The thing about being, as my supervisor so eloquently put it, "an obsessive little perfectionist" is that it's very hard to abandon plans once you've made them. So, after my marathon hair effort tonight, after getting home at 8:30pm, obviously I had to go through with the dish I'd planned for tonight. As I've been getting a a bit anxious about whether or not Thai is ruining me for other foods I went back to 1080 (currently on sale at Abbey's Bookshop btw: www.abbeys.com.au) and made a manchegan ratatouille. I think that La Mancha is a good region generally, judging only by the ratatouille and the cheese (Manchego). I won't pretend to have finished Don Quixote. This recipe consisted of chorizo, ham, green capsicum, onions, zucchini and tomatoes. It was reasonably fast and simple and had a full, peppery flavour from the chorizo augmented by the sweetness of the capsicums and tomatoes. Good stuff. The other photo is last night, it was a repeat dish (stir-fried minced pork with choy sum instead of the elusive water mimosa) but I don't think it fell into the photo period of time initially. I think, perhaps, that on this occasion I used my perfectionist paranoia powers for good and not evil. That's something...I guess.
