WEBVTT - Try a new cuisine 

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Good Morning, This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:18.599
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is to try a new cuisine. Making a

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>dish with a completely different flavor profile than you're used

0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to is one way to shake up dinner and make

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a normal day more memorable. This summer, when my family

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>was looking for ways to streamline household operations, we began

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>ordering meal kits from one of those delivery services. We

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 1>get the ingredients for two dinners a week. It's not

0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:45.800
<v Speaker 1>particularly quicker or easier than what we'd normally do, but

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>what we have noticed is that they send us stuff

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that would not occur to me to make on my own.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 1>We're talking Malaysian food, or Hawaiian stuff, or ingredients like

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>sambal ulik, which I may not even be pronouncing correctly.

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I like to think of myself as somewhat sophisticated, but

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know anything about Indonesian sauces. Trying a new

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>cuisine has given me some new favorite foods. It makes

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Tuesdays a wee bit more interesting and memorable than if

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I just served grilled cheese. Now, you may be much

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>more cosmopolitan than I am, but I bet there are

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>at least some cuisines that you are less familiar with,

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and even if you eat from around the globe, there

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 1>may still be regional options or particular dishes that you

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>haven't tried. Doing so nudges you out of your comfort

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>zone and may even make a grocery store trip feel

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>different as you hunt for something that you've never bought before. Now,

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>of course, there's also an easier way to try a

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>new cuisine. You can order delivery from a restaurant with

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a new to you cuisine as well. These days, it's

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>certainly a good thing to send more business to local restaurants.

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>If you are unsure what you should order, see if

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>there is a most popular section on the website, or

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>here's an idea, call the restaurant and ask what they recommend.

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>But in any case, trying a new cuisine is a

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>very easy way to make life a little more exciting.

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 1>So today, look at a map of the world, pick

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>an area or you haven't tried much of the food,

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>do a little digging, look up popular recipes, and choose

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>one or two that seem doable. Next time you go

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to the grocery store, get these ingredients and then try

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 1>your hand at it. You are well on your way

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to having at least one little adventure this week. And

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 1>when life feels like a lot of the same old,

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 1>same old as we are all dealing with these days,

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>well a few Indonesian sauces just might change that up.

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime. This is Laura. Thanks for listening, and

0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:05.640
