Never tried swede before so thought I'd give some Scottish Clapshot a try! I served it with a side helping of lamb and runner beans.

"Good as hell" and "That was the best &#*$'ing cupcake I've ever had in my life" followed by a high five.

5 different coworkers told me that today. ☺️ 🤭🩷.

... I even got a diabetic to eat one and he said it was "absolutely worth it". My confidence is through the roof. 😂
 
Pan and oven roasted crispy skin chicken thighs. Knoor butter and herbs pasta, with a couple of spoonfuls of chicken fat and a garnish of crispy skin from the extra pieces I cooked for chicken salad. Craig accidentally bought broccoli with cheese sauce instead of the plain mixed vegetables I asked him to buy for a different dish. Hopefully, he will never do that again, Green Giant microwave package.

Baked chicken wings, baked Luganiga sausage, sharp cheddar macaroni and cheese, and steamed asparagus (topped with butter, freshly grated parmigiano reggiano, and pecorino romano cheeses).

How was it?
Taste wise I would say it was a cross between cabbage and brussel sprouts but the texture is like a very soft potato.

Mixed with mash potatoes and chives to make Clapshot was very nice.

In fact, for lunch today I had leftover clapshot with hot dog sausages and Bisto gravy!

This Seasons first freeze - this calls for a nice warm bowl of comfort ...

For us "locals"' (that's Hawaii speak for folks from Hawaii) that means a big ole bowl of my Won Ton Mein Deluxe.
Starting at 6 o'clock in the bowl above:
Baby Bok Choi
S&S brand of frozen Saimin (waayyyy different from Ramen), we share one package between us (that's the Mein component)
Pork & Vegetable Dumplings (that's the Won Ton)
Green Onions
My homemade Char Siu or Chinese BBQ Pork (there's a nice pile of it under there)
Kamaboko or Japanese Steamed Fish Cake
all in a gorgeous broth made with Hondashi or Dashi Powder in very hot water and a dash of Shoyu (Soy Sauce)
OISHII!!!
Now granted, my DH is from Pennsylvania, but lived the majority of his life in Hawaii and adapted to the foods rather quickly.
He said that the best bowl of Won Ton Mein is the one that I make at home, because I put loads of "goodies" in it.
