Today's culinary experiment:
(Preface: often I'll do a recipe, but not have all (or any) of the right ingredients. So I follow the directions anyway using what I got. Hence tonight's dinner)
First, I sauteed some chopped up carrots, celery, and cucumber in 1 tablespoon of canola oil. (Note to self - leave out the cucumber next time - it got sour tasting at the end). I let these cook for a while (10 minutes or so). Then I added a few tablespoons of vegetable broth, and tossed in some sliced cherry tomatos. More sauteeing. In the meantime, I put 1 cup of vegetable broth and 1 sliced up Yukon gold potato into a pot and simmered. Added the vegetable mixture to the pot. Covered and simmered until the potatoes were cooked all the way through. Spooned into a bowl and topped with a (small) dollop of low-fat sour cream and sprinkled with toasted pine nuts. Served with a diet cola. Well, you can drink whatever the fuck you want, but I drank a diet cola.
Tonight: I watch the Grammys and laugh/be annoyed.
