This Turkey Chow Mein is a quick and easy mid-week meal that takes about 30 minutes to put together.... and a life time to blog about.
It's been sitting in my to-do folder for about a month because I took sooooooooo many photographs of it that I LOVED - that I was having a hard time whittling it down to just two. After a while they all sort of looked the same and I had to chip away at them gradually until I was happy with my final choice... which I wasn't - so I had to go find all the deleted originals and start again.
Twice.
Had I known just how complicated and time consuming taking a photo of a recipe was going to get, I may never have started food blogging in the first place. However, I am now well and truly addicted and we're eating all sorts of weird and wonderfuls... that don't always get blogged.
For instance, last night I threw together a quick chicken shepherds pie type affair, with leeks and mushrooms and it tasted absolutely GAWJUS...
... but it looked like the cat had thrown up on our dinner plates. Not exactly food to share. I spent the entire meal thinking "How can I do this again but next time make it look like something other people might want to try to cook... and then eat?"
I'd had a glass of wine though and after thinking the above sentence... all I could think about was cheesecake.
This happens A LOT.
