earlybird, whenever I want second helpings, I think of you and say to myself, I need to keep my portions small like earlybird does. It doesn't always work though. haha....

ITRR - I like picked vegetables too. Mustard greens, kimchi, carrots, cauliflower, sauerkraut, green cabbage, jalapenos. All taste great pickled.

I had never had sour pickled mustard before today but, I am hooked forever.

Those spicy mustard greens and the salty pickled is just yummilicious.

I found them at the local oriental market. I recommend them.

I haven’t had pickled greens. Sounds good though. I have only had them fixed the southern way. My husband won’t eat them.

I always tease him. How can a person from New Orleans not eat crawfish, oysters and red beans and rice? Everyone eats that here! Well, just about everyone, hahaha. Not my husband!

He eats other seafood. He’s embarrassing! He has brought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to crawfish boils before! That’s crazy!

Too tired too cook or shop. Still have an empty fridge and freezer. Will pick up soup and sushi. Didn’t eat earlier, wasn’t hungry but want to eat now.

Hubby just woke up! The nurse said he would be tired from being sedated.

My husband is ready to eat something too.

earlybird: Thank you. It is a great soup. I nailed it the second time I made it. The first time it was more like a stew became you have to shred the pork and I had not shredded it enough.

Llama, like the ingredients in your soup recipe. I would like to make it when I get a chance. You took the time to write it out and I will take the time to make this delicious sounding soup.

Golden,

Do you remember what spices and curry paste she taught you to use? How wonderful that you had a lady from India teaching you. What did you use? I'd like to do a seafood one, maybe shrimp.

eb -yes I look at a couple of recipes online if it is something unfamiliar then put together what seems good to me, and taste my way through it. It's been years since I made a pumpkin soup. Coconut milk works well for soup or white sauce. I am allergic to all dairy.

nhwm - I made curries years ago but haven't for a long time. I learned from a lady who had lived in India.

Golden,

Do you make curry? I haven't ever made it and I love it.

EB,

That's what I call a 'dump and pour' cook! It is fun to experiment. Sometimes it comes out great. Good cooks can wing it!

After power outage I threw all of my food out so NOTHING is for dinner. Not really hungry anyway. Just glad that the only damage we had were tree branches all over our driveway and yard.

We are grateful. Others have a lot more damage from Hurricane Zeta and sadly there are a few deaths.

Will go food shopping tomorrow. Some places are open, some closed. Zeta made a mess in our state. The storm was predicted to be a cat one storm, ended up being a strong. cat 2 storm, just about a category 3.

Lots of power outages. Some areas will take about ten days to restore.

One good thing is it was a fast moving storm that blew through quickly. Now it's clean up time in the city. We are used to it. Debris everywhere.

EB - sounds awesome.

I made a spicy creamy coconut milk pumpkin soup with a splash of lime juice. Couldn't do it again but it was good and I have left overs for the next couple of days. I had some roasted opo squash with it and a cassava flour tortilla. I'm stuffed.

Took my brother out for his birthday at a very nice rustic restaurant. I was so impressed with the staff. Only thirty customers are allowed at a time and before Covid it was 140 seat capacity. Food was excellent. Decadent spice cake with toasted pecans and bourbon ice cream with spicy apple slices .I rated the restaurant 5 stars. Wonderful server.

Didn’t realize that they bled.

nhwm - beets vare messy as they bleed colour when you peel or cut them in any way. The canned ones are already peeled.

Fresh beets, preferably with the greens so I can saute them for a lovely, delicious green treat.

NHWM, they bleed when you cut them. Easily cleaned up, you do want to wear gloves to save your nails though.
