Regardless, I have been thinking about blog structure, and by that I mean a set schedule of some kind, which would make the refracted bits of me that are blog entries a bit more manageable. I have no intentions of developing a blog that will make me money or become my day job or anything like that, but I would like it to serve some purpose other being my own pretend world. I will continue to give this thought.
I read the wonderful postings at Nourished Kitchen. Today she posted this recipe for preserved lemon and mint allioli. What the what? This sounds amazing, never mind that I have no idea what an allioli is, let alone a preserved lemon. Turns out it is a sauce. Of some kind. Probably. (See the lovely photo from her website?)
I can't tell you how many times in the last couple of years I have bemoaned my inability to make sauces. It usually sounds something like, "Man, I wish I was French!", and usually has something to do with the fact that it is my turn to make dinner again and all I have is rice/lentils/quinoa and I can't think of anything to go with them and then I panic just make soup. So. One of my goals for my future life is to learn how to make sauces from scratch. Drew likes sauces to a kind of ridiculous degree. It has spawned fights. Really, I should make him learn how to make sauces. That will be the next step.
So! I need your help! I have a list of three or maybe four sauces that I think I can tackle right off the bat, but would love, love some slightly more exotic ones. I'm not certain about that allioli just yet. We'll tackle the issue with preserved lemons first and then maybe we will see.
List:
Mayo
Peanut sauce
Salsa varieties
yellow curry
What else?
