Using mostly long-term pantry stores tonight, I made a BBQ "pulled" chicken, using one 28oz can of chicken, fresh rough-diced green pepper and onion, BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays is the fam favorite). As a side, and pertinent to the "lockdown" undercurrent to this thread, I made a mac and cheese casserole ... using powdered ingredients (cheese, eggs, milk). Results below. Family thought it was pretty good. I've yet to compute my MFP macros, but let's say this wasn't a dietetic night tonight, LOL. Was a good pouring-rain work-at-home-day morale meal, though. We ARE getting some fresh deliveries now, so tonight wasn't really a "lockdown" dinner but a meal of convenience after chores.
Leftover laksa for breakfast. When I was in grad school, I collaborated on a short research project at the University of Singapore and they always served laksa for breakfast at the uni canteen.
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.
Not a high degree of difficulty, granted - but cooked food nevertheless.
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."
