Last day at the hospital and the cafeteria had a great meal for $8:

Hospital Pork chop.jpg

They called it Asian pork chop & wild rice with squash & cabbage. Bonus they included a cornbread muffin so we are going to use that with a bowl of veggie chilli tonight.

Currently in Tokyo. Been subsisting on Ramen, Yakiniku, Curry, Gyudon, and combini fried chicken and onigiri.

Took Dad back to hospital today so while we were there we picked up shrimp etouffee with white rice and Mediterranean veggies. It was a surprise and very good.

Grilled three colors of pepper with onion & chicken tenders. Add in lettuce, refried beans, rice, pico del gallo with mango, cheese and made quesadilla.

Cooked for 4 and still have enough to make chicken noodle soup tomorrow. All under $35.

I love cooking at home and since I was a cook in the Navy it does come in handy.

Today's dinner is vegetable soup, but to my parents it's beef vegetable soup. I put in the Gardein plant-based ground be'f with mixed veggies and a can of fire roasted tomatoes.

My family cannot have soup without a peanut butter & apple jelly sandwich. PXL_20240420_190444572.jpg

Today I took a twist on baked potatoes. I used a glass baking pan, buttered it. Then cut up several potatoes and onions, used chopped up rotisserie chicken and BBQ sauce. Then added cheese.

There was nothing left.

B-Lister: Japan has so many delicious foods to try. Don't forget to try the local food shops. They my not look like much but that was a where I usually find the best tasting food at an affordable price verses the names stores.

Preaching to the choir, bro!

My brother and I enjoyed a Chinese buffet yesterday, a little pricey...but satisfying. Braised pork was super tender and fatty , and the teriyaki chicken went well with a bit of white rice. Hell...I'd eat there everyday, but I'd end up broke and 600 pounds overweight..LOL

Palitoy: I love homemade chili, used to make it myself. Something so simple but everybody's is different.

Today I cooked an old family meal we haven't had in over a year. Tomato pork chops with potatoes and carrots (seasoned with sea salt, pepper and garlic). I cooked the green beans separate but I always put them together. It was good but I forgot the celery so the flavor was just a little off. PXL_20240417_194926440.jpg

Last night I arrived in Japan for my vacation. After some shopping we (my sibling and I) Decided on Yoshinoya. I had Gyudon and Karaage, and my sibling had Curry.

Killed our Hangry real quick!

Today for to fam I made chicken fried steak with homemade mashed potatoes & gravy with collards and biscuits.

Again my bf gives me that look of "where is the rice?". I told him our meals have changed now that I have to cook for family. It means he only gets to eat rice 2 out 3 meals a day.

Let's start up a thread about what your eating/ cooking.

My boyfriend so an omelette on an Asian show and has been after me to create it.

Banana omelette:
I have tried this twice and still haven't perfected it. The second time I tried it with ham and drizzled it with caramel syrup and served it with Mooala chocolate banana milk.

I'm struggling with the banana omelette...I just can't taste the banana and eggs working together. I can totally see banana crepes - that would be delish. But banana omelette...the yolk is stopping me. Maybe an egg white omelette, or really, how about a plantain egg white omelette? Fry up the plantains and caramelize some sugar...maybe some nutmeg and a little salt...I dunno.

We just came from the Blue Jackets game, where I had coffee & Timbits. We got Chipotle on the way home and made it in time to see Jeff Rimmer signing off of his last game in the broadcast booth. Good stuff - he's a class act.

I am back cooking for four. If I do not cooking at least one meal for my parents they eat junk food ( they say it's easier).

Dinner I fixed hamburger steak, mashed potatoes and peas with a side salad. PXL_20240414_180842646.jpg

It amazes me, growing up we had a big garden. Now that my parents have retired and after the hospital visit, they eat more junk food than real food unless I cook it for them. I now have a big garden so the roles are now reversed.
