First Failure: Revenge of the Leeks

REVENGE OF THE LEEKS

So, I haven't been posting as much as I should on this for one simple reason:  I started Grad School and haven't had as much time to cook.  Some of my Irv and Shelly's has been siphoned off to friends in recent weeks due to my sheer lack of time to cook.

I have to admit, though.  This is not the first time I have given away food from Irv and Shelley's.

I know.  I have already destroyed my New Year's resolution.  It happened a few months ago when I was confronted by these roots of Welsh fame:

  Leeks.  Even the name sounds revolting.  Leeeeeeeeeeks.

So I did what any coward would do and let them rot until I had to throw them away.

 .

...I know

But last week Irv and Shelly's karma'd me right in the face with the return... and the revenge... of the leeks.

I was bitter and in denial.  Why would anyone even grow these stupid things?  So rather than do any cultural research or really try, I chopped them up with some onions and garlic and threw them in a pan with some cooked rice.  On top of this bed of fried-rice weirdness I pan fried a tuna steak that had been marinating in white wine and thyme.  It didn't look particularly appetizing, but there was no other food in my house.

So I ate it....

Lesson learned.  Leeks 1 Nicki 0
