So, I took care of one of my standing problems and cooked a meal for the first time in a few weeks. I would like to use 'being sick' as an excuse for not being in the kitchen, but laziness is more at fault, to tell the truth. I hate when I find myself being so lazy that I'm not even doing things that I enjoy doing. I'm going to do my best to make sure that doesn't happen anymore. Tonight was the last time in a while I will have dinner with my mother as she is moving out of town, so I went with her request for tilapia and mashed potatoes. Once I got that served up it dawned on me that the dish was void any leafy greens, which are always a nice touch. So I pulled out some salad that I had as a last minute addition. My mother had a bottle of white zinfandel on hand, so we joined the dish with a glass. There is supposedly a specific wine that compliments certain elements in a dish, but I'm not familiar with these pairings. Maybe I can help you with that at some time in the future, but for the moment I've too many things on hand and not enough time, as I would have loved to have been asleep an hour ago.
