What did you cook or eat today (June 2022)?

[CraigC]

After a night of repeated asthma attacks, I wasn't up to much today, including shipping or cooking, so hubby cooked. He missed the emphasis on spaghetti!

Vegan 'Spagetti' Bolognese with shells

I'd hate to use those for stuffed shells!

Satisfied my craving, but also all I ate today due to being ill. I lost a stone in four days!

Here's pepperoni, pineapple, olive, pepper & mozzarella pizza with chilli flakes

Dessert last night

Chocolate Kahlua Bundt Cake with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
This flavor half sized Bundt cake did not sell very well at our Community's last Bake & Craft Sale.
So I stashed the leftovers in the stand-up freezer and we have been whittling away at them

I know that it wasn't in the best of circumstances that you lost that weight but you can certainly afford to indulge in that pizza.

Lol, these are not for stuffing... They are for holding the sauce in to scoop up all of the flavour, rather like the meal above...
Although the blurb with them says

Use small shells in soup, particularly chunkier soups like Minestrone or even in a hearty bean soup. They also make a great base for a pasta salad. Cooks in 11 minutes.

and calls them large shells, no 29.

This was our dinner Friday night.

Shrimp toast

Special fried rice for Craig

steamed BBQ pork and chicken/mushroom buns, and chicken feet

Egg custard steamed buns that were dessert and either shrimp or pork shui mai

Pork pot stickers

There was also crispy shredded shrimp stuffed taro rolls that didn't get pictured.

The order form

I messed up on the ordering. I thought 1 meant 1 piece. Nope, it meant 3 steamed buns or 4 shui mai or 6 chicken feet or 8 pot stickers. The fried rice came in a deep 8 inch pie plate. OMG, we had so much food. We  might have gotten through half of it.

Craig wouldn't try the chicken feet but since they weren't expensive I decided I would. A very gelatinous texture and bony as expected. They did taste pretty good, though I think I'll pass from now on.

It was groaning misery for me for a while after. Ate WAY too much.

My Husband left today for a fishing trip. I made a double batch of lemon crinkle cookies and a batch of hummas. The cookies are always a huge hit. G's friends love the Hummas and ask for the recipe.

 

[TastyReuben]

I made a big salad with a creamy-herby yogurt dressing.

MrsT had an avocado on hers. That’s right…I bought and handled my very first avocado. I feel so dirty and ashamed.

I made what I'm calling Loaded Pasta Salad again to stash in the `fridge for lunch later in the week.
I'll share a small container with Mr&Mrs Next Door Neighbor.

I made a "cheat" dinner with a frozen-ready-to-heat Prime Rib Roast, Mushrooms, Pearl Onions and Gravy.
Served of wide Egg Noodles and some Green Beans on the side.

Surprisingly delicious actually.
I found this in a bag in the freezer case at the Mega-Mart along with other meals ready to heat.
It was only $4.99 USD for two servings, not bad.
Noodles=8-9 minutes Beef=8-9 minutes Green Beans=maybe 5 minutes ... (not including waiting for the water to come to a boil) dinner in less than 10 minutes!
Add in the cost for the noodles and veg and I come up with $3.18 USD per plate of food ... and I'm just stuffed!

Sssshhhh, I have Ice Cream Sandwiches hidden in the deep freeze for dessert later ... sqqqqquuuuuueeeeeeeeeee!

I'm ashamed to admit I was doing similar calculations in my head last night with our meal...

I know that it wasn't in the best of circumstances that you lost that weight but you can certainly afford to indulge in that pizza.

Absolutely. Allso because I didn't feel hungry all day but that looked at least more appetising to me than anything else. I ate about 3/4 of it. I hope my appetite will return soon, because losing weight because you're ill is usually not healthy and regained fast.
