What's for tea at your house tonight?

Fish and Chips (homemade - ok, well, home cooked, Mrs. Somebody or Other has pre-made them for me!).
I need to clear the freezer out a bit since I want to make tamales for Christmas and there's no room in there for them. The fish box and the chips bag take up a lot of space, so... good excuse to have chips for lunch, too. 

I've been ill with some kind of mini flu (I guess?) for a few days... I did get the flu shot a few weeks ago, and this sure felt like flu - just not as bad. (I've had the flu bad before & it lasted nearly three weeks.) Throat & chest congestion, headache, cough, running fever, fatigue, light headed...ugggggh, but at least slowly getting better.

BUT the boy has cooked for us the last several days. I made chicken soup on Wednesday night & then that was it. He's been in the kitchen. He made bangers & mash & black kale on Thursday. Pizza last night. I'm not sure yet what's on tonight - he's making it downstairs. And Sunday roast tomorrow.

And huzzah, at last the PC is fixed! I've been on it for more than 30 minutes now & it hasn't crashed once.

My wife is out of town and the kids have persuaded me to drive to Westfield and eat something called a sushi burrito. Apparently it is a sushi roll that's as big as a burrito and you put toppings inside?

Then it's over to the ice cream stand

Roast pork with sweet and sour cabbage.

I already ate my lemon cake with lemon cream cheese  frosting so no picture. Now I need a chocolate cake with espresso frosting for later tonight.

I am just about back to the land of the living, still a head full of cold though. Think it's going to be homemade chicken noodle soup again tonight (my turn to cook again) because it was so good last week & we're nearly at the bottom of the veg as the new box doesn't come until Wednesday.

What did you think of it? I preferred the poke bowls at the place in Buffalo that did sushi burritos. They were too messy otherwise. But my friends and I had regular bubble tea and sushi meetings at that restaurant once it opened.

It seemed awfully small, it's really nothing but a sushi roll that hasn't been cut up





I'm not a massive fan.

Afterwards, we went to an ice cream place similar to a cold stone creamery except they poured the cream and made the ice cream right then.  It was okay as well, but I just hate malls. 

That is smaller than the one I had in the US but it just seemed like a big roll of sushi. Also why I liked the bowls more, more rice and good stuff to go with the sushi.

I'm making chicken and roast veg for my husband tonight, blended roast veg soup for myself. Making the liquid diet work without my husband getting too bored. I hope I can eat real food again soon.

chicken & noodles in a creamy sauce... doing it in the slow cooker.

I just finished wolfing down an amazing version of creamed chipped beef/sh*t on a shingle.

I had a big tub of really peppery pastrami shavings/trimmings, and thought that would be a good way to use them up, but i didnt have any flour to make a sauce with.  But I *did* have a tub of cheese sauce granules (like gravy granules), so i made up a cheesey sauce with that, and added the pastrami to it... got it nice and hot and bubbly and poured it over toast.

Was the best tasting thing I've eaten in ages!

Beef pho soup with noodles... from my brand-new slow cooker!

taco salad

taco salad again... romaine lettuce with beef tomatoes, spicy steak mince, shredded cheddar, sliced black olives, a sprinkling of sliced radishes, Hidden Valley ranch dressing, and freshly fried strips of corn tortillas.
