Vacuum Cleaner on Steroids

Five enormous helpings of taco salad will go a long way toward clearing out a fridge. Taco salad is bulky, and everything that goes in it is refrigerated.

I know what this means.

PALAK PANEER.

Palak paneer is yummy

My lessons learned:
1. Spattering oil can reach farther than I can.
2. Yes the spinach should be chopped more finely.
3. These spices can drive Rob out of the house.

It is fabulous. I am eating a bowl of it and have already burned the roof of my mouth. Next time Rob's not home for a few hours I'll make it again. With permission I'll post the recipe I was given.

Ka-ching

Today I also bought two spatulas (spatulae? *grin*) and a food processor. Rob says I need to get the hang of this "saving money" thing. I think he's right -- I probably could have found a used food processor, if I'd spent some time at it, though time is kinda the problem -- but I also suspect that eating my own cooking with so little waste thus far may already have gone a long way toward purchasing me this thing. It *was* nearly fifty percent off when all the discounts came in. It's one of these, and OMG no, I did not pay THAT for it.

One of my spa-tu-lee is already noticeably yellow. To give you an idea, it started out black. Heh heh heh. The food processor has yet to be unveiled, 'cause I already had the spinach and onion chopped for the palak paneer.

(Also today: bean soup. Onion roast going in tonight. I will be busy scrubbing a crock in 3... 2... 1...)
