My friend Bridgid injured her foot a while back and called me tonight for a ride home from work, as she can't drive. We both had to be at the same place at 7pm, so we stopped at my apartment to grab a bite to eat on the way. Only when we walked in did I remember I'm in the process of moving, and don't have any furniture, hardly any utensils, only one pan, and basically no food. Obviously, being a hostess is not my day job! So, I offered Bridgid the only seat in the house - my exercise ball - (at least somebody's getting use out of that thing!) and proceeded to cook her a spontaneous meal with any ingredients I could dig up. Let's just say I am well on my way to being America's Next Top Chef (or, maybe Bridgid is just a wee bit too nice), but she actually asked for seconds of my sauteed Broccoli/Asparagus/Snap pea/almond/black bean concoction, topped off with Braag's Liquid Aminos (a product just as tasty as soy sauce with a fraction of the sodium, which I feel everyone should embrace).
Anyway, here is a picture, snapped on my cell phone, of Bridgid balancing on my exersize ball in the corner, eating my yummy masterpiece - with a spoon. (Just so you know, I did offer her the one fork in the house, but she apparently thought taking on broccoli with a spoon would make her cool..)
Bridgid, anyone who can give me a memory like this one is autimatically cool, spoon or not!
What is this aminos you speak of, and is it really as good as soy sauce?
ReplyDeleteActually, that sounds delicious. Aren't you glad that I turned you on to Bragg's Liquid Aminos? Best thing ever.
ReplyDeleteAt my last grocery store adventure I saw that Braggs Liquid Aminos and wondered if it was any good, what I'd use it for and even pondered purchasing it. But decided I should find out about its uses first. This is so ironic to find a friend my age uses it! So cool, Desi!
