What do your meals look like (show me pictures)....

Peking duck breast, kind of like Chinese tacos sipped with Vietnamese cahn soup for extra greens.

Breakfast today - Spicy Omelette on toast. Where my spicy buddies at? 😋🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Pan fried sea bass, roast potatoes, butter blackened hispi cabbage, some leftover hollandaise warmed up low on the microwave with some lemon and butter to have on the fish.

The hubby cooked. Dutch zuurkool stampot (=mash mixed with sauerkraut), and some salt beef we bought at the Jewish deli plus store bought condiments of picalilly and english and french mustards. I have ordered beef brisket and going attempt my own salt beef. Takes 8 days with 7 days of dry brining and 1 day in the sous vide but doesn't look like a lot of effort.

Nikumiso (ground pork, onion, ginger, red miso, garlic, soy sauce, mirin) with brown rice & baked delicata squash with butter, red miso and ginger. The recipe called for sake and sugar but I used the mirin to substitute for those two items as the only bottle of sake I have is a full 750ml which is too much for a non weekend night. And I never have actual sugar in the house. I didn't like the delicata squash. So no to acorn and delicata but yes to butternut.

The pictures in the recipe are much darker and the meat seems to have more moisture overall. I'm not too sure why mine is lighter and looser because my quantities were precise. Regardless it tasted good though a little salty from the miso. Perhaps it was due to the lack of sugar.

*for a few minutes* 😂
Today was almost a repeat of yesterday. Enjoying the heck out of this KA recipe rye bread, and a left overs dinner. I hadn’t logged consistently since before the holidays and am realizing now that I need to work to get my protein up 😕

Orange crispy vegan chicken, brown rice and broccoli

Soup w dried fava beans and potato.

Starter of salad with smoked mackerel and beetroot using the leftover anchovy and garlic laced nicoise dressing from last night, thinned down with water. Main of smoked salmon carbonara which is not as decadent as it sounds, calorie wise. For two people we used a teaspoon of butter for infusing with garlic, one egg and one yolk a a tablespoon of parmesan, as well as 100g of smoked salmon trimmings and chive.

I made shredded taco venison out of the bitty rounds we had stored, and then we had taco bowls out of said venison. It was absolutely delicious

Thai aubergine salad followed by pad thai.
