What did you cook or eat today (September 2024)

[medtran49]

Tovala meals of chicken katsu, rice, and an Asian slaw.

We had ham steak (which was pretty good), air-fryer french fries (always like those), and this cabbage thingy from ALDI (that wasn’t so great) - it was this finely-minced mixture of different vegetables, and frozen herbs and broth knobs, along with some golden raisins.

As it started to thaw and cook in the skillet, it had an almost North African smell to it, and I thought, “Nice, that wasn’t expected,” but it was one of the blandest things I’d ever eaten - both MrsT sat there and marveled at how it could have such a prominent smell, but taste of nothing.

You might have heard that I enjoy pizza..... You'd be right. Also, check out the leaves my basil plant is producing. Perfect leaf ☺

My Mother had a "beautification appointment" today, so it was linner out at this great "soup salad sandwich" joint.
Mom & I each had a bowl of New England Clam Chowder & half a sandwich (ham&swiss on marbled rye for her and chicken salad on 9 grain for moi).
DH is not a fan of this restaurant and has the same thing every time, Ham&Swiss, dry, no veggies either
I was going to leave him at home, again, but he insisted upon tagging along - "I haven't seen Mom in awhile, I really should come along."

I made homemade split pea soup for dinner. Also had some fresh bread.

I haven't had that in a long time. I love it but nobody else in my house did (kids hated the color and refused to try it). When I eat it I buy a can because DH won't touch it.

I made a puttanesca pasta. Had half a little tin of anchovies in the fridge, a few capers and loads of olives, so why not?

I made chicken cordon blue with a mustard cream sauce and sauteed asparagus spears. Really good!

I have learned how to make smaller batches for myself. I use a 1/4 bag of split peas. Which gives me about 2 - 3 servings. I eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It freezes well also.

I went in and complimented the cook, a senior lady, she knows her trade.

I just ordered one of those food saver systems (my husband's cousin has a buddy who has a restaurant supply store and is getting it for me at cost). I think I will make some split pea soup when ham goes on sale and freeze some small portions. Will be good to have at times where hubby is not home...lately he is always home so I still have to cook him something to eat, so generally I will eat what I am cooking for him. But now that his vision is starting to improve maybe he will get out of the house on his own more.

We had a nice outing at the casual steakhouse. The food was really good and the service was too.

Fried mushrooms appetizer, filet mignon with seared scallops, shrimp, broccoli, and baked potato for me, prime rib steak sandwich for my DH. And an ice cold Foster's in a frosty mug for DH.
