2020 - Week 46 Cooking Results

Why All the ham? We get gift certificates for a free choice of a handful of items, and we (me) usually end up choosing ham. We still had a ham from last year in the freezer, so before adding two more hams… Ham dishes!

Chicken and Cauliflower in Garam Masala–Tomato Sauce

I had to make a couple of adjustments as I was working my way through this. I, perhaps, had more chicken (the CostCo packs don’t always line up, so I either go more or less, depending), so I adjusted the garam masala up, I ended up having to add a bit more tomatoes, as the chicken would’ve not been fully covered. At the end I added a bit more cream. Pretty good, I suspect I’ll be eating this for a few days.

Fried Rice with Ham and Peas

In listening to recent podcasts, about the whitening of a thing, and I through this seems like perhaps a prime example of this. But what do I know, I’m not an expert at the history of fried rice, but it was a thought that came into my head. It still was good. I made extra rice for the Chicken and Cauliflower dish (using the last of the basmati rice), to use for the fried rice. I then prepped everything and executed. A good and easy Saturday meal.

Ham and Egg Sandwich

Simple, good.

Pasta

This is a thing I just make. It usually consists of sausage, onion, tomatoes, Italian herbs or one type or another. I may augment it with things on hand, or not, depending if my brain thinks they might go together or not.

Fish (for real this time, probably)

Yellowfin tuna, Simple preparation, a little bit of salt, a bit of oil, turn a couple of times (underestimated the length of time to get to an internal temp of done). Served with a simple salad. Good meal.
