Roasted tomato/white bean stew for dinner. Probably not a repeater, but not terrible.
Just kind of flat. Not enough heat or texture. Homemade croutons were really good tho!

Remembered to take the fish out today, so I made last night’s planned dinner - Tod Mun Pla as burgers! I followed the Hot Thai Kitchen recipe, but turned them into four burgers instead of 17-19 little apps. I shallow fried the burgers in some oil on medium high for 3-4 minutes a side. The leftovers will be dinner tomorrow. I love these (and they end up a lot less greasy then when we get them at a restaurant)!

So sorry you’re still dealing with that pain. Glad your PIC is there for you though! I need to watch that new Chang program at some point. I just feel like everything I’ve seen from him lately is in service of hawking his Momofuku branded supermarket offerings though.

This is really fun, depending on his guests (tonight it’s Seth Rogen and some rando dude I don’t know). I enjoy his humility and willingness to mess up. The meal tonight is CRAY - I’m taking notes and posting later here :slight_smile: where I am mostly talking to myself :joy:

That’s very unfortunate, and I’m sorry you’re having trouble managing your pain. I hope you can find something to alleviate it. Oxycodone works best for me (tramadol is too weak, and hydromorphone makes me puke).

Unfortunately, all opiates make me barf without excception - even the tramadol. I can sometimes handle it later at night (when I’m not running around town like an idjit), after a reasonably filling meal. I do have Naproxen, which I took earlier, but it also doesn’t do much.

And throwing painkillers at it is def not the kind of management I want to apply longterm, but until a new MRI is done there’s not much else. PT has done fuckall. I wish someone could just kill that damaged nerve or rip it out or what have you. Meh.

ETA: my PIC’s pain management approach.

Crispy, salty chickie thighs with the last dredges of green sauce - a Chinese-Peruvian mashup if you will. And that bok choy :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Flounder. Any mild white fish works great here!

I thought I was making Pierogi, kielbasa, cabbage soup using potato pierogis instead of cheese, no potatoes or caraway added. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the potato pierogis were chicken pot stickers. :hushed: It was hot, tasted good and hit the spot so AWTEW. Cuke, red onion, oo&v and dill salad.

Pulled chicken tacos with the works and cilantro-lime slaw.

Our one steady repeat meal.

That, or hanging out with celebs, financed by the show.
