I made pizza tonight using up a couple cups of spaghetti sauce that I cooked down till thick,then added,sausage,onions,bell pepper,mushrooms,pepperoni,black olives and cheese used a pizza crust recipe I've made before and all was good.Left overs for lunch tomorrow.

I bought a pork shoulder and remove the shoulder bone which is much harder than deboning a chicken thigh but similiar in concept. I divided the meat in two parts and was going to make two batches of Char Siu from different recipes, one with most of the fat removed and one with it intact. I've cooked the lean one and it is good but slightly dry -- probably overcooked by about 10 minutes; but I am having second thoughts about having Char Siu with layers of fatty pork and fatty pork skin. It is suppose to be very tasty but I actually remember having digestive problems with very fatty roast pork. I think I'll let discretion rule and remove the excess fat before cooking this.
I used the shoulder bone for pork bone soup/broth flavored with 1/2 onion and a little ginger. I don't know what I am going to do with this. Pork dumplings from the grocery store?
Oh this took 1 1/2 hours to cook so I had a nice warm oven for a long time!

On Monday, I made my adaptation of my mother’s hamburger stroganoff, which we had over brown rice with microwaved peas on the side. I find it handy to bring my rice cooker on vacation, since it is never certain what kitchen equipment will be available.

I roasted four whole chicken legs for dinner tonight. The oven at the place where we are staying was not accurate, and we ended up putting them into the microwave to finish cooking. We had the chicken with spinach noodles and steamed broccoli.

I made a small pork roast yesterday. Leftovers today.
