The Canadian Cooks!

Posted on June 29, 2008February 3, 2017 by emiglia

Contrary to popular belief, the Canadian can cook. He makes this dish he calls a “stir fry,” which is really just ground beef and vegetables cooked together in a skillet and served over pasta. I dared him to make something he’d never made before, but he still came home with a pack of ground beef and a tray of pre-sliced mushrooms. *Sigh* oh well. It was tasty anyway.

Here, the Canadian very professionally measures out about half the beef.

And plops it in the skillet.

Then he looks for a spatula in the sea of dirty dishes. I mean… my kitchen is always pristine! What are you talking about…

Then he told me to go away.

To be fair, I was probably being annoying.

A better shot of the fruits of his labors. I really hate that expression.

This is actually a really tasty and easy dish. My bet wasn’t because I don’t like it, just because I wanted him to try something different. But the combination of ground beef, tomatoes, red peppers, mushrooms and Manchego cheese is delicious. I like to have it with some hot sauce, but hey, that’s just me.

Bombi the dog, waiting for some to fall.

    Cute puppie waiting so patiently for some food. Funny, my husband also makes me go away while he’s cooking!

    Men are silly… all I want to do is watch, and take pictures, and make fun. Oh… maybe that’s why…
