I got in a really bad habit of going to the store everyday while I was consulting unemployed. So, this weekend I decided to get ingredients for 4 dinners. I have all the ingredients and have prepared two of those dinners. I have all these ingredients for the third dinner such as ancho chile powder, red jalapenos, and pork tenderloin. I can't find the recipe. I've looked through magazines, websites, etc. but can't come up with anything that looks familiar. Oh, I can wing it but how obnoxious is it when you finally try to get organized only to sabotage yourself?
Tip of the Day: On your weekly meal planner, write down the reference for the damn recipe.
Note: The April issue of Bon Appetit has a recipe for Five Spice Chicken which would've been lovely except it called for 2 Tablespoons of salt. When I read this, I gave pause. Sure seemed like a lot of salt. I read the recipe a couple of times, and it was Tablespoons, not teaspoons. So, I followed the recipe. Needless to say, I threw away 3 1/2 pounds of chicken. So, if you happen to make this recipe, I would go with the teaspoons.
