This past week, Ben and I moved into a new apartment and I haven’t had much time for cooking. Last Monday night, I cooked my last meal in my old apartment–Chinese chicken wings (recipe from Ben’s mom). Essentially, I marinated chicken wings and drummettes in soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, mustard, and brown sugar over night. Then I baked the wings at 450 degrees F for about 1 hour (flipping them over once during the cooking process).
On Friday night, after a busy week, I decided to try a new recipe. I had a can of cream of mushroom soup that I was looking to get rid of. And, I was interested in making “shepherd’s pie” when my friend Rachel said she made one back in October from ground lamb. I chose a recipe that utilized ground beef, because it’s easier to find. I purchased most of my ingredients at the supermarket (Dan’s) that is walking distance from my new apartment. Here is the recipe and a photo of the final product.
Also, recent TV shows I’ve watched included the newest episodes of the Big Bang Theory (CBS), 30 Rock (NBC), Modern Family (ABC), and Saturday Night Live (with Charles Barkley, NBC).
