I do not know if I have just gotten out of the flow of cooking or what, but my last three meals have been bad. Well let me rephrase that, last nights was not bad per se, but it is never good when you get a tummy ache from dinner. So I count that as a failure.
I attempted Koshry. It is an Egyptian dish that consists of pasta, rice and lentils. On top of that you put a tomato based spicy sauce. This is also one of my favorite dishes. I have eaten it so many times. I thought it would be easy enough to make. I was right about that. It is easy to make, but it is hard to make it correctly.
Apperently I did it wrong. The lentils were WAY over cooked, the rice was also. The pasta was perfect. Problem began when I chose to follow the recipe that I had to the t and not use my own common sense. Once I made everything and mixed it together it was a greenish blob of food. Now mix that with tomato and it is just gross looking. It tasted ok, all the flavors were there, not quite right but there.
Now wait an hour and let the stomach start rebelling against the atrocity that was just put in it. All I had left was a VERY upset tummy. Poor Rougeh was up half the night because his stomach was rebelling.
I think I should give up because every day is getting a little worse in the food department, but I have to finish. I need to keep making new dishes. Ughhh.
