Movie night: Popcorn with real melted butter, plus a bowl of roasted almonds, and for dessert, Chocolate Riesen and chocolate covered almonds.
I meant a photo from your cooking outcome. Have a visual taste. This thing here is raw. How am I supposed to eat it?
Chicken Kebabs with some homemade french fries. Should be good, but I need curry sauce on the side....ran out though.
"What is love! Curry don't hurt me...don't hurt me...no more..." I'll have to currynap another jar now. Better get my ski mask..
Do they sell these Japanese curry roux blocks in your neck of the woods? I know I found them in the regular suburban Chicago supermarkets in the "Ethnic" section. Pretty good, and very simple. Sautee your veggies and meat, dump some water into the pot, add (this is for 2-4 people) all the curry blocks, and stir until they melt. Stir longer for more penetration of the flavor into your additions, add red pepper or habenero if it's not hot enough for you. Serve with rice.
Golden Curry is the brand in my house. Couldn't make Japanese curry without it. Kinda wondering if Takoyaki sauce would be good on the chicken. Still have some Otafuku in the fridge.
Well I mean it was in a hurry. Tonight's dinner was beans. A rare treat. It`s a day of rest crackers for breakfast, chicken quesadilla for lunch, and beans for dinner. Wanna try and do more with my tortillas but only have two left. Need to actually open the bread I just got though, can`t use them for everything. Need a few things from the store, egg noodles would be great for a tuna noodle casserole. Kinda want to bake hot cross buns for Easter. Our Easter meal will consist of turkey thighs, turkey stuffing, cranberry from a can, and some kind of dessert. Then we will eat in our pjames watch trashy tv. My stepfather was really into the whole up at dawn pancake easter breakfast thing and now.....just not into that.
Dinner tonight is some Chicken tikka masala, homemade for three. One can't speak at this moment, but I'm sure it agrees that the old man can cook. When said old man wants to that is.... We're having it with Naan, since I'm just tired of rice. Compared to actual Indian joints, mine isn't too bad.
I usually skip the rice and serve it atop either a bed of barely-steamed fresh spinach or a pile of steamed mixed veg (cauliflower, broccoli, red and green bell peppers, and carrots. It's flavorful enough to cover a lot of the veggie taste for those who don't like them, and it's an easy way to cram a bunch of antioxidants into the diet. (I never skip the Naan, though. That would be sacrilege.) I do this with pasta sauces, too. Don't tell @Homer Potvin ;-)
Pizza. Homeordered and made to perfection. Half pepperoni cos fuzzball and baby carrier wanted it, but one can eat about a slice an a half while the other is 50/50 likely to let it go after an hour. At least they make good garlic knots. Yum. All mine too.
I’m doing a Tuscan seasoned chicken and a parmesan pasta. It’s quick and cheap and easy on those week nights when I can’t think of anything better to make.
Chinese delivery on the way: chicken with string beans, chicken teriyaki, chow mein, and an egg roll, which means plenty of leftovers. ETA: When I went outside to get it from the Postmates guy, the perfume of the huge orange tree a couple blocks over smelled lovely. When I passed it on my walk the other day it was loaded with blossoms and fruit.
Many moons ago I inadvertently made a rather tasty alcoholic beverage with elderberries. I was on a kick of soaking mashed fruits in vodka, straining them out at the end of about three months, sweetening to taste, bottling it, and drinking it about a year later. Well, with the elderberries I tried it after a year, and it was fairly yuk. However I didn't throw the bottles away (for some reason) I ran across them again, about five years later ...and they tasted just like port! I served it with cheese on a cheese board, and it went down a treat. I've not done it again, but that's a possibility. Mind you, how much in the way of antioxidants would still be in the mix at the end of a 6-year soaking, I have no idea. Probably better to just eat a handful of blueberries from time to time!
Damn. Catfish is on my bucket list, but I've never eaten any. Now I probably never will, as I live in Scotland now. I've heard catfish is one of the most delicious fish ever. It'll have to go some to beat Lake Superior lake trout, but it just might.
