Just like "In Your Head" or "What are you Listening To?":
What's on the stove at this very moment? (Or the microwave or the Barbeque or the George Foreman Grill, etc?)
Pork Chops simmering with salt and garlic powder, Jasmine rice in the rice cooker, and soon a salad with romaine lettuce. (Exciting, huh?)
Nothing is on the stove at the moment. But a couple of hours ago it was soba noodles with soy/ginger sauce (a la Annie Chun) with baby bok choy and a little spinach. Garnished with seaweed flakes (which didn't really go with the sauce).
Also simmering away as I was preparing dinner was 2 batches of soap, one was mint and the other was lavender/rosemary.
In about 1 minute. a kettle will be fired up for a pot of lemon zinger/decaf green tea.
How ironic fealola, I was cooking pork chops too. Dinner was a few hours ago. Now I need to clean up.
Well in Boston it would be time for decaf!
I'm drinking a cup of irish breakfast tea.
Just finished my soup, from the second day roast chicken with lemon and garlic. I always add water to the roasting pan and some sherry, so I had a couple of cups of that, bereft of its fat, simmering with the chicken and some sliced mushrooms and, oh, five garlic cloves, and a bunch of that mexican jar of bouillion grunge, and several cups of water... to cook down. Added frozen peas originally purchased for the Pacco at the last minute. Not enough noodles so I chopped up some spaghettini to flit in and add body. It did.
Damn. I know I won't have empty nest when the time comes. I'll be able to eat like ahuman being again. Like Osso.
So, colorbook, how'd y'do your pork chops??
Now, only coffee. Bad coffee. No one here can make good coffee.
i'm not cooking anything (being 11:45 in the morning and at work) but I AM ordering bbq catering. does that c ount?
Sure. Right now? For lunch? mmmmmmmmmmm
for office luncheon on thursday.
Hmm, I haven't eaten yet, and this thread's making me hungry. Er, I think it'll be a can o' soup, probably with some ramen thrown in, stuff I can eat in front of A2K. :-D
I cook better stuff for dinner (usually).
Just heated up left over spaghetti with meat sauce.
I had Ramen yesterday for lunch!
Lunch will be chinese chicken salad, kung pao chicken, and chinese barbecue chicken. A triple C.
Garlic, oil and parsley cooking on my stove now. Soon to be marinara sauce.
Leftover peanut chicken....stocks going for the weekend, Mrs. cav at the LOTR convention and all...
