Dinner tonight - or last night.

When were you in Singapore? BTW, have you ever tried St Juliens? I took my friends there for dinner, because a friend who knows about restaurants around the world in our travel group recommended it. They're known for the "real" French cuisine.

A big bowl of mushroom/garlic spaghetti ... with lots chopped parsley tossed in at the end.
Yum.

I am always leery of mushrooms. This goes back to the combined efforts of Ray Bradbury and Alfred Hitchcock in the episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Special Delivery.

At least for now it can even be accessed through youtube



After seeing that, mushrooms on pizza, in a salad, in the trunk of a car, even in a can from B in B sitting on a store shelf gave me the shivers.

Poison mushrooms?
Why thank you, Sturgis.
So thoughtful!

Alfred Hitchcock Presents
What a blast from the past!

I'll watch it tomorrow.
Bed time now.
Good night.

Thank you very much, Sturgis, for posting the You Tube video! I had read the Ray Bradbury short story "Boys! Raise Giant Mushrooms in Your Cellar!" years ago, but had not heard of the Alfred Hitchcock Presents adaptation (written by Bradbury himself!). I just watched it this afternoon with my younger daughter. We enjoyed it!

too hot to eat

I've had some pink grapefruit juice and an ice tea

trying to think of anything tempting to eat

yogurt turned out to be the answer

Strange food at a local and convenient chain restaurant. Ms. Picky hasn't tasted such overcooked green beans in years and years; the roast turkey was some sort of manufactured item, and that all came with mashed potatoes and gravy, a large scoop of heavy carb dressing (as in "stuffing"), and two concrete corn muffins. Not to whine, it was there, a handy port in a storm, and the company was good.

I call it the weight gain plate, or it would have been if I ate it all.

Tonight we are going across the bridge to Tampa. There is a PF Changs there and I haven’t had their food since I moved to Florida, hmmm lettuce wraps and hot and sour soup.

Sounds pretty much like Boston Market chain, right?

We're off to dinner downtown, and I have a five day weekend

Yeah, we haven't seen one of your cooking pictures in ages....barely married and gave up cooking!

We’ve been so busy lately haven’t had much time to cook. Tomorrow night we will be having hot dogs at the Rays game but I plan on making a Sunday dinner. Stay tuned!

We had dinner out tonight because I didn’t have time to cook, it was a busy day! But stay tuned tomorrow!

We will!

Last night I cooked kedgeree (or an easy version of it). A traditional Anglo/Indian breakfast consisting of a somewhat unlikely combination of smoked fish (I used cod), rice, Indian spices, hard-boiled eggs, parsley & lemon juice & a few other ingredients ....

I'd come across so many references to kedgeree in so many novels about India & was really curious to find out what it actually tasted like.
Verdict: surprisingly good! (the recipe I used was a bit different to Jamie Oliver's (below) ) The lemon juice & rind at the end gave it a lovely tang & I was liberal in my use of the chopped parsley, which I love ...
Anyway, I was pretty impressed with the end result!

But for breakfast?
I don't think so!

My chicken cacciatore is cooking. Going to have it with rice and sauteed spinach. Antonio loves chicken and rice and this kid eats any kind of vegie you cook!

It looks mouthwateringly goo--oood!

Thanks! it smells good! it has to cook for 40 minutes until the meat is about to fall off the bone.

Yeah! The tomato sauce (acidic) can slow the cooking through down a little, I understand. You're sure getting good mileage out of that cooking course.

I have learned a lot from her. She was a chef for 30 years then retired, decided to start a part time cooking class. She’s vacationing now but I will be signing up again in August when she returns.

This weekend I’m going to be making Jewish penicillin.

Matzah Balls!
