Happy Birthday Joan🎂! Yesterday my husband and I had fish and chips at a great little seafood place in Dunedin. This was after a spring training baseball game game where we almost melted in the sun.
We had fresh salmon which I baked after a short marinate. I served it with a baked potato and a spinach salad. There is a fantastic fish market here on Gulf blvd in Redington Shores.
We had leftover steak pieces with seasoned Asian vegetables and a little curry sauce from TJ's. Served this with TJ's organic jasmine rice.
We had tacos with leftover beef which I had frozen. The beef was spicy but not taco-tasting. I substituted chopped celery for the lettuce. I had wrapped the celery in foil and it had stayed fresh for a couple of weeks. The cucumber I wrapped on the same day was mushy after a week. A lesson learned.
Sorry I missed your Birthday BA. Hope you enjoy the rest of the year.!
I decided to try ChatGPT and ask for a recipe using boneless skinless chicken thighs, tomatoes and sour cream. I specified making it in the oven. The site gave me an oven temperature and a vague idea on how to combine the ingredients. I chose what spices to add. It turned great. Since we are only here (FL) for 2 more months I don't want to buy a lot of ingredients to take back.
Did you make the biscuits?
I roasted a chicken breast which I marinated with oil, vinegar and spices. The spice I used peculiar to Florida (I think) was "Everglades". The spice is also known as "Monkey Dust"! It's mostly salt with a little msg, papain and spices. I roasted the breast for 20 minutes @ 450 and then topped it with a little honey mustard. It was perfect. I had marinated green beans to which I added roasted cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and chopped basil. Not having a toaster oven has been a real challenge. I did have to purchase a grill pan and small sheet pan. Oh well I will have something to look forward to when we go back April 1. The weather is an improvement over home.
Arrived in Florida on NYD and have been trying to fill my larder ever since. I tend to shop sales so I check out all the ads and find myself going to multiple stores. Found some interesting products at Homegoods like pomegranate glaze, avocado oil and Italian imported pasta. Last night we had salad with roasted chicken, cherry tomatoes, glazed pecans and the imported pasta for substance.
We always do Chinese for dinner on Christmas!
My mouth is watering for that trifle!
I made pork tenderloin topped with a peachy horseradish sauce. Forgive me if I am repeating myself but I find brining the pork with water, salt and sugar improves the texture of the meat. And I never bake it beyond 145 degrees.
I found a KA gluten free cookie mix at the discount grocery store. It had not expired. I added semi sweet chocolate chips to the batter. The cookies were pretty good!
I made mini pizzas on English muffins. I toast the muffins first and then bake them again with toppings. Yum!
Sad is a good word. Can folks in Minnesota enjoy the original honey crisps during its growing season?
