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.
… and some days are for cooking
That’s what a good rest does to me… Saturday I slept, Sunday I cooked with joy and ease . Feel rested and happy to start my Monday. Wish you all the same.
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…
Oriental meal
Cannot pinpoint the exact cuisine, but Eastern inspired that’s for sure. White radish salad with cashew and chives, kimchi, Stir fried beef and veg, rice of course.
I eat kimchi once every four-five years. This winter I crave it, I dream of eat… Is it a climate change? Am I getting old?
Ginger Chicken
Chicken and vegetables in the miso sauce. Fine barley to mop up the sauce.
Beef Wellington
Not new or particularly original but still good. Added some potatoes this time to absorb the juices a bit, but skipped mushrooms.
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.
I’m back
Two weeks away from my pots and pans broke my kitchen routine.It is an effort for me to cook right now, cannot ease into my usual ways. My meals may take a rather unusual shape nowadays. Tat’s special after camp dinner… She was asking for an ox tongue for sometime… Not everyone was eager to try. When I was a child, it was a special occasions type of food (with a grumpy voice of an old hag)
I feel like an odd block trying to fit into the wrong slot.

Can’t do much, not until all the dust of this journey settles. I’ll be putting out pictures from my old archive hoping meanwhile for my balance to return.
Holidays are here
Home pasta as usual. Its so nice to make food together with kids, and not the basic stuff, but something interesting.
