Hump day supper 2025 March 5

[taxlady]

I couldn't think of anything I wanted to eat and wanted to cook until I thought of breakfast for supper. And, I had just gotten a produce basket delivery which included some young rainbow chard. Eggs and greens, now that appealed. So, I cooked 3 slices of bacon and then cooked a chopped up jalapeño and the chard greens. When that was nearly ready, I cracked a couple of eggs and nestled them in with the chard leaves. I turned down the heat and put a lid on the skillet, so the egg white would cook on top without having to flip the eggs over. I had a toasted wholewheat bagel with cream cheese to go with that. I almost forgot. I didn't think there was quite enough veg, so I cut an avocado in half and filled the hole with green tomatillo salsa.

We had pork cutlets and Tots.

Frozen Quiche, still tasty. Only one more piece left so have to start thinking about another one. They are sooo handy/easy/satisfying to have in the freezer.

Tuna casserole with peas, carrots, medium pasta shells in cream sauce (thanks Campbell) with crushed potato chips on top.

The picture is from making it another night, but I like pictures.

Mississippi chicken*, mashed taters, Caesar salad. Fresh sourdough bread.


*Mississippi chicken is a Mrs. Boss creation. Slow cooked chicken breast in some kind liquid (she won't say what's in it) with about 1/2 dozen pepperoncini peppers tossed on top. Kind of tangy and savory all at once. Recipe works equally well with a beef roast.

I had stir fry. I fried up a package of pre-cut Asian style veggies, then added 8 oz. scallops, and finished it with sweet chili stir fry sauce. Served over jasmine rice.

I think I may have mentioned this before, but I wake up every morning and am already thinking about what I will cook. It’s probably the cheffy thing in me. But it’s also really helpful for things that are going to take time.
This morning, my crazy brain told me: Cajun Pasta Seafood. Don’t ask me why, I just don’t know. But I really wanted to make pasta, and I really like Cajun prawns.
So here it is (and it was absolutely delicious!)

I'd come for dinner for that.

I guess it’s “fusion”

Thank you @FrankZ !
Any of my cyber friends here are always very welcome to visit my home for a meet and greet with a meal! You just have to be travelling half way around the world to make it happen, I suppose?
I’ve had this happen. I was in America for a short time once, many years ago. My hotel chain had sent me there to discuss a possible position they might have wanted me for. I was in Florida and everyone was gobsmacked that I had “flown half way around the world!” for a job interview.
I thought - it really isn’t that far.
But then, there is a lot of people who think that Australia is as far away as flying to the moon (and just as much cultural)
It’s absolutely not the case.
Come here and be blown away by how much fun you can have!

Hmmm, thinking back now, I probably should have taken that job…

 

[dragnlaw]

Ahhh, you know "Hindsight is 20/20".

 

[Jade Emperor]

Oooh, can I steal that one? It’s something that I just would love to say!

I got to go to Sydney for work years ago. It was a good time, other than the black flies.

I miss chicken fries.

I often see a similar dish in some of the restaurants where I live. Usually they employ some variation on Alfredo sauce. It's one of my favorites.

 

[Jade Emperor]

Yes, we have a lot of flies. House flies, black flies, march flies (which bite), blowflies, probably every fly known to man.
Oh, and we have crocodiles and snakes and sharks and spiders and scorpions and jellyfish and camels and mosquitoes and ants and did I mention spiders?
All will gladly kill you!
Come to Australia and die!

See? It’s not my idea, and clearly not my invention. I’ve probably heard it somewhere and it has infused somewhere deep into my reptilian brain.
