Jallie's Baked Beanz

Often, when I'm cooking for friends and left to my own ideas of what to fix, I'll choose some kind of Thai curry. Although a curry can be complex in preparation and flavors, I use canned pastes and stick to the ones with ingredients readily available at the local grocer. Other Thai dishes I make are simple as well, but always seem to require lots of tedious chopping or hand-shredding.

Originally, we had plans to dine at The Palm with Freddy, Lynn and William, but Lynn wanted to cook a meal at home, so we were invited to join them. A delicious meal it was:




Angel hair pasta with a sour cream sauce (mushrooms, dill, sour cream, a little lemon?), topped with chicken and asparagus on the side. There was also a Waldorf Salad (apples, celery and nuts in a mayo/sour cream dressing).

I really must step out of my little box and try to find more recipes like this. A great meal doesn't have to be made from complex ingredients or take hours to prep. John even tried some asparagus!



Thanks for cooking, Lynn!
