Chicken nuggets from the freezer. The rest was quickly pulled together to accompany them. Last night I found a rather sad and slightly freezer burned hunk of baguette which I toasted, slathered with butter and enjoyed just before bed. Slow but steady progress.

Not bad at all. Now I’m going to have to get up and make something to eat.

@KennethT Nice to know you’re human like the rest of us.

I think she moved on quite some time ago.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could get anything like that in terms of Chinese food around our neck of the woods? I’m sure something similar isavailable somewhere in the GTA but not where we hang out.

You do know how to do it in style. Loverly!

A virtual shopping expedition to a Japanese dollar store while making a Japanese meal for myself yesterday evening really made my day! Maybe @Kerry Beal can’t make a fruit crisp without an oven but she can still perform some pretty damn good miracles.

Don’t beat yourself up. A truly balanced diet includes the occasional pig out on junk food. Remember: “moderation in all things including moderation”!

Kimchi gyoza nabe. @HungryChris would have liked this. Wonder where he is. The gyoza were homemade from the freezer.

Today I was able to slowly dig around in the freezer and find a few packages that needed to be binned or flushed. There is so much good in there that I just want to get to! Chicken meatballs wrapped in perilla leaves over rice, broccoli with miso walnut sauce and carrot purée. All but the sauce came from my freezer.

I do not mean to speak for @liuzhou who has shown that he is always capable of speaking for himself. However if he feels about corn the way I feel about lentils, the quality wouldn’t matter. If lentils were birthed of virgin mothers and raised on elysian fields watched over by shepherds of the highest order I still wouldn’t eat them. Chacun à son goût.

I am insanely jealous even though I no longer have a use for such a dish! Love Dansk.

Yeah can’t believe she’s stymied by the mere lack of an oven. Surely she could adapt an Eztemper to the task. If not, I consider it a design failure. She needs to build that ability into her next re-tool.

Please tell us more. Looks and sounds delicious.

I managed to discard the horrible spinach and another package of mystery food yesterday. It doesn’t sound like much progress but every little counts. Did a little better for my dinner yesterday evening. Rice, soy glazed chicken drumsticks and stuffed baby peppers in the lower portion. Pickled tomatoes and broccoli with miso-walnut dressing in the upper portion. Apart from the pickled tomatoes and the dressing everything came from my freezer. It was a much tastier meal than the pot roast. Holding out for a good health day today so I can do a little more digging into that freezer drawer.

Breakfast yesterday. Still trying to perfect my chawanmushi. After much research and putting together a chart of different times and temperatures and ratios I managed to become distracted and was able to harvest not one scrap of useable data from this experiment. But the result was tasty and I have another one to eat today. Science is so damned demanding.

That is the very best mind picture I have had in forever!

The fruit that looks good and I do like that cutlery.

But nary a single English muffin.

I was simply teasing you. I have been known to sneak it in there too.

Harumph! What is corn doing in a Shepherds’ pie? @liuzhou will be apoplectic if he sees this.

Almost better than the glutton-free beer we saw on a menu somewhere if you remember.

Oh well I tried.

Don’t know. Obviously not an option when these are being devoured in an office environment. Although I’m sure this gang would have no issues —their management might!

How about just “delicious” because it does look that way.
