Whatchamacallit Stirfry
Older Daughter has begun a new cooking campaign.
To recap, Older Daughter pays “rent” by cooking for us. She has become an impressive and creative cook and has introduced us to many new and wonderful dishes. She’s also great at improvising, and she’s been doing this a lot lately. How?
Well, with our spending lockdown after my job loss, she is determined to use up a lot of random things we have in the chest freezer. She is almost to the point of closing her eyes, extracting something random from the freezer, and creating a meal around it.
Today she pulled out a pound of ground turkey. From this, she created what we called Whatchamacallit Stirfry, which consisted of:
• Veggies we already had in the fridge, including as sweet peppers, carrots, cabbage
• A few random potstickers from the freezer
• Angel-hair pasta
• Ingredients we keep on hand such as sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger
It. Was. Fabulous.
Older Daughter’s culinary creativity is saving us a fair bit of money as we adjust to this new lifestyle. It’s also underscores what items we hope to grow in the garden this year to supply ingredients for her next Whatchamacallit Stirfry.
