As I was planning this meal it did not bother me at all that I was preparing a Mediterrean dish with a Chinese side dish. It does get under my skin now talking about it. I must have broken a sacred cooking rule. Anyways neither where exceptional. The noodles with all different kinds of mushrooms where...mushroomy. I also while preparing this dish, didn't cut off the stems so they basically turned to rubber and I couldn't even CUT them off when it was chow time. I am mushroom ignorant and I guess I just learned lesson #1. The steak with green olives would have been so much better if I hadn't dumped so much hot sauce in it. I mean, you can't enjoy any food with your snot running into it. I didn't really eat mine and my poor husband's face was red for about an hour. I guess the main lesson I am learning is that sometimes, sometimes, you don't have to measure. But sometimes you do. How will I learn when I can and cannot dump things in? Rachel Ray makes it seem all to easy with her "twice around the pan" nonsense.
Nevermind Rachel... I take it back. You are awesome.
