National Chopsticks Day ~ Monday February 6 2023

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

My breakfast!

What are you going to "stab" with your Chopsticks today?

 

[GinnyPNW]

No chopsticks for us, not today. I made DH his bowl of chicken broth for lunch. He finished it and announced he would have jello in a little while. I did NOT make any jello, as he insisted he did not want any jello. Sigh. Jello is now on a quick cycle in the fridge. Tick-tock, tick-tock....

Kgirl and I had Asian on our mind.

Bento box, from top left clockwise, shrimp and cod fish balls, watermelon radish and cucumber salad, sauteed spinach with togarashi, ramen noodles with edemame, carrots, red bell pepper and green onions, dipping sauce for the seafood balls in the center.

We had beef stew with scalded bread.

@Kathleen What is scalded bread?

We had Italian sausage and white bean soup. We had whole wheat baguette with that. We both ate too much. There seem to be almost enough leftovers for another meal.

We stopped at a bar and grill near Trader Joe's. It's always crammed, but being Monday,no football, and stopping at 8 PM, we were seated right away. We each had a burger washed down with beer. Himself had Bleu cheese sauce along with crumbled cheese stuffed in the middle of his patty. I had a mushroom Swiss burger. They offer hand cut skinny fries or fried onion strings...or half-and-half. Winner!

Shallow fried chicken strips, corn on the cob, and Knorr creamy chicken side dish.

Isn't it sort of like saying pizza pie?

Bento Boxes remind me of DC’s Ogress Supreme, PrincessFiona60.

Bento Boxes

While I was wandering the Internet looking at Sushi I stumbled onto a Bento Blog...yeah, bought the cook book, couple of odd items and ordered a Bento Box from Japan. This one: Kasuri Purple Flower 2 Tier Bento Box & Elastic Band Anyway, is there anyone else around who is interested in Bento...

Yeah, me too. I think a lot of us miss Princess Fiona.

You're right,  taxy. PF sure was special.

As far as chop sticks go.. I did eat some olive out of the jar with them, but the pretzels were by hand. I at least remembered to put the wine in a glass.
Another easy clean-up supper.
I should write a cook book on Easy Clean-up Meals!

I miss PF too.

@taxlady I am sure it has another name, but it was what Mom called it. Basically, it is white cornmeal dumped in boiling salt water. One makes it like the consistency of playdough. Patty it up, and shallow fry it in grease until crunchy on both sides. It goes great with beef stew. And is delicious buttered too.

My mom did that with leftover polenta. Served buttered with runny eggs.
