Hi KYH,
I see! I guess my day will come,(to spend more time in my kitchen, my hearts desire) and I am pretty sure I want to follow in your footsteps
. How very neat!
I will most definitely check into purchasing a copy of "Where Flavor Was Born" sounds intriguing to say the least. Tamarind Sauce sounds fabulous, I love sauces. I do not get to do much plating, but I'll bet you have fun. I love being fancy in the kitchen and making the eye appeal as pleasant as possible.
I agree, I too love meatloaf, and especially when my fiance makes it..YUMMY! But last night I made it and he loved it, something about another person's cooking! My grand-daughter will eat meatloaf when she won't touch anything else. I guess that's why it's one of my comfort foods!
But thanks for setting me straight and of-course you are right! And just for the record I make all my dry beans from scratch, the only canned beans I buy are Garbanzo (which I use to make hummus)! And the occassional Van Camp's Baked Beans that I transform into REAL BAKED BEANS!
