Wasn’t pretty, but pretty tasty. A Reels video i saw of a Chinese prep for soft tofu and egg: soft scrambled in the wok, with a sauce of light and dark soy, chicken bouillon powder, oyster sauce, salt, corn starch and water. BF did the cooking. We both liked it, but it needed a little something (besides a makeover), so I added chili crunch at the table.

Hello, New England. :woman_shrugging:

Regardless of it being June, I was craving a meat loaf. Soooo…it was WWFD.

Roasted Garlic Meatloaf (3/4 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb. ground pork) with 1.5 Tbsp of roasted garlic, and grated onions each, an egg, Panko crumbs, dried Italian herbs and extra dried parsley, s/p, and a glaze of 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 Tbsp of the roasted garlic, 1 Tbsp of hoisin, and some balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and sriracha.

Creamy mashed sour cream potatoes with a mini butter pond and a sprinkle of fresh chives, and carrots, peas, and corn (the latter from last season).

There was wine.

And an after-rain pic of the chives on my deck railing.

Yesterday’s haze thinned out enough I was able to venture out this afternoon to visit two buildings as part of our annual Doors Open Ottawa. The first building I visited was a naturopathic cancer treatment centre and the second building is a new mosque downtown. The mosque is in a deconsecrated church so the stained glass windows and organ are intact and prayer rugs on the floor. The ladies from the mosque had a bake table set up so I bought some sping rolls and a mango cheesecake to have as part of my dinner tonight and a lemon poppyseed muffin for breakfast tomorrow. I was hoping to visit a photography school just west of the downtown core but two busses never showed up and they were being detoured all over the place so when I got to my destination the school was closed already :disappointed_relieved: But Chinatown is just up the street so I picked up some Thai chilis at the Chinese grocer then ran across the street to the Persian grocer for some labneh and hummus for breakfasts and lunches this week. On to dinner:

Two egg rolls to start. Thick wrapper and not much filling but the spice combination was nice.

Chana masala with a little spinach thrown in:

Mango cheesecake for dessert. It was very nice.
