Borrowed a page from my mom's book. I am amazed that growing up she put up three Chinese dishes a night on the table (not including rice). This was a chicken breast stir fried with courgette made fresh tonight, leftover Sichuan eggplant salad from last night, and leftover cabbage cooked with Chinese sausage also made last night for my packed lunch.

My husband has been in the local hospital for the last two weeks with heart/kidney disease issues. Today i visited the hospital cafe and had redpepper gouda soup for the first time. You might look for the recipe online. It was delicious and I have no photo of it.

Coriander soup with Thai flavours (red curry paste, coconut milk, vinegar, coriander garnish) followed cheese souffle and green salad. My new air fryer (chosen for looks over performance) might suck at baking focaccia, but the souffle comes out perfect.

Thanks, and yes. I managed to avoid it until now, but I guess I picked it up from my wife, to whom I was tending after she got it. What knocked her flat out had me with mostly headaches, tiredness (sometimes pretty strongly tired), some increased congestion. I'm still not up to full energy, but testing negative now and otherwise OK. Could've been worse. I'd like to believe a strong constitution and tending to my gut-moderated immune system through decent food choices (as chronicled herein) made a difference, but it could just be a crapshoot for all I know, LOL. It's back to the drawing board now, menu-wise.

@mjbnj0001 - glad you are on the upswing. Hope dw is too! We had it here, twice - never needed naps until that, lol
Strawberries, scrambled baby shrimp & eggs with cheese & salsa, and a buttered parmesan bagel top half.
Used a 'butter with olive oil and salt' - it was spreadable and had an extra melty mouth feel.
Believe I could enjoy as much as regular butter, maybe even more...

We're leaving tomorrow morning for a few days in Amsterdam. Got home late from work because there is always a long list of stuff that needs sorting before going on leave. Dinner was cheat's soupe au pistou, Turkish salad, and a shared pizza ordered in.

Enjoy! As I remember from your prev posts, Amsterdam is your old stomping grounds. We'll be there in several weeks, as one of the endpoints of a river cruise with Basel. I've been a couple of times for business, but this is my wife's first. One of our shoreside treks will be the string of historic windmills still doing sea pumping duty. Not sure of shoreside eats, but there will be some. With this trip upcoming, our recent seige with covid was an extra layer of anxiety.

my take on pasta e fagioli 🌿
Needed to use up a lot of cannellini beans and vegetable leftovers. 🫑 🧅 🍅 🫘
Used an amaranth teff pasta- pretty good!
( May try a batch with only teff flour next. )

My favourite way to use up vegetable oddments and beans in a simple tasty soup is cheat’s soupe au pistou.
Boil a handful of frozen veg, a tin of white beans, a chopped tomato and any veg you have lying around. Top each bowl of veggie soup with a large dollop of pesto. Store bought from a jar works fine. This one used a handful of split mung beans instead of tinned beans, I think.

I don’t post dinners out, here anymore but today I had the poshest vegetarian dinner ever. It was for a museum opening where the hubby contributed. Fine dining style food distributed like canapes.

Hope everyone’s recovered. Here’s my list of food not to miss in the Netherlands.
Street stall or fish shop: Matjes haring (=brined herring) and gerookte paling (=smoked eel). Dutch herring is brined, not pickled. I call it working man’s sushi. Eaten on it’s own or in a soft white bread roll. Traditionally garnished with some chopped raw onion and pickle but gourmets will have it only with black pepper. Smoked eel is often served in a buttered white roll with pepper. It is a delicacy in NL and Denmark. Hubby won’t eat it anymore as eel is getting scarce and might end up on the endangered list in future.
Bar snack: bitter ballen (=dutch croquettes). Balls of cold congealed veal stew that are bread crumbed and deep fried. Like a normal croquette the size of small arancini, but are hot liquid stew when you bite into them. Not low calorie of course. Available in any bar or pub.
Supermarket to bring home: Oude geiten kaas (=aged hard goat cheese) and rookvless (=thinly sliced smoked beef). Both for sandwiches. The goat cheese can be used like Parmesan for cooking. Rookvless is similar to Italian breasola and low calorie compared to other cold cuts.
Sweets from any supermarket for gifts: bitterkoekjes (=almond macarons) and ontbijtkoek(= a low calorie ginger bread). The ontbijtkoek is eaten at breakfast with butter as there is no fat in this cake.
The cheese, cold cuts and sweets can also be bought in the HEMA, the Dutch version of Target stores.

Pan fried halibut over confit shallots and leeks fortified with a lobster cream sauce on basmati rice.

I just re-read. Didn't know the eel situation. Not being a regular eel consumer, I thought they were plentiful, as I was used to seeing them here in NJ. Just did a quick check, and yes, they are . European eels moreso than American, but both are endangered. Pity.

Artisinal truffle cheddar and hummus on whole grain seeded toast and blackberries.

We got home from Amsterdam tonight and it was too late to cook. Made my bastardized soupe au pistou using all the veg we had in the house (split mung beans which cook in 12 minutes from dry, cabbage, courgette, spinach).
