First pot roast of the season. I use Martha’s recipe and add parsnips to the veg mix. Total oven time for a 2lb, 3 oz roast : 4.5 hrs at mostly 300.

I could see the “men” in “ramen” originally being “mein”?

I remember reading about it once, although I’m not confident in the accuracy of the source - “lo mein” or “larmen” became “ramen.”

Ah, Wikipedia linked above says that ramen “takes its name from lāmiàn,” although it’s a different noodle.
It does make sense.
Last night: Cashew chicken with snow pea halves over Calrose rice.
A few mango chunks, too.

Earlier this week: Beef enchiladas. The big soup meat cooking this weekend made for this group of six enchiladas and a load to freeze for other uses.

Spaghetti and meatballs. I wouldn’t normally post but somehow in this seriously no-frills kitchen I’m in this week I produced my best meatballs ever. Not sure but think it must be that I only had big holes to grate the Parmigiano on…

That is one delicious looking plate of spaghetti & meatballs. Especially this time of year.

Mom and I have been playing a little game where we award points for emptying containers/packages from the fridge, freezer, or pantry. Three point for me tonight. Dumplings from our trip to Koreatowna few weeks ago, stir fry from a pkg of TJs frozen veggies plus last of another pkg of cooked frozen shrimp. Doctored up the sauce from sweet to mildly spicy

Tonight’s dinner was Sushi!! I didn’t have any imitation crab in stock, so I substituted in Tuna. So… these are not true “California Rolls”, but basically the same concept.
