Did you just forget the beans or was this an act of mercy?😂😂😂😂😂

I so envy Moe.

Should you happen to stumble upon some worthy plums Here.

Obituary. "The Jewish food writer Marlena Spieler has died aged 74. Spieler, who was based in the UK, wrote more than 70 cookbooks including volumes on macaroni cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches and classic Jewish food. Born in 1949 in Sacramento, California, Spieler started devising recipes whilst she was a student at an art school. Her books covered food from all over the world, from a range of cultures – she wrote about miso-pickles from Japan, corn pancakes from Indonesia and Camembert from France. Her Jewish heritage was rooted in her writing, through her recipes for dishes such as baba ganoush, kugel, sweetmeats and tabbouleh."

I was about to open a new box of tissues thinking that there was no access to a Kindle edition for Canadians. It certainly isn't a huge bargain. But I consider $18.99 still a reasonable price for a book that is over 500 pages long. I don't cook much anymore but I still read when I can. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I found one on amazon.ca which promised to do this for me:☞ Double gallbladders can be steamed at the same time, fast steaming for 25 minutes, cooking rice, hot rice, sushi, porridge, soup, stew, noodles, heat preservation, etc.

I hope I won't fall for it but I would love to know more about it.

Noodles tossed with 1 teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon marmite. (Right after I finished eating I dropped the bowl and it is now in three pieces!)😩

On Sunday @Kerry Bealand I decided to try a new Thai restaurant, Thai Senses. Kerry had Tom Kha with chicken satay. I had Tom Kha with crispy vegetable spring rolls.

Take out packaging is changing here. Rarely see Styrofoam anymore. Clamshell packaging for takeout food is now some sort of reinforced paper that is grease proof and pretty much water resistant.

That looks amazing, Norm.

One cannot help but admire your adaptability.

There is not even a hint of scorn in his voice as he prepares a meal and tells of his father bringing home cans of Spam during the war and his mother stretching them to two meals. And I am sure he is aware how many millions of people still depend on Spam.

MADE MY DAY. (The beans would have to go.)

Breakfast this morning was a mug of Caldo Verde which might belong just as well in the unexpected food gifts thread.

In the before times @Kerry Bealand I used to dine occasionally at Mikado in Burlington. This is advertised as a Japanese restaurant but like most Japanese restaurants in this area it seems to be as much Korean as it is Japanese. Kerry had the bulgogi. it came with miso soup. I had the beef udon. And a Wakame salad.

Wow. Bedrest is definitely frowned upon here. But I am not your doctor, I am sure you are looking forward to getting back to your home.

San Marzano tomatoes with a drizzle of balsamic, Ziggys creamy green coleslaw and three pork ribs. (I owe @blue_dolphinfor those ribs. Straight from the freezer then 450°F for 35 to 40 minutes. I have a large Ziploc bag full of rib portions!).

Exactly my issue. I did not realize that they came with only a sauce package rather than a broth/soup base.

You have been on my mind since your first admission to hospital. I am glad they are finally getting to the cause of your disability and pain.

I stand corrected.

Thanks but it doesn't really answer the question.

At the risk of being laughed at I ask how you can call noodles instant ramen when they are served with a sauce and not a broth. The Momofuku noodles come with sauce packages. The noodles are cooked and drained and then the sauce is added. It is enough to cook the noodles but not much more.
