What did you cook or eat today (December 2021)?

He worked in restaurant kitchens when he was a teenager, and I am sure he washed dishes. Glad I never ate there, LOL!

My wife used to clean motels in weekends for extra cash early in our child rearing days.

Made and tasted Crab Rangoon for the first time ever today. We don't get this in Australia (not that I've seen anyway), but always wanted to try. Would have to say, is quite a unique taste. Not a bad taste, but just really different to anything I'm used to. I probably wouldn't make again.

They were a bit of a trend here in Sydney a few years back now. Of course in Sydney they were often even more (con)fusion than the (con)fusion they started out as in USA.

Did you use real crab or surimi?

Every time I see b and s I think of my late mum. She loved it and usually made it sunday for lunch.

Similar here.

Bubble & squeak was normally Monday nights meal. If there wasn’t sufficient roast meat left from the big Sunday roast it might have come with an egg on top.

Yip, forgot about the egg, lol.

He used canned crabmeat, which is a step above what they do here in the US at Chinese-American takeout restaurants.

Imitation crab meat that's made out of mild white fish (pollock i think). I'd much rather have real crab, of course.

Surimi stuff then? I quite like it in its own right but crab meat it is not!

I do both. About the only thing MrsT does in the kitchen is empty the dishwasher.

I clean as I go about 50% of the time, it just depends on the recipe. I'm rather forgetful and if I'm jumping from one thing to the other, I'm likely going to forget something or skip ahead three steps.

Otherwise, I just do the cleaning up sometime between finishing eating and starting the next meal. I have to have everything clean before I can start cooking.

Last meal of the day, I usually do the dishes just before I go to bed at 10PM or so.

Multi-tasking is NOT one of my talents. If I cook and clean at the same time, something will get burned or left out of a meal.

Ah, good old Krab.. well, old... not good.

In the US, Krab with a "K" is the nickname for imitation crab.

For some reason I don't mind it in the crab rangoons or in California rolls (though I'd prefer real crab). Otherwise it sucks.

Real crab, but the cheap canned stuff.
