Nouvelle cuisine as it’s supposed to be, probably would not include hot dogs! I did try another new twist on chicken tikka masala today, so I got the “nouvelle” part right, at least.

To be precise, it’s another version of “Chinese hot dogs“. Yesterday at the salvage store, I found sweet & sour sauce. It’s not the same brand as last time, but that’s OK.

It also has a different flavor, but that’s OK, too. It seems sweeter than the brand I had last time. Maybe that’s all to the good, as this time I put in curry powder; and the sauce doesn’t clash with it.

I needed to use the whole jar of sauce, and had a good time scraping out the residue with a finger and licking it up. Then came the sad part — discarding the jar. My upbringing screams at me to keep it; practicality says NO, I don’t have room to keep any more jars on my shelves!

Naturally today wasn’t all kitchen work. I had to ride to the supermarket to get the yogurt; and after I was home from the store I went out on the road bike. At 10 am the fog hadn’t entirely burned off; and the sun was also dodging in and out of clouds. I didn’t know when the weather might turn bad; and the wind seemed to be getting stronger. I went sissy and turned back early.

I got home; ate some lunch; and then launched into preparing my new invention. Part of the fun of nouvelle cuisine is inventing names for your new creations. “Kung Bo Hot Dogs”, maybe?
