It is interesting to watch what these cooks do when they open a basket with some really unusual combinations of food and are told that they must make a main course, dessert or appetizer using all of them. Some funny results! So tell us about the best of your unplanned meals.

She'd have had a long day at work and not had time to hit the grocery store. I'd come home exhausted and plop myself onto her couch too tired to even pull a cork from a bottle of wine. I'd inquire about any plans we might have for nourishment for the evening. She'd reply that we'd HAVE to go out because, "the refrigerator and cupboards are empty." Being too tired to leave the house again and in need of a transitional diversion from the work day back to sanity anyways, I would challenge myself to somehow come-up with an entire meal using whatever I could find in the kitchen. This became our ritual for a year or more. Some of the most memorable meals we ever had. The challenge of creating those meals apparently gave me a chance to use the parts of my mind that had NOT been on overdrive all day and it really cleared my head and got me away from the pressures of the work day. Never would have thought that cooking unplanned and unprepared would actually turn-into relaxation...Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131045777276466737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6716575788727832662.post-38604511482676676362009-11-08T16:19:18.858-08:002009-11-08T16:19:18.858-08:00mmmmmmmm!!!
