Yes! I love cooking. I like experimenting with different culture's cuisine. It keeps my diet spicy. (Pun totally intended!) A couple days ago I stumbled onto a recipe for Cilantro Lime Rice. This is one of my favorite side dishes I used to order from Qdoba. By learning this recipe, I learned about the secret of toasting the rice before cooking it as normal. Apparently, this is something that is common within Latino cooking, and I was 49 years old to discover it!
I attempted making it, and it's is stellar! I also used these ingredients on some hot pot potatoes (cilantro and lime) since I have like five pounds of limes and a huge bag of cilantro to use up quickly. It worked well. The lime juice also killed some of the intense heat from the Hot Italian Sausage I had on hand.
(Pro tip: You can immediately, and I mean instantly, neutralize the Godzilla breath from eating hot peppers by drinking orange juice! It cools the flames on contact.)
I like to use orange juice whenever I'm making curry or anything else that's typically overly spicy. I enjoy the flavors of the foods, not really the heat.
Learning how to cook has saved me money. My fiancee used to live on eating take out. When I took over the cooking chore and started buying the groceries, I streamlined our expenditures by buying staples in bulk, and using Meal Planning so that we don't get stuck in a rut of eating the same thing every week. In fact, I recently wrote a lengthy post on Reddit about this very topic.
