F O O D (N O M S)

So, I know I said I wouldn't post for a while but....I lied. I was mad yesterday...because of a lot of things. But I'm a little better today. There's something on my mind. Wanna guess what? FOOD! Glorious glorious food. I'm so hungry right now :-s

***5 minutes later***

I just had some oatmeal so I'm a little better :-) Ok, I was browsing google for some savory tart recipes when I ran across this blog. Completely by accident! But it had the very same recipe I was dreaming about; Caremelized Onion Tart! Does that not look/sound amazing! I want to go to there right now *om nom nom*

I'm thinking of using my Greek yogurt instead of the ricotta cheese though. It's been sitting in my fridge for about two weeks now and I want to use it for something. I also have some pie crust that's been in my freezer since Thanksgiving 2010...I wonder if it's still good (and if so, could I use it instead of puff pastry for this tart? hmmm...). It seems the more I try to plan to cook, the more food I find that I've already purchased, or that my mother has cooked. So I never end up cooking. I have a lot of ideas in my head and I'd like to try them out, but I don't want so much food to pile up. I bought some drumsticks the other day so I could try an oven fried chicken recipe, but yesterday, a friend made some BBQ chicken legs and of course I had to take that home. I took 4 legs home. The pack that I bought had 5. So I'm having chicken all this week and next week. I also have some crispy hot wings in the freezer and tortilla crusted tilapia. I'm thinking I'm set for the next month or so. I think I might be a compulsive grocery shopper or something. I bought whole grain pasta as well. I don't completely get the concept of pairing meals. Like would I pair a meat entree with pasta? Is that too high in calories? Would I add a salad to that? I'm Ghanaian so basically, I eat rice and stew (a fried tomato sauce, usually spicy...not like deep fried, but it starts by sauteing onions until caramelized and you build with the tomatoes and basically any protein or whatever you want after that. Traditional Ghanaian dish) almost everyday. Sometimes with peas (which I love) and sometimes without. So I'm trying "white people food" to see if I can cultivate a more structured diet.
