so as i mentioned in the previous post, i decided to make stroganoff for dinner last night. i got all of the ingredients and whatnot through gritted teeth *and only gritted teeth cuz i had to brave walmart at 7pm in el paso, where every place remains crazy busy* and started dinner.
i should've known that it wouldn't be good with turkey. but so far, whenever i have replaced hamburger with turkey, it's been a decent, if not good, meal. last night was the *exception* to the rule. ben, one of my best friends, stopped over to have dinner with me and typically he always has seconds of whatever it is that i am cooking. last night, not so much. i could tell he was having a hard time eating firsts. it was just so . . . bland.
chef chad, my brother, told me i should've added salt and pepper. there is something wrong when you add more salt (and pepper) than one should consume in a month's period to one dish and it's *still* bland. it's especially bad since i'm a saltaholic and am a firm believer that salt makes just about any dish good.
i was supposed to bring a plate of food in for daddy today for lunch. i didn't. i couldn't bear to serve him that mess. and unfortunately, he brought nothing for lunch himself. i do have to go into town today to fedex some paperwork, so while i'm there, i'll pick both him and i up something to eat.
and i can assure you, there will be *no turkey* in it at all.

Everything I cook ends up bland. We eat out a lot.
