habits. I don’t want to wind up eating out of tins. At least not directly.
A lot of vegetables in the fridge that were not going to look appetising for much longer. (That cucumber in fact needed CPR.) So stir fry! I used to be notorious for these, but nowadays don’t even possess a wok. There’s one here though.
Ingredients: Carrots, cucumber, scallions, broad beans from the local organic farm, and Unnamed Fish. I’m not clear what it is because I bought a special-offer lot of mixed frozen fishes. Probably plaice.
Herbs: None, and certainly no spices. Just soy sauce and olive oil in the cooking.
Directions: Chop up, make hot and slap about.
Results: Nice.

“Nice.” Jesus. I’m never going to make it as a food critic, am I?
