First Foray into cooking after the Big Break...

OK - so I wasn't cooking - 

OK - Froggy told me point blank that he had no desire for me to either (a) cook, or (b) even plan to cook - that also included no DINNER out of the house for the two of us - 

no worries - I'm with him for the duration, whether he wants it or not ...

anyway. I was in cooking mode ... it's getting chilly here, and I thought that something tummy-warming might be acceptable - 

 so .. I thought that I had in hand all ingredients for a Paula Deen pork recipe (how wrong can one woman be, especially a woman who's been mistaken for Ms PD time and time again?)

and of course I did NOT!

so, found something else relatively appealing to cook for Froggy - whether he likes it or not, we'll soon find out!

this is something called a Piperade - a Basque dish, involving red peppers, 

onions,

 

and lotsa salt/pepper/spices - usually just a basic mix, but this one seems to include Pork (in this case, totally fat-ty pork as well, aka prosciutto)-

 

what do I know?  

I'm only a Nice Jewish Girl, which is what I've been for ages ...

oh yes - there's a coarsely chopped Orange in there as well ...

all best, and best regards, and etc ...
