I was thinking the same thing! I've been doing a lot of cooking for being on vacation, but it's been a lot of fun. Tonight I made red beans and rice.
1 medium chopped onion 2 celery stalks chopped 1 bell pepper chopped 6 cloves of garlic diced 2 16 oz cans red beans, drained (short cut, usually I start with dried beans) 1 cup chicken stock 1/2 cup diced ham 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp dried thyme 2 bay leaves 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning salt and black pepper to taste saute all the chopped veggies except the garlic over medium heat until onions are translucent (about 7 minutes). Then throw in the garlic and saute for another minute and a half. add the beans, ham, chicken stock, and spices and cook on low heat until the chicken stock has been absorbed (about 30-45 minutes). Serve over rice. add tabasco at the table. |

Tonight I'm making Sri Lankan tempered dahl to have on steamed basmati rice.
2 cups of red lentils 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil (Do not use olive oil as it will overpower the flavour of the dish) 3 or 4 dried red chillies 1/2 teaspoon of dried mustard seeds 1/2 teaspoon of fenegreek seeds 10 curry leaves 1 onion diced finely 1 teaspoon of turmeric 1/2 teaspoon of dried coriander powder 1 teaspoon of cumin powder 1 teaspoons of powdered chicken stock powder (substitute vegetable stock for vegetarian option) 2 cups of water 1/2 can of coconut milk Place lentils in bowl and cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 30 minutes Throw curry leaves, fenegreek and mustard seeds in hot oil and wait for mustard seeds to start popping (about 40 seconds). Reduce heat . Add onion, garlic, salt and saute. Add the rest of the ingredients and the drained lentils and stir. Put on low heat, allow to simmer, stirring occasionally. If the flavour is not rich enough add a little more salt or powdered chicken stock to taste. Remove from heat and serve.

@oblivion: I copied that immediately. I've been looking for something like that for ages, from a cook I trust.
Husband is away for at least two months, so I get to cook ALL the things*! *That he doesn't like. |

You can substitute something else. It was in the spice cabinet here at my in-laws. I would probably have either used a creole seasoning at home, or gone heavier on some of the other spices and added a bit of paprika.

Lobster is, of course, delicious, and an excellent choice. My husband cooks all the lobster in our house, because he is the best lobster cook in the province and possibly in the country. There's a very fine line between too much and too little salt, and an absolute moment when lobster is done, neither undercooked nor overcooked. He knows it.
Also, I always save a little lobster meat to add in scrambled eggs the next morning. |

:Homer drool:
I only cook something once or twice a week. The rest of the time I just make a sandwich or something equally as easy. Tonight, I went with a simple stand-by: Oven-baked halibut. In a baking dish, place a fresh, un-breaded, filet of halibut (or cod, or any favorite fish), skin-side down, on top of sweet onion slices (I use Walla Walla sweets, a Washington State native crop) and apple slices. Sprinkle with dill weed, salt and pepper, dab with butter, top with more onion and apple slices, and add enough Chardonnay or Chablis to cover bottom slices. Cover and bake in 350 F / 175 C until fish JUST flakes all the way through. Serve with the cooked onion/apple slices and a bit of the drizzled liquid. If you want to get fancy, you can thicken the drippings a bit and use over oven-roasted potatoes or something (I like to roast them coated with olive oil or butter, rosemary, salt and pepper). I don't time-cook it, but sometimes I'll use a meat thermometer. Mostly I just keep checking it; over-cooked fish is yuk. If the fish isn't fresh, rinse it well and soak in lemon juice and water for a few minutes before cooking. You can also pre-sauté the onion and apple slices in butter to soften them a little if you have thin fillets. I like nice thick white-fish fillets. For the vegetable, I sautéed asparagus in olive oil, fresh minced garlic and a wee bit of lemon, salt and pepper. I like my garlic a bit on the raw side, so it's the last thing I add, just long enough to heat, but not brown.

ericv00, I'm in Skagit Co. now. I geographically "round up" my location for convenience. Former Phinney Ridge/Freemont resident, though. Seattle is a great city.
