Creamed Corn with Naan, Coriander and Toasted Spices

I ended up using the corn in the noodles. So I’m just going to pass on this.

Baked Macaroni and Cheese with peas and tuna

I do like this baked Macaroni, and even though I’ve been filling up meals with more vegetable forward dishes, again, as I should’ve been doing all along, I brought this out for another time. This in the making comforting food, I added peas and tuna.

I was in a rush, because the last wheel on the dishwasher gave up the ghost, so I started the search for replacement wheels, which are, sold individually, and $10-15, and the tray has 8 wheels. So I have to gently balance the rack on the stubs, that the wheels expand a bit. I ordered 4 of them.

After searching and being shocked at the prices, I quickly got the dish going again. I cut some time off the prep time, and it still came out very well. In fact, when I added the tuna, the cats didn’t even notice, because it went from adding the peas, tuna, stirring and in the pan in about 2 minutes.

Good dinner, and I do think the cats noticed the tuna smell after, but they were not quite sure of where it was from.

Pan-Fried Ginger Noodles

I proper messed this one up. Normally I have some trial and errors in the amount of translating a normal ingredient into a dried version of it. For an inch of ginger I use about a teaspoon of dried ginger, for some reason my brain translated it to tablespoons, so this became just to gingery to eat for the most part. More or less unrecoverable. I forced myself to finish most of my dish, but then swapped out for pretzels at some point.

Sausages and Mashed Potatoes

Some bangers, baked in the oven, and I was expecting something more home made about the mashed potatoes, but it really turned out to be more of pomme puree type of dish., which I wasn’t quite expecting. Though the added savory flavor was a bit different, enjoyable, but not the cream butter salt pepper potato that I would have expected and always ties well with a banger.

Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

I have made this a few time before. It is simple to do, warming and filling.
