National Chocolate Covered Anything Day ~ Dinner Thread 12/16/2022

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

DH still isn't feeling well, so no Chocolate anything here, but we are having a super nice bowl of Saimin with all the fixin's

We have Spam, (for me only) Shrimp, Baby Bok Choi, Kamaboko aka Japanese steamed Fish Cake, TJ's Pork & Veg Gyoza and of course the noodles - S&S brand Saimin frozen from Hawaii.... ONO!!! (that's delicious in Hawaiian)
In Hawaii we would call this Won Ton Mein Deluxe.

I had some diced ham mixed with mac & cheese and petite diced tomatoes. 3 Hostess Chocolate-covered mini doughnuts for dessert - keeping with the theme of the day.

That looks like a bowl of comfort food, @Kaneohegirlinaz. I hope it fixes your DH.

We finished up the beef - more hot beef sandwiches on homemade country bread. A can of corn and the last of a bag of frozen skinny green beans completed dinner. We'll have some homemade black walnut ice cream a little later.



And finally, today is the 75th birthday of the transistor. A little seed of technology was moved from Bell Labs in NJ. to the fertile soil of the Silicon Valley, growing into the technology we enjoy today.

The transistor's role in the birth of Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley exists for a number of reasons. Chief among them might be the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Stir-steamed vegetables: broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, zucchini, onions, carrots, cactus leaves with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a touch of vinegar. Served with brown basmati rice. Dessert, a vegan chocolate silk pie with oat crust.

We tried out the last of Les Filles Fatouches' shish taouk marinated chicken breasts tonight. I didn't really notice any difference between this "spicy red shish taouk marinated chicken breasts" and their "red shish taouk marinated chicken breasts". It was really delicious in any case. I served that with roasted sunchokes and a salad of Boston lettuce, young rainbow chard, sorrel, napa cabbage, scallion greens, and a white carrot and my batch vinaigrette.

I spent most of the afternoon making a big pot of sauce with meatballs and sausages.

I made a small pot, three bowls, of vegetable beef with barley soup to warm up the kitchen and steam up the window.

Sugar free vanilla ice cream with walnuts and a drizzle of sugar free maple flavored syrup for afters.

We had steak sandwiches and homemade chips. It made for a great dinner!
