Seafood
Pork Tenderloin, Bacon, Meat Bars, Shrimp, Egg Custard
A bit of this, a bit of that. Did some cooking today and it was all ready before my noon meal, so I tried it all! Prawns with dipping sauce (store-bought), beef meat bars, pork tenderloin, Dr. Berry’s bacon chips, red pepper. Sweetened, cold egg custard for “dessert” – I might be addicted to this…

Boxing Day: Mussels in garlic butter! Oh my… soooo gooood! Followed by two squares of Lindt’s 85% Chocolate and a Diet Pepsi. I never normally bring Diet Pepsi home, just occasionally have it at Costco or a restaurant, but I bought a few cans just for the holidays! When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Read MoreRomaine Lettuce Salad with Canned Mackerel
Romaine lettuce salad with cherry tomatoes, red onion, red pepper, chopped kimchee (rinsed to reduce spiciness) and two cans of mackerel (one plain, one smoked). I also added 1 T. of liquid from the can of plain mackerel. The salad mitigates some of the richness of the mackerel, the same thing that rice would do.…
Read MoreCurried Shrimp and Chicken
Curried shrimp with cauliflower rice, topped with chicken left over from making chicken stock. I spiced up the chicken with some garlic/ginger/chili paste since it’s kind of tasteless after making stock. Made a pretty good combo!
