Finally a morning at “home” — to catch up on things, do laundry, take photos of the lake view, and cook broccoli for lunch (I’ve been craving vegetables).
We did spend time with friends in the afternoon but the evening has once again been a blessedly quiet time at “home” — finishing laundry and having more broccoli for dinner.
Unusual due to the fact that tonight I cooked something from a recipe (which is an extremely rare occurrence around our house).
Granted, it wasn’t a hard or complicated recipe by any means. But, as so often happens with recipes that I see online, it looked really good, so….
I left the browser tab open to “remind” myself to do something with it. Then (after about two months) I clicked on the “easier” version, which was beginning to seem a little more likely. So now, two tabs remained open for several more weeks.
At that point I was determined to close those tabs, so I finally cut and pasted the easy recipe into my Google Doc titled, “Recipes to make (now or someday).” And after another month I bought the ingredients, which was only about three weeks ago!
And what was this recipe that captured my imagination and wouldn’t let go? Corn pudding, related to “spoonbread,” which I had looked up after seeing it mentioned in a book.
This particular recipe is a 4-ingredient, 4-minute Corn Pudding to which I added broccoli (everything is better with broccoli in my book). Both Ramesha and I give it a thumbs up.
