More chaos in the kitchen, only this chaos was completely unplanned. Let me paint the scene for you: Nine people are arriving for dinner at 6:30. Bill and Debra arrive at 5:30 and we are planning to cook dinner together. However, somehow, I was thinking that Bill and Debra were bringing the ingredient for 2 dishes from the cookbook and Debra clearly remembers me emailing her that I would pick up the ingredients (which, now that I think about it, I do recall emailing that). Long story short, we have not got any of the ingredients for the recipes we thought we were cooking!
So what do you do? As vegans you can't call Dominos! We began pulling things out of everywhere: the freezer, the frige, the pantry, the garden........what can we make? As we thumbed through the cookbook, we came across Farro Jambalaya pg 90. "Yipee," I said as my finger ran down through the list of ingredients. "We've got it all.". I began throwing things on the counter, left and right. Last item was the okra, the most essential item for jambalaya. I run to the freezer because I know I have 2 packages in the freezer. "Oh, no, who stole the okra?" I ripped the freezeer apart top to bottom...no okra.
"Bill, can you use brussel sprouts instead? He replied, "Not if you want to call it Jambalaya!"
Somehow, Bill and Debra whipped together the most incredible meal. Our company never would have known our dilema if Sam hadn't told them!!!!
Tomorrow, I will give you the recipe for Maine Jambalaya................
