also a veggie soup, mixed veggies, with chickenback bones for the meat flavour and some barley to thicken soup,

meat was a simple lamb chop, coated with floue, salt and peeper, then fried till crispy,

and of course rice

not exotic,

will let you know next time is more unusual

"lift your chopsticks"
:D

Tonight it was a Sweet sour pork Trotters.
Cut by the chinatown butcher into chopstick manageable pieces. Then into cold water, to soften skin and fuzz for a shave with old razor.
Fully cover with cold water, brought to the simmer to get rid of scum and excess fat,
rinse with hot tap water then cold water, a final clean up shave.

2 pcs 1/4" flatted ginger roots into hot oil in thick bottom pot, add ginger then 'dry'
trotters to lightly braise,
when aromas leaave the pot, add two capful Rum or brandy, then dark soy sauce,, also oyster sauce, some chilli, salt , sugar and vinegar and water to about 2/3 depth of trotters. optional, star anisssed and fermented black beans.
Simmer till soft and little gooey, thickly cut (diagonallly) spring onions and coriander gives it the finishing touch.
Good with plain white rice.

leftovers, better still after a few days.

We're having lemon baked chicken, steamed broccoli and baked potatoes (Russet for my husband, sweet for me). And a nice 2001 vintage of A&W Root Beer..... ;)

Chili John's chili! Chili John's being a Green Bay restaurant that also packages their chili for sale in grocery stores (snakelady knows what I'm talking about!).

Probably Paella. If my feet are acting up...PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY! lol!

Tonight it's stir-fry at our house. I'm using the Emeril Lagasse recipe posted on cheftalk a while back by Afra I think.

Turkey kabobs (breast tenders, tendons removed, chunked and marinated in olive oil, lemon, garlic, oregano), grilled mushrooms, polenta (probably).

Mmm.. carribean beer...

Tonight will be Potage Parmentier, Garden salad and a warm pita sandwich with chinese eggplant sautéed with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, soy and balsamic. Fruit salad with a light honey and vanilla-bean syrup for dessert.

After all that vacation food....take out Chinese, and plenty of veggies <S>

Tonight, Chicken tikka with Basmati rice...it's been marinating since last night!

Yumm


:p

This evening I did roast turkey breast marinated in a mango sauce, garlic mashed potatoes with parsley and cream, and whole green beans with carrot coins. Of course I personally ate a teaspoon of peanut butter. It's almost the only thing that doesn't upset my stomach as of late. Everyone else scarfed it up though :)

Oh heck, I forgot the tossed salad with mescalin mix.
