Quick fix
Avocado filled with rice and salmon
Suhi salad...
I had no heart to make a proper rolls and came up with two ways to enjoy the sushi taste in half the time. It won’ substitue the real thing, but when I’m in a hurry it works very well. Quick chop and toss, dash of wasabi, splash of soy, meal is ready.
Oriental Meal
Love the dinners I can toss together in 20 minuets. Rice noodles, some prawns and veggies. A touch of Chinese sauce, and I can start my evening wind down.
Good dish in the restaurant gets my imagination going and my creative juices flowing. Perfect meal out is the one I want to replicate at home. Here is the example. Steamed snapper with ginger, scallions and soy sauce. Had to use the oven with a bowl of boiling water instead of a proper steamer and snapper instead of barramundi. It works.
Omlet Tamagoyaki Style
Classic combination, different execution. Salmon and chives are sprinkled between thin layers of cooked egg.
Oops, I did it Again
… only this time I did not skip a thing, including miso soup and oranges for desert. Time on my hands and inner calm usually have a pleasing kitchen results. After such a weekend Mondays is no woe.
What is missing?
If I could finish it with a miso soup, my perfect meal would’ve been complete. But after doing all this I had no will in me left even for as tiny effort as miso soup.
Perfect meal
This combination is worthwhile to remember and repeat. Mushroom sauce ties everything together so well. I really should stop cooking and especially baking, if I want to get slim ever again. But then family will go hungry… Where is that happy medium…
This is what I want for my dinner tonight…
… and this is what I won’t get. Just two impediment – “
“You cannot step into the same river twice.” In my case it is boring to cook same meal over again (providing that I have a choice). Secondly I don’t have the ingredients, and not likely to get them today. Otherwise its perfect for my mood and appetite.
Culinary Disgrace
Meal from a freezer section of a supermarket. Have to post it as a reminder. Don’t do it again darling, ever…
Fish Soup
Attempt to “marry” French Bouillabaisse and Russian Uha (fish soup). Results are very pleasing. I used frozen fish, so it can be a good stand by dish, quick too.
Sushi
Can have it any day of the week
Sunday
- Fish pie (granny style) – rice, can of salmon, chives, onion. Ordinary yeast dough.

Enough food for two days
