Okay, I know I am a dork for saying this but I am so happy about receiving my new Le Crueset mini wok from my friend Christy as a gift tonight. I decided about a month ago that my life, starting from this 36-year old girl-point on, would be all about five essential things: food, writing, art, friends, family....and that all other things were peripheral pars for the course. Ever since then I have experienced magical things, old friends appearing out of nowhere, new ones coming into the fold, the synergies of passion projects aligning together....you get the picture, what you pay attention to happens! It does!
Anyways, I met a fellow foodie recently who I haven't really ever hung out with in person, but whom I have admired from afar for her dedication to the community we live in, leadership walking of the walk, and a bunch of other fabulous things that make her an amazing female...tonight, she gave me a gift after we threw a party together for the women in the world who die daily of heart problems, and it was my first mini single-lady's Le Crueset wok, plus a pair of hot red spectacles to wear while chopping the onions, horseradish, leeks, and ginger sure to fill the small beige, perfectly concave, round pot soon enough. It's a lusciously gradient red on the bottom, which of course is the color of my soul.....I am going to have to throw a kitchen sink party with myself tomorrow just so I can cook something with whatever the heck is in the house, I am sure I can come up with something spicy, starting out cold and frigid, sweated to oblivion and shaken around on the stove....
I am thinking right away there will be some thai lemongrass ground chicken lettuce cups; then maybe some jicama, mint and ground turkey radicchio tacos; and then perhaps some fried Indian cheese with firm peas.
This is the stuff that makes life important: no less, no more...
let me know what time you want me to stop by for those lemongrass chicken cups...
