Packing all day gave me the opportunity to watch A LOT of episodes of iron chef america. Jeffrey Steingarten's witty banter with Jeri Ryan aside (yes, that Jeri Ryan), my favorite part about watching all those episodes was letting the food inspire more items for my list. This is exciting.
13. chilis: what's the deal? serranos, jalapenos, poblano, anaheim, you name it. I currently rely fairly heavily on dried red pepper flakes and/or sriracha (rooster) sauce to kick up my dishes. Why not go straight to the source? I want to learn about the different kinds and find dishes that make each one shine.14. almonds: did you know they are not technically nuts? Yes, Alton Brown (later confirmed on wikipedia) informed me they are more like seeds (drupes!). They also happen to be the most deliciousnutdrupes out there, if you ask me. But I never cook with nuts (or drupes), aside from tossing them into salads. Dumb.15. hummus: so good, right? I'm gonna figure out how to make it.16. concoct most awesome salad dressing.17. figure out what meat(s) and other stuff go into the perfect meatball.
Just thought I'd share. I better get to bed for moving day tomorrow. And then I'd better get cooking before I add too many more items!
