Plans for today (2025)

Leave hospital :laugh:. Nothing serious, Just a minor op today. Went well.
I have a freezer full of soup and casserole for the next few weeks. I've got Portuguese squid stew and a vegan version of a Portuguese soup. I know I've posted the recipes here before, but I can't remember how to do it and don't think my brain is up to working it out tonight 🙃.

What are your plans?

Squid stew sounds great if its a slow cooked affair. It's such a wonderful flavour that the squid imparts which is very different from the usual fast cooked squid.

Is this the one you mean: Recipe - Portuguese Squid Stew?
 
I've got the blackeyed peas going (not the musical group) in the crockpot with some rendered bacon, a bay leaf and chopped onion. We are still trying to sort out breakfast (yeah it's 3:30 PM here), but it looks like leftover risotto and lobster with a fried egg on top. Sounds reasonable, right?

There's a football game on at 5, so I will putter around in the kitchen and make some nachos for half-time (I will make my special smoked turkey nachos with a slice of jalapeno, a slice of smoked turkey, a dollop of sour cream with monterey jack cheese on top, baked in the oven then topped with fresh salsa and homemade guac). I don't care that much about the game, really.

Later we will eat the pork roast, blackeyed peas, greens, and cornbread (after all dinnertime is usually around 10PM here). I never got the mustard greens so I will just do a small serving of sauteed spinach instead. I was thinking about making some mini rolls from scratch for little two-bite lobster rolls to snack on after the nachos, but that might happen tomorrow instead. I haven't decided yet.
 
Was planning to power off but have realised I have everything done until tomorrow morning, this means I have time to do more cooking!
Outstanding 1st day of the new year 🎵 the only way is up down baby 🎵🤣

You can do it!
