Tonight was another night of scrounging the fridge for one lonely little eater, but I pulled some really great stuff together for a quick pasta dinner: a few fresh mozzarella balls; basil leaves and fennel fronds and our first tie-dye tomato from the garden; and a lemon that needed to be used. Sounds like the makings of a really tasty dish, right?
WRONG.
Total fail tonight. I mean, like—if I was a beginner cook, I would have stopped cooking—forever. Dropped the wooden spoon and ran, never to return. I think the only thing I got right was the pasta texture. The rest of it? God-awful.
I don't know what went wrong. The flavors totally, TOTALLY didn't blend. I kept thinking maybe the cheese was turning, but I had tasted it before I used it, and it seemed fine. Maybe putting lemon juice in a cast iron pan was wrong? Anyone know? Alton Brown?
I ate a salad to make myself feel better, but it didn't work. Even the last of the wine from the other night didn't work; it was off, too.
Sigh.
I'm going to bed.
