Grabbing a quick, casual Sushi dinner at " Taro’s Fish & Seafood, Woodbine " before doing some grocery shopping.
At $45, the Premium Nigiri Sushi Set comprising of two mini Dons of ’ Unagi on rice ’ and ’ Ikura, Botan Ebi and Ika on rice ’ plus an additional 7 pieces of Nigiri was pretty good value. The Neta toppings for the Shari were well chosen and fresh. At $35, the Deluxe Sushi Set, with Spicy Salmon Rolls replacing the two Dons was also well received.
Linguine with cod, tomatoes and black olives from THE MAGIC OF TINNED FISH. The Big J and I have been hooked on good quality conservas since we tried some at Bar Isabel, years ago. This cookbook is helping us go through the many cans we have accumulated (lol we still buy 'em if we see 'em). This is an easy pantry recipe with everything but the fresh basil on hand at all times.
Chili from the freezer. I also tossed into the pot the last of the tortilla soup from the other night. Tortilla chips for crunch.
Bagged iceberg lettuce mix. Grilled out whole spatchcocked chicken. Homemade blue cheese dressing and croutons. Betty Crocker extra fudgy cake and canned extra fudgy frosting for a birthday. And a little whipped cream.
Yum
I cooked and I’m pooped.
I stopped by a favourite fish monger 12 miles outside town.
Char, scallops and Newfoundland mussels.
Beans with dried apricots, curry powder, coconut milk and tomato.
Greek green beans with dill and lemon
That looks delicious.
Pork tenderloin seasoned with pork seasoning, seared and roasted, chimichurri sauce. Asparagus with cotija cheese, mixed greens salad, green onion, grape tomatoes, avocado, chipotle ranch. Sangria.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Happy birthday!
Vietnamese-ish fusiony tacos with prepared carnitas, pickled carrot and radish, cilantro, jalapeño, cashew crema, hoisin, lime, and sriracha. Quick and as easy as prepping toppings.
Steamed cauliflower, broccoli, and (yes, “baby” 
) carrots with butter and leftover dumpling sauce as the side.
Oh no, not my birthday, my grandson’s. Baked a 9 x 13 cake and as soon as it came out of the oven my husband asked for a piece of hot cake and my grandson followed suit. Two pieces a piece. My father liked hot cake too. Now me, I prefer cold cake from the fridge and the frosting is the best part.
Tinned cod? Please say more.
Not eating anywhere near as many vegetables as I should be eating, I made a salad with mixed greens, red cabbage, tomatoes, dill pickles, chopped turkey, Parmesan cheese and a dressing made with the liquid from the canned grape leaves from yesterday (which I finished today), Gulden’s spicy brown mustard, dill pickle juice and balsamic vinegar.
I had a Bavarian (I guess…) soft pretzel baked in store from Smith’s Supermarket. Soft pretzels are something I also missed in Japan and only found them 2 or 3 times…and each time had VERY little salt on them. What’s a soft pretzel without salt?!?
Well done.
I really feel like pickles are an underused and underappreciated accoutrement in salads (not salad dressings, but the actual salad itself).
I wholeheartedly agree!
We appreciate you. Well, at least I certainly do.
And you will always have at least one friend here.
