Tonight I made my first meal from the Nourishing Traditions cook book. I had to overcome some fear and anxiety, but I just thought of Julie and her lobsters, and I knew everything was going to be ok. The meat recipe was for Spicy Meatloaf. I wasn't exactly prepared for the recipe since I was waiting until today for a fish carcass from Raleys. The fish didn't come in, so there was no carcass for me, so I had to bring home a fish head instead. I've never cooked anything with eyes before. The fish sauce was supposed to ferment for 3 days, but since I wanted to have my meatloaf tonight, I boiled the fish head into a broth. I also added a half pound of beef hearts. I've also never cooked heart before. My vegetable recipe was for Butternut Squash Puree with Pecans. Since I don't have a hand blender, it's a bit chunkier than a puree, but it's delicious and creamy still. I have plenty of left overs to eat through the week and will also freeze some for later. The meatloaf was tasty and the puree was sweet and warming.
Three cheers for overcoming fear to make an amazing meal!
