~:[CH9 - Day 112]:~ Mixing It Up

I normally only make this dish during the holidays or special events, but I decided with the ingredients I had that I could make an adapted version of it. I had picked jalapenos instead of a fresh one with no chili or habanero, plus I used steak instead of chicken, leaving me with lomo saltado. I fried my own potatoes and made it with the amount of cilantro I had, but it ended up being okay. Sometimes you don't have everything you need, but you still find a way to make it work. During lunch, I wanted to try something different, so I used milk in my ramen instead of water and threw in a bunch of different things and essentially ended up with a quick pasta dish. This time is definitely one that we are going to have to make it work. It's not convenient, it's not easy and there are many concerns moving forward, but we must find a way to make it through. Surprisingly it was a busy day and I accomplished so much from sunrise to sundown and beyond. While all this was not planned time, I've been happy to be able to change things up and have this time to catch up on organizing myself and also spend quality time with my parents. As while it's been a bit of a drag missing out on a lot of things that we had on schedule, we have to adapt, mix it up, and work with what we have to make something just as special as if all had went to plan. It's not easy, but we can do it if we put our minds to it!
