      Dinner 2024

      @Shelby: THAT pizza you posted. I would LOVE that! Our first winter storm arrived Tues - beginning with rain, then ice pellets, then snow and blizzard winds. Main highways and many provincial roads were closed due to ice and visibility issues. Semis were parked along the shoulders from yesterday afternoon to this morning. It was a good day to stay home. I baked muffins all day, so supper was quick and easy. Butter Chicken with commercial sauce. Eaten with Cardamom Basmati rice A couple of my nieces who grew up working in our family restaurant were visiting from Calgary. Their request was for some dishes we had on our menu: #17 Soo's #17 - deep fried pork ribs (with a few chicken balls!) and some turned into #13, Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs Shrimp Egg Foo Young was another favourite as was Boneless Almond Chicken: Winnipeg Blue Bombs made it to the Grey Cup for the 5th year, but lost miserably in the last quarter! Supper was a winner tho- a single rib prime roast Lots of colds and flu hitting friends, so out came my Hot 'n' Soup Soup pot. Supper was augmented with some air fryer chicken wings with VH Chili Mango sauce. Local Co-Op had fresh lamb shanks - could never resist! Thai Coconut Curry Lamb Shanks And finally, another dish we love, but definitely a vegetable you either love or hate: Shrimp and Bitter Melon (Foo Gua) with black bean garlic sauce over rice noodles. |

      This multi-cooker is as dear to me as my o Rice Cooker. I use it many times a week and it has never failed to turn out great meals. (I is al available in a larger, family size.) If this thing dies today there'd be another on the truck tomorrow! I've had several other slow cookers in the past but this one never fails to amaze me.

      Help! I've lost my cooking mojo and I want it back!

      I often make something like that. Onions, potatoes, chilies, veggies ... now I can give it a proper name and serve it to guests <LOL>. Thanks for the information and the link.

      Help! I've lost my cooking mojo and I want it back!

      Thanks for your suggestion. I have vague standards, and can enjoy all quality-levels of food. There has always been ramen and frozen veggies in my home, with the veggies in the freezer next to the beef cheeks. Your point is well taken.

      Help! I've lost my cooking mojo and I want it back!

      I used to do that, go out for a meal by myself at a place that was comfortable. Since Sweetie passed, I've not done that once, although I have thought about it. I'm unsure about why the change has taken place. I've only gone out to eat with friends. I have, however, gone to a couple of drive-thrus as there's a good Mexican place that opened a take-out place that's near me, and there's the coupon-centric Burger King, but for the most part I cook and eat at home. There used to be an Olive Garden near me, and I went there a couple-three times before it closed. I never quite understood the bad rap that the place got. Sure, it wasn't a high end place, but I liked it, and I'll say this, it was a comfortable place to eat. And when dining alone, that comfortable feeling is important. Here's to Olive Garden (hoisting a glass of mediocre Chardonnay)
