Not an Update: Thursday 27 Mar

This is not an update, it's a food dump.

Fried rice! I'm pretty sure this particular one had multigrain rice (white rice, brown rice, wild rice, barley and wheat), onion, broccoli, green beans, brussels sprouts, asparagus, carrots, red peppers, garlic, egg, and the kitchen sink. Oh, and ginger, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. I've been making a lot of fried rice lately. I love fried rice!







This is that same multigrain rice, and some random vegetables sautéed with tomato paste and Indian spices. I made this one quite a while ago, and all I remember about it was that it was delicious.

Soup. Obviously. This one was also quite a while ago, and I don't remember exactly what was in it, but obviously it had corn and diced tomatoes and zucchini and onion and pasta and mushrooms. Also, Italian herbs.

Potato chips, baked in the oven. They were awesome, but time consuming and honestly a pain in the butt to make. I would make them all the time if it wasn't for that.















Applesauce, which I made yesterday. I used 3 sweet apples and two sour apples and it didn't end up needing any sugar at all.

















This is chow mein, even though it's the wrong kinds of noodles. It was really good. They don't make/sell chow mein here. They sell some kind of Indonesian fried noodle dish instead, because there is a lot of Indonesian influence in the culture here.

I don't think that anything can really make split pea soup look good. I have to admit, I contributed nothing to this dish, you can buy a package in the store for "Dutch split pea soup" and you're supposed to add smoked sausage and bacon but I don't need those. Basically I chopped everything in the package and cooked it, but that's about it. Delicious anyway.

Noodle soup, and a softboiled egg. First time making softboiled eggs, I wasn't sure if I would like that yolk like that. I did, so it all worked out perfectly.










That's all the pictures I could find. One day, when I actually have fridge space and cupboard space, I will be able to buy the stuff I need to make nicer dinners, but I think I do pretty well with what I've got. Tonight I'm making chili, with black beans and kidney beans and sweet potatoes and quinoa, and a chipotle bouillon cube (among other things). Sounds kind of busy, I know, but that's okay.
