I have a nearly infallible cookbook for the slow cooker. I say nearly because up until this morning, I had yet to make something in it that I did not at least like, even if I didn't adore it. That all changed today.
I made a lamb dish with a peanut sauce.
Granted, I had to make some very small substitutions. I didn't have molasses, so I used honey and I made jasmine rice instead of brown rice. Not big changes.
I cooked and prepped all the ingredients in the evening, and set the slow cooker to cook all night, so that when I awoke, voila! there would be delicious food to take to work. I was running low on time, so I didn't get to taste it, but I packaged it all up, and took it along.
Lunch time...and I have to say that the two flavors don't really go together. At least for me. Someone else may adore this recipe. But, not me. I actually had to throw it out, because I couldn't finish it, which I hate to do. Wasting food is just terrible. I try to avoid it as much as I can. So many people do without, that I am thankful that I don't have to. But, this recipe just didn't turn out well.
Luckily a girl had brought in cookies for the day, so I had an extra banana and 2 cookies for lunch. Mmmm. Yummy, even if not the healthiest of lunches.
