I have stuff in my pantry. I have stuff in my fridge. I have stuff in my freezer. I swear, I will make sure all this stuff is consumed by May, even if it's the last thing I do. Normally if I have something I need to use up, I buy something else to go with it, but then I end up with leftovers of the thing I bought, and the cycle repeats. Therefore, my new plan is to take everything I own and throw it together in hopes that it is at least somewhat palatable.
In this dish are broken spaghetti noodles, beef flank, mozzarella cheese, milk, dijon mustard, pepper, and cilantro. I'm not too sure why I broke the noodles up; I guess I was bored of eating spaghetti. In the end, the concoction sort of turned into a weird macaroni and cheese-type thing. But that's the beauty of experimental cooking! Since the food doesn't purport to be any specific thing from the beginning, I can look back and name it in hindsight. It was pretty good, but it was a little heavy, probably because of the cheese. The cilantro really helped freshen it up though.
I love cilantro. It's got such a powerful and unique flavor. I know quite a few people who can't stand it for the same reason, and I can sort of see where they're coming from. If I didn't love cilantro so much, I'd probably hate it with a burning passion. It's got such a particular scent and taste, and unless you're really keen on it, it's hard to take. I know very few people who are neutral about cilantro; most people I've met either love it or hate it.
Anyway, more experimental cooking to come!
