Today I made chicken schnitzels. I'm not a huge fan of chicken, but I sure love the buttery taste of a schnitzel. Please don't fry it in anything other than butter. I went to a chop house about a month ago, with some friends who have been there before, and I had a burger. I'm so glad I did. James ordered a schnitzel, and I had a piece and hated it. It was awful, and all I could taste was oil. I bet it was deep fried too. He didn't hate it, but said my home made schnitzels are far better. I think I have a long way to go with his taste buds, but at the same time, they have come a long way already.
I'm fairly limited when it comes to vegetables that James will actually eat. The list of produce he will eat is much shorter than the stuff he won't. I still eat stuff I love, either when he's not around, or sometimes I make us separate dinners. It's not a chore, because I love cooking.
The above mushrooms were panfried with a bit of butter, just so they wouldn't stick, and once they start cooking they release a lot of water. Fry them until the liquid is pretty much gone. I used a small amount of Provence type herbs, sometimes I make them plain, or with salty butter. The red lentils I made with cumin, coriander and a bay leaf. I'm so into bay leaf right now. I've always liked it, but I use it as much as possible lately.
