What did you cook or eat today (March 2025)

[msmofet]

Breakfast of champions at around 3:30 pm: I had some teriyaki chicken and chow mein noodles from my Chinese takeout, so I cut up some white onion and cabbage from the frige and sauteed it in avocado oil, then stirred in some of the cut up chicken and noodles from the to-go container with some frozen peas and scrambled egg. Finished with sesame oil and toasted black sesame seeds. Very tasty!

Edited to add: I've often wondered why they call red cabbage and red onion "red" when they are obviously purple?

Went out for lunch with friends and had a 'Dutch Chinese', so basically Chinese toned down to fit Dutch tastes. A dying breed of restaurant, but once very popular.
The Chinese-Indonesian restaurant culture

I had tjap tjoy and chicken satay.
Dutch Chinese adds Indonesian food to their menu because it's familiar to us.

I like their big spring rolls and babi pangang.
And the oversized kroepoek (krupuk/prawn crackers)

I'm trying my hands on some Dutch-Indonesian
"Indisch saucijzenbroodje"
Basically a ground meat "sausage" in puff pastry, but Indonesian spiced.
Next time it needs to be more heavily spiced though
Our puff pastry comes in a roll and I didn't want to defrost the whole thing. Hence the "gaps".
Anyway, not bad for a first attempt

And blueberries are kind of purple.

A sloppy omelette. The only thing in the middle was the cheese and a piece of the cheese wrapper.

Provided the wrapper was organic (eg paper not plastic) and it ended up tasting of cheese omelette I'd say you are good to go

Haven't had this in a million years and it was always made with grits. Mine is polenta fresh grown and stone ground 4 miles from here with sharp cheddar and processed meat things they call Vienna Sausage...

It was plastic. First time that's happened but then this is a new brand of cheaper slices.

The tasting menu of Triptique was phenomenal. I understand the raving reviews, they currently have one Michelin star but I believe they deserve at least two. The food was stunning!
And very modern too, as the kitchen is based on the 80/20 philosophy ( 80% veg, 20% meat) to be substainable in the future. Chef Niven Kunz is known as the best vegetable chef in the Netherlands and it shows! We were very impressed
Also a nice detail: when we entered we were greeted personally by the Chef and he even knew who we were. They overall stood out in their welcoming hospitality.

Steak pie, fries and peas. TVC is still in bed sleeping off the chemo so no dinner for him today, just toast.

I made a quick fried rice using imitation crab, red cabbage, green onion, peas, and scrambled egg with toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and black sesame seeds. Breakfast!

Had the usual eggs-bacon-taters-n-toast for breakfast, beer and a big plate of fries/chips for a sorta lunch, not sure what’s happening for supper, but I spied some frozen egg rolls in the freezer, so I’ll bet it’s going to be that.
