Yesterday it came down to either cleaning house or going food shopping and making a fabulous dinner. You can guess which one I wanted to do, but necessity won out. So, rather than order pizza, I did a little improvising with what I had and made a very loose interpretation of Tom Yam with carrots and celery instead of mushrooms and scallions, tomato paste in place of tomatoes and parsley for cilantro. Luckily I had the building blocks: lemongrass, ginza, kaffir lime leaves, thai chilis, fish sauce and frozen shrimp in my larder and thusly, was able to pull off a reasonable approximation, right it time for Dexter’s season finale.
