Iron Chef Aslin Way

Yesterday, Grace asked me what she should buy for dinner tonight. I said “Let’s do an Iron Chef night. You buy some mystery ingredients and I’ll use all my culinary skills to win the people’s acclaim forever.” And thus, a new tradition was born here at Castle Cross.

The mystery ingredients are: fresh green beans…red snapper…bay scallops…tilapia…polenta.

I’ll steam the beans with spices, cook the fishand scallops in a tomato/herb sauce and serve it over rice and fry up the polenta in some seasoned butter/oil mix. Grace will make the rice and possibly shout “Allez Cuisine!”…or not.

And then I’ll walk many a mile to make up for the extra caloric intake.

In other, non food news, I busted my ass and mixed up a concrete/soil mix to fill the first 10 large cans that I’ll be using as a foundation for my retaining wall. I’m thinking I’ll need about 50 cans for the first section of wall.

I STILL have two turns left to reply to in the Kingdom Building Game. Obviously, the whole “two turns a month thing was a mad fantasy of mine. I’m thinking one a month will be more like it.

And now…off to Kitchen Stadium!
