Lightly toasted and buttered homemade English muffin

Beef and Bean Chili, again tonight, with Avocado added to the Toppings!

It's time for... ...Chili, with Beef and Beans, topped with Shredded Cheese and Green Onions.

I had an early dinner with the leftovers from yesterday's lunch - no photo. For my husband, I made Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Tender-Crisp Vegetables and Extra Garlic.

Today a lady friend and I had lunch at the Cajun Greek in Galveston. She had the Chicken Gyro with Onion Strings, while I splurged and had the Shrimp Mediterranean - Grilled Shrimp topped with Mushrooms, Shallots and Herbs in a Wine Sauce over Cajun Rice; with Hush Puppies and Onion Strings. We both left with To-Go Boxes!

Yes, I found out about it here first, but it was also on the national news in the states last night.

I got an immediate confirmation email, too.

I was able to get online and file my claim in the middle of the night when their site was not so overloaded. New blade on the way.

Pan Fried Panko-Crusted Boneless Chicken Breast, Mashed Potatoes with Country Gravy and Buttered Green Beans

Hard cooked egg, a couple of teaspoons of mayo, salt and pepper on a slice of honey wheat bread

My favorite is any egg with a runny yolk and cooked white. Least favorite is dried out, hard scrambled.

Butter Garlic Wings, leftover from Sunday's lunch, and a Slaw with a Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette and Crunchies

The last of this weekends's Savory Kolaches - sausage, cheese and jalapeños - from The Kolache Bakery in League City

My husband and I had planned to go to one of our local favorites for a late lunch today, but while I was surfing on the net I found another place close to us that we had not tried before. So, we lunched at the Nobi Public House in Webster. They specialize in craft beers and serve Vietnamese-fusion cuisine. We will go back! Butter Garlic Wings with two dipping sauces - Sweet Chili Sauce and Sriracha Mayo Grilled Pork Fried Rice Grilled Pork Salad with their Signature Chili Vinaigrette

Ham and Swiss on a Biscuit with Horseradish Mustard Biscuit (leftover from Breakfast), sliced and smeared with Horseradish Mustard, used to sandwich a slice of Honey Ham and Baby Swiss, wrapped in a damp paper towel and nuked at 50% power for 35 seconds to warm the biscuit and melt the cheese.

Happy Saturday Morning!

That Polar Vortex has reached the Houston area, making it feel a lot more like the Holiday season I grew up with in St. Louis. Time for a hearty, warming dinner - Hong Kong-Style Chicken and Vegetable Curry, served with Naan.

PS I have posted my recipe for this dish on the Instant Pot (part 4) Topic.

I posted this dish in the Dinner Topic. Here is how I used the Instant Pot to make it. "Instant Pot" Risotto with Duck Breast & Cracklins, Baby Bella Mushrooms, Water Chestnuts & Green Onion Ingredients: 2 Tbs Duck Fat 1/4 small Onion, fine dice 2 cloves Garlic, minced 4 oz. Baby Bella Mushrooms, halved and thinly sliced 1 cup Arborio rice 1/4 cup white wine (or dry vermouth) 2 cups Chicken broth 1/4 cup Water chestnuts, cut into matchstick pieces 1/4 cup cooked Duck Breast meat, cut into matchstick pieces 1/3 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish Fresh ground black pepper, to taste 1 Green Onion, diagonally sliced into 1/2" pieces, for garnish 2 Tbs Crispy Duck Breast Fat, crumbled, for garnish Procedure: Pre-heat the Instant Pot with sauté at medium setting. When pre-heated, add Duck Fat. When Fat has melted, add Onion and cook while stirring until translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms, stir and cook until limp, about 1-2 minutes. Add rice and stir to coat, cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add wine or vermouth and stir to deglaze bowl and allow most of liquid to reduce, about 1-2 minutes. Add broth and stir to release any ingredients that are sticking to the bottom of the bowl. Turn Instant Pot off, cover Pot with vent in closed position and restart with Pot set to Manual at High pressure for 6 minutes. At end of cooking time, turn the pot off and do a quick release. Remove cover when pressure has been released and add water chestnuts and duck meat to Risotto and stir to incorporate. Add grated Parmesan and stir to incorporate. Add fresh ground black pepper, to taste. Add sliced green onions, stir and serve with additional grated Parmesan and Duck cracklins.
