Thanks! I was very happy with my first attempt cooking these!

Spicy tawa chicken is good! Although ingredients and measures were followed, I changed up the order of things a bit by throwing in the onions shortly after the chicken, then peppers, dry masala and ginger/garlic paste. I just felt like having my onions more cooked today. The rest was pretty much the same. I did have to add some water to keep things saucy. If you’re going to make this, I recommend watching her short video to get an idea of the consistency of things as she cooks.
Sorry for the messy photo. I almost forgot to take a picture of the dish before it was gone.

I wonder how much 'trans fat ’ this thing has?!
Man! I must be looking at some sort of a record?!
I love everything Tomatoes! So, when I came across this attractive looking and bulky box of instant noodles - “ Rice vermicelli with Hong kong style, fatty, tomato and beef sauce/broth “ at my local Chinese supermarket today. I was curious and decided to take one home to try.
When I opened up the packaging and removed the contents. Lo and behold, I was totally stunned to see a total of ‘8’ individual pouches and packs came out! From the dried rice vermicelli to the condensed tomato paste/sauce, the thick beef meat sauce, sweet & sour sauce, spicy chili powder and a number of dehydrated vegetable and crackling condiment packages! This must be some sort of instant noodle record?!
To the finished cooked product, I augmented it with a few slices of home-made 5 spice braised beef shank. A sweet, tangy, savory and spicy soup base accompanied some velvety smooth and al-dente noodles! The condiments added some welcome textural contrast. All in all, a delicious and appetizing bowl of ‘intriguing‘ noodles.
Caveat: To the soup base I added only half a pack of the spicy chili powder …and that was enough to numb my palate and bring sweat to my forehead! So, beware!

After the last two nights of gluttony, lighter fare was on the menu: salad with avocado, flavor bombs, celery, blue cheese, bacon, topped with pan-seared thin chicken breasts I’d marinated in seasoned buttermilk. Didn’t quite get a proper sear due to their wetness, but did the trick anyway.

Shrimp, snow pea, and scallion stir fry from Simply Recipes. I’ve made it before, and will make it again.
Everything green from the garden.

I made pickled beet Reubens with veggie protein burgers in the middle for more heft. Really hearty and tasty. Roasted asparagus and tots on the side.

Less spicy. One jalapeño instead of any Thai bird for my spice wimp son. Who also didn’t like the texture of the ground toasted rice. I thought it was tasty.

Miyokos is the best butter alternative that I’ve tried, and
which I use for most recipes requiring butter (lactose intolerant family member). It also comes in a rectangular pkg. Best price I’ve found is at Costco, and it’s occasionally on sale at Whole Foods, where it’s otherwise pricey. I stock up when I find a deal - it freezes well in both forms.
