I actually made the Creamy Garlic Pasta (IT WAS GOOOOOD!), but the chicken for the salad has been sitting in my fridge for a bit. Hopefully I can get them cooked tonight and make the salad tomorrow.

And save the crunchiness for you (no nuts)

I'll put something together and pm you. I tend to create some things as I go based on the pantry supplies but I do love miso and have a lot in my fridge.

Thank you! Sadly, I don't know to cook so whenever I try to wing it, the food doesn't taste good.

Made a great vegetable curry tonight to serve over the left over brown rice. The curry was south India style, not too hot but a good after burn.

Trick was to use lots of the veggies I had and cook it all in a pressure cooker.... no jokes please... as my oven is not in my kitchen during the redo.

I also added tofu and Devil's Tongue or Konnyaku for a meaty base. That is a challenge as Devil's Tongue takes a bit of cooking to get done.

Overall a success but should have precooked the Konnyaku longer, it was a bit tough.

I am cooking corned beef for dinner tonight. Yum.

Last night I made sweet and sour pork and fried rice. That was yum too.

I showed my sister the shiritake (sp?) page, and she told me she had once bought and cooked it for us to try. Turns out we didn't like it. Hehe....anyways....

Dinner tonight will be a plethora of fruit, cheese, pepperoni (with some ants on a log thrown in). Not a lot, but ran out of calories when I decided I wasn't going to pig out until a new week, but had already drank a coke.

Jamaican Jerk Chicken, but I'm not expecting to have it for dinner tonight. It's intended to keep me from starving to death through the coming weekend at work. I'll probably end up microwaving something for dinner. I have some very nice beef stew.

I like to experiment using up things I have in my pantry and mixing them with fresh items.

Last night I took some fresh cod fillets cut into 4-5 inch pieces. I added some salt and pepper and some minced herbs, basil and chives. Then I covered each piece of cod with some slices of smoked salmon that needed using up. I wrapped each fillet in 2-3 layers of filo dough that also needed using before it dried out in the fridge. Brushed liberally with olive oil as I rolled each parcel up.

Now the tricky part is we don't have any kind of oven in the kitchen as we are remodeling and the old oven broke (different thread) so I am using a propane smoker outside, kind of an upright box with a burner at the bottom and several shelves. It does get up to 400 degrees F so baking works, it is just a bit tricky.

It came out great and I served it with potato pancakes (again using up left overs) and fresh asparagus.
