I love Jambalaya.
I honed my recipe over the years.
My husband wasn't really a spicy food person, so it became more bland.
I went back to how I thought it should be cooked after we separated, but added more veg, because the Evil Ex ate no fruit or vegetables until he met me.
I readjusted it after moving home, because Mum gets bad gut-ache from peppers and Dad has such a small appetite.
But in all its incarnations it never became to Special Go-To dinner I wanted it to be.
Which was a shame, because even having tweaked it for other people's tastes, I still maintain my home-cooked version is better than any shop-bought one.
See, this is where I dropped the ball when I went to the Limeys'. I left home in too much of a hurry and in too scrambled a state. They'd have really appreciated something like this. Instead I reheated food prepared by other people. Which I admit was yummy, but lacked the personal touch.
