I obtained a butane can to fit the blowlamp today ( https://www.cookingbites.com/threads/blow-torches.9759/ ) and used it on the beef fillet. Whether it made a difference or whether it was psychological I can't be certain, but it certainly tasted different for the better.

Just to clarify - the steak (about 20mm thick) was pan fried in olive oil, 2 minutes each side, before being subjected to the blowtorch - approximately 60 seconds each side.
 
Stir fry spicy vegetable noodles with a couple of chicken strips

Fresh, from Aldi. They took about 8 minutes to cook and were so tender and flavorful. And that from someone who definitely prefers her Brussels sprouts with bacon and mushrooms.

No Aldi around here so I guess I will stick with the signature kitchens frozen petite baby Brussels Sprouts. Bacon and mushrooms? ?? Will have to try that as opposed to our usual butter or cheese sauce.
 
Tonight will be a roast, baked potatoes, some turnips and baked beans. (I want to try something with the frozen baked beans.
 
My original plan was omelette for today. However, my wife decided to present me with two soft boiled eggs and soldiers for breakfast so I thought that could result in me being egg bound.

So I checked the freezer and found the remainder of the chicken coriander that I cooked a couple of months ago. There was quite a lot so I shared it with my wife.

My portion with yellow jasmine rice and a roti paratha:

You are so lucky to have a Korean Market. We need a jealousy emoticon.

I guess I shouldn't mention all of the other "ethnic" markets that I can visit on the way into or out of work. Korean, Italian, Indian, Turkish, African, South American, Mexican, etc..

Last night's sashimi and a spicy tuna roll:

With tour group ( 20 / 06 ) so it was lunch at the Hotel 1st day of their week´s itinerary for touring ..

This is what I had while making the soup I just posted: pastrami and Swiss with asparagus on homemade rye, pan cooked with a compound butter (a blend of garlic, oregano, and butter). I probably should have waited until the soup was done so I could have them together, but seriously: how was I supposed to resist this?
