Am I missing something? :) Maybe cultural differences?mOOmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440274434662150925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1146669681725614122006-05-03T11:21:00.000-04:002006-05-03T11:21:00.000-04:00That dish doesn't sound too bad.

I am not a weekly grocery shopper so I have to get creative a lot with sundried tomatoes, dried mushrooms, lentils, canned & frozen veggies, pasta and buillion cubes. It's worth it to keep a pantry with a few staples and soup. Campbell's cream based soups make good sauces on top of rice and some sauteed chicken if you're inclined to dine that way. I love food, but who's got the time or the money to make expensive gourmet meals at home all the time?mapgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141234159609900257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1146615292479871082006-05-02T20:14:00.000-04:002006-05-02T20:14:00.000-04:00Sounds like great dinner.
