Chopped salad using oak leaf and red tip lettuce, carrot, parsley, garlic, Vidalia, celery, red radish, yellow and green squash, and a few cherry tomatoes.

Ginger kombucha.

Monday was Brats and (scalloped) potatoes- Germany

Tuesday -we ordered Mexican. Our normal Mexican restaurant was closed due to viewing or rented out? Not sure.

Last night was Crepes (not really Belgian) with a delicious chicken and mushroom sauce. Belgian waffles (okay frozen store bought but good) with a homemade mix of chocolates and Nutella.

My daughter really likes Korean gochujang paste. I got a small container of it when I was in the international market a couple weeks ago. I marinated boiled tofu in soy, garlic, gochujang paste, and sesame oil. Stir-fried onions and zuchinni in olive oil and sesame oil, with a few pepper flakes. I cooked corn on the cob and cut about 1/2 cup off one cob. When the veggies were cooked, I fried the tofu in the same pan. Cooked a pack of plain ramen noodles for the base. I got about 2 servings. Garnished my dinner with some cucumber pieces. For the first try, it was pretty good

I got everything prepared in about 1/2 hour. Cooked the corn, set it aside, used the water to boil/simmer the tofu.

I will have some thing cold for dessert.

Nothing exciting.

Getting groceries tomorrow, so I’ll have something more interesting food-wise going on in the next few days.

8. Chili Lentils

Got up early and made a pot of green lentils, using veggie broth, tomato paste, minced onion and garlic simmered until tender. When almost done I add chili powder, cumin, chipotle powder, paprika, oregano and hot pepper flakes. I stirred in some cooked sweet corn and let it cool down and refrigerate. This dish gets thick when chilled so you can mold it on a plate that adds panache to what’s basically a peasant dish. Once on the plate they were given a dollop of salsa and accompanied with half an avocado and air-fried seasoned cauliflower. Cheers!🥂
