  • Supper tonight.

    From Mike Duffy@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jun 3 22:13:49 2025
    Salad made from:

    1 cup white cabbage. (Inside a 'green' head),
    1/2 cup yellow carrot (NOT parsnip),
    Chicken from a frozen Costco precooked 'burger'
    with breading removed after heating enough,
    half an avocado, half a banana, small cucumber,
    half a yellow bell.

    Sauce made with ~30 ml (2 table-spoons)
    caramalized onion jam, ~15 ml (table-spoon)
    each turmeric paste, dill weed paste,
    maple syrup, honey, 'baby' mustard,
    7 ml (tea-spoon) each malt vinegar,
    black pepper, ginger powder, fenugreek powder.

    It was okay. I forgot I wanted to add pistachio
    butter due to the banana; maybe next time.
    Could do with a touch of hot sauce as well.

    Are all these measurements in imperial, or US or Asian?

    Your recipe is imprecise and very difficult to interpret. That's very
    unlike you.

    Are you well? I can refer you to accepted standards in measurements.

    I would describe Mike's confection as "Salade Hawaïenne à la Unca
    Tojo"...

    We had pork chops grilled on the gas BBQ, steamed broccoli and Greek
    Salad. I had not had a grilled pork chop in ages. I can see more in my
    future.

    Yes, and especially popular with north american police officers.

    It's as common as pickle-ball here.

    I used to steam broccoli but boiling is just easier and faster. I like
    to dump the broccoli in ice water to cool it down.

    That's very unlike you.

    I'll take the last sentence as a compliment.

    I thought I put US and metric, but as you
    pointed out, I did not say what cup I used.
    In this case it was my athletic cup - the
    only recently-washed cup I could find.

    I would describe Mike's confection
    as "Salade Hawaïenne à la Unca

    That reminds me. Next time I'll fry some
    Spam cubes mixed with pineapple trapezoids.

    Yum, pork chops are good grilled, fried, or baked!
    They're darn good in the air fryer, too.

    I do that when I blanche cauliflower

    It's a modern improvement on boiling them to death.

    Maybe it's like a well-timed, shorter, boil.

    Since the grill was already going, I would have grilled the

    We had pork chops grilled on the gas BBQ, steamed broccoli and Greek
    Salad. I had not had a grilled pork chop in ages. I can see more in my future.

    eons ago, like a couple decades, my wife had ordered garlic
    butter pork chops at a Bob Evan's restaurant. she instantly fell
    in love with them and they became a regular thing at home.

    ideally they are grilled, or broiled, and topped with home made
    garlic butter when done and stilling piping hot. that, we make
    by softening a stick of butter, adding minced fresh garlic to
    taste, mash together, and let sit in the fridge for at least a
    couple weeks to get happy. there's always a tub of garlic butter
    in the fridge.

    yum.
