    acpgee - toast is cooked - ergo it is cooking. :)

    Not a high degree of difficulty, granted - but cooked food nevertheless.

    There was some leftover miso caramel sauce at the back of the fridge which I loosened up in the microwave and drizzled over a banana. Wow. This will be great on sliced sour apples too.

    There's a great line in the movie, "PT-109,' about JFK's experience in WWII pacific. According to the movie, he put together a ragtag crew, and designated one to be chef because he could make peanut butter sandwiches. When it came time for his commissioning inspection, the chef was asked, "Do you serve hot meals?" to which he answered, "yes." Kennedy asked, in an aside, "What's hot?" Answer: "peanut butter on toast."

    Actual true scampi ! In the States most restaurants serve shrimp, and call it scampi 😄

    Yep, and here are the little rascals before cooking (they look alive, but they are not).8hs1hqaf198y.jpg

    We've got a watermelon and are planning to do Turkish salad of watermelon, feta, and mint on Sunday. Made vaguely Turkish savoury pastries from Chinese springroll wrappers and the minced lamb and spinach filling for Turkish gozleme. The chinese springroll wrappers sold in the deep freeze section of asian supermarkets are a lot easier to handle than store bought phyllo. I treated them like phyllo and brushed finished pastries with melted butter before chucking in the freezer on trays. We tried out one baked in the air fryer. Filling was a little under seasoned so will make a salty garlic and yoghurt dip for them on Sunday.

    Japanese pancakes with white cabbage inside the dough. and with coconut, soy sauce and fermented shrimp paste. I put spring onion and smoked mackerel on top and used peanut sauce and sambal as sauce. Totally delicious and so filling.

    Wednesday Night Entree - Greek-Style Lemon Herb Chicken

    Lemon, pepper, herbs marinade - including some fresh-harvested basil from my Aerogarden hydroponics unit (made a real difference in the flavor "pop"). Sides of brown rice and carrots. Baked at 375, then finished under the broiler. Wanted to grill outside, but we're having the house painted this week.

    Fried rice & cauliflower rice blend with shredded chicken breast, green onions, and eggs. Mixing the cauliflower rice with regular rice makes it more palatable to me and is still less calories than if I just ate straight rice. We also had some frozen Pork & Ginger Soup Dumplings from Trader Joes. Those things are delicious.

    Last evening's dinner: "Italian-style" chicken burgers with grilled spaghetti squash. The burgers were prepared by our butcher and delivered with our last meat order; a bit of a treat. The squash was an experiment: I usually boil or oven-roast it, this was my first time grilling. 1st pic: using a 2-zone heat on the BBQ, the squash (lightly seasoned [S&P, crushed garlic paste, grated sage, cayenne dusting] and oiled) had a 20-minute start on a medium heat before the frozen burger patties on higher heat; here, they've just been inverted. Note flat-sit area I cut on the underside. 2nd pic: done after another 20 minutes; some good browning and caramelization. To serve, I extracted the squash from its shell as typical "squash spaghetti," and folded in some grated parm and basil to complete. The folding process distributed the charred fragments so they became crunchy tasty bits.

    I'm going to have to try grilling the squash! I had turkey I scored after thanksgiving that was taking up the freezer space, I took it out to start the defrosting process. I'm going to have my friend smoke it for the 4th of July. Spaghetti squash on the side with bunch of other veggie side dish is my plan. Thx for the inspiration!
