my work partner has admitted that he's all over the place today.. and that i should just go ahead without him... hmmmm... ok... well... anyway i guess i'll start to be more proactive... to take the lead as he says... it's funny the sort of things that go on in your head... you can be someone everyone sees from the outside as being able to lead... to take charge... yet inside you fear the same things all people do. Rejection. Shame. Ridicule. I just think being in charge is being able to take all the negative and say "how am i going to just get this task done in spite of impending doom?"
Back to what matters... cooking:
Last night I tinkered around with my tomato sauce.
My Lamb Sausage with Tomato Sauce:
Fresh tomatoes
Tomato paste
Tomato puree
Basil (used dried basil)
Lots of garlic (if you're lazy i just go and chuck them in skin and all - i painstakingly remove them later)
Yellow onion
Fresh Chili
Chili powder
Corriander ground
Garam Masala
Salt
Chicken stock
Red wine
Sugar
lamb sausages at The Cold Storage
How: I sauteed the onions garlic chilis basil till soft. Then i chuck in the lamb sausages chopped up bite size. Then I add the tomatoes. Then the puree. Paste. Red wine. Salt. Stock. Sugar. Simmer and keep fine finding the right balance between sugar and salt.
