ALERT! ALERT! MINI CHEF. ALONE. IN. KITCHEN. AHHHHHHHHH!!!! Oh my heavens it was absolute CHAOS!!! The kitchen was left a mess...but good news! The insanely named Greek dish actually turned out! I'm not saying I was a fan....but it worked! THe dish contained lamb....and it was weird. I think the smell was what got to me. It's not a smell you can describe though! You mixed the lamb with onions, all sorts of spices, and egg plant. That's right folks. EGG PLANT! WITH LAMB!! We're just trying all sorts of new food at the Thacker household! And then you throw that lovely mixture of stuff into a pot of noodles with white sauce, and mix it all together! Yum. The salad that went along with it was delicious! Fetta cheese, lemon, EVOO, and spinich! So simple, but so delicious!! I really liked it! And honestly, the lamb stuff wasn't that bad, it just was different! And sometimes in life you have to try something different!!
I learned a plethera (Is that how you spell that word??) of things in the kitchen tonight, while I was working all by myself! (Master Chef was at dinner...isn't that ironic!?) Rule number 1-Music is an essential when you are working by youself. Tonight's choice, ROCK MUSIC! It was great! I was dancing around while I chopped an egg plant! Life doesn't get any better! Rule number 2- Chopping onions is awful! Absolutely, dreadfully, AWFUL! I was bawling like a baby! And then I couldn't see the lamb, and I didn't know what was happening and I just FREAKED OUT! Then master chef comes home and says, "Well didn't you use the chopper??" WE HAVE A CHOPPER!?!? What is this!? And rule number 3- Mini chef just probably shouldn't be left alone in the kitchen. It's a hazard. Pans were everywhere, flour was on the floor, onions were just scattered on the counter, I cut myself on an onion, (Don't ask.) and it's just crazy! But I survived, and the house isn't burned down, so I would say a job well done! The dish by the way, got 2 stars.
So I had an interesting...realization today. I don't know if it's exactly one I should be discussing on a cooking blog, but I'm going to anyways! Adam Lambert was on Oprah today! And I've always been a fan of the guy! I mean...have you heard his voice!? Freaking amazing! He can sing higher than I can! But he brought up an interesting point! He said something like, "It kind of bothers me when people introduce me and they says, 'Oh here's the gay singer Adam Lambert.' I mean, they say I'm gay even before they say I'm a singer!" And that got me thinking, they don't introduce people by saying, "And here's John Travolta, the STRAIGHT actor!" No, people are not introduced like that! I think that's an interesting thing to think about! Just that people should not be judged by who they do and don't like, they're just people! And let them be who they are! But enough about Adam Lambert. (Although I highly recommend you listen to his CD. It rocks!)
