Picked the first rhubarb of the season from my rhubarb patch and made a rhubarb pie.
 
I had to leave for work, but the pie still needed about 10 more minutes.

So Matt was responsible for taking it out of the oven when the time was up.

After looking at the pie all day, Moe decided that all he wanted for dinner tonight was rhubarb pie.
So that made dinner really easy.

It was +22 Celcius on our prairie city today! Did a lot of clean up in the flowerbeds, lawn, and garage.
I was dusty, hot, and tired, so quick supper it was!
Two traditional dishes: Joong (sticky rice in bamboo leaves) -made last fall and stockpiled in the freezer for days such as today.
Nam Yu Lobak and Pork made by my sil Rebecca Choy. It's a dish my Mom used to make - a walk down memory lane!
Lobak is Chinese daikon / radish. The meat and Lobak are braised in Nam Yu:
"It's a preserved bean curd (tofu – made from soy beans), fermented in red rice, rice wine, salt and seasonings such as Chinese five spice, sesame oil or vinegar. It's a rather pungent condiment and definitely an acquired taste. But then it's not intended to be eaten on its own by the uninitiated."
Simple stir-fried Shanghai Bok Choy go with.

Not quite. Nam yu, 南乳, Mandarin nán rǔ is made using regular white rice which has been infested with a red yeast, Monascus purpureus. It is the yeast which colours the tofu. It is also called 红腐乳 (hóng fǔ rǔ) with both names appearing on some labels.  The seasonings can vary; it doesn't usually have 5-spice round here.

I've never had it with daikon, but often with lotus root.

I'm so jealous. Although rhubarb is native to China, it is never sold in food stores. It all goes to be dried as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to cure absolutely nothing! What a waste.

Clearing out the freezer of leftovers, we had turkey roulade, gravy, and roasted squash/apples from Thanksgiving. Cut up some red potatoes and shallot and roasted them fresh as a side.

@RWoodYour wedge salad is calling my name.  I'm hungry for a good salad with really good tomatoes.

 

Mouth is healing nicely (I think).  It's been easier than the last surgery.  Still have a ton of stitches but since they're only on one side I can chew most anything now if I keep it on the non-stitch side.  Very ready for these stitches to go away.  They should dissolve in 2-4 weeks.  I didn't take pictures of a lot of meals because they were mushy and boring lol.  

 

Lasagna that I made to have ready for the day I had surgery.

I got this off of Goldbelly.  Heated that up the next day with some rice and more deviled eggs.  I lived on deviled eggs for a few days lol.

Ronnie went fishing last Friday.  Wanted to get into the walleye but none to be had.  Came home with white bass so I made fish piccata.

For @rotuts - last night's roast chicken (Marcella style) dinner (with cole slaw). Might be the last time the big oven gets used until later this year.

Looks great! Do you roast the chicken neck? That’s new to me.
