2023 - Week 5 Cooking Results

Coconut Curry Chicken Noodle Soup

I added the 3 packs of noddles (recommends 2 or 3) so this was more noodles with a lot of liquid than actual soup. Even so, quite enjoyable. As the noodles absorbed more liquid the next day or two, it got even better. I used some of the lamb bone broth, that was leftover from making the lamb stew, since I was almost out of chicken stock.

Meatloaf and Smoked Gouda and Scallion Mashed potatoes

We ended up going out with Dave and Jo and went to Tulipa, Everything went well, until about the end when they had trouble finding money Dave’s change. Food was enjoyable and had a lot of nice flavors. I had a Pisco Sour, which I heard on some travel show, probably, and it was enjoyable. I could have a few of them.

We went to see Everything, Everywhere, All at once, for the second time, at the Varsity. I think I caught more this time around, still funny, serious and heart wrenching.

Delayed!

Turkey Sheet pan fajitas vaguely based on this

I ignored the avocado creama, I added my own spices to the turkey, bell peppers and onion. It turned out pretty well, enjoyable over all.

Had I not been distracted by problems with the Audio Return Channel from the TV to Sonos bar, I would’ve gotten dinner on the table much quicker. The TV speakers on their own sound like trash (also for some reason, the volume kept going up on the tv. I retrained the apple tv remote, rebooted the apple tv, but until I powered off both the Sonos and the TV, the TV wasn’t even recognizing the Sonos (Even if the weird display screen was there). Anyways, power cycling is annoying since all the power is tucked and packed away, so I just unplugged everything on that wall, waited a bit, and plugged it back in. The ARC was a choice again.

Egg and Ham Sandwich

One of the free hams, cut off a thinner ham steak, cut that up then topped with fried eggs and cheese on english muffins.

Ground Lamb Burger

lamb, salt and pepper, seared, a bit of cheese and a good dinner.

Bratwurst

Hot dogs! Pork! Good!
