Ah. "Ying LIng"
Must be the Deutscher in me, 'taters make everything better!
ditalini pasta I might have to try that with something that has a cream sauceWife has taken to making a "gumbo". I put that in quotes because I've been reliably informed that if it doesn't start with a roux, it ain't gumbo.
Spicy Chicken Soup starts like the above, To the chicken stock she adds okra, ditalini pasta, onions, peppers and a healthy splash of thick-and-chunky salsa. Like many things, the longer it sits in the fridge, the better it gets.
When I worked in Africa, one of the other engineers was a Scot and he used to make "Banana Butties" which was a piece of bread with a banana all smashed up and spread on it - like butter. He told us that a "buttie" could be made out of nearly anything that can be mashed up and spread with a knife.
I think I might try one of those things again!

I always use peanut butter to keep the `nana's stuck to the bread sometimes cut the `nana's lengthwise other times into little discs and sometimes go all out and add a layer of Strawberry Preserves to the mix!
Maybe I could sneak into the fish hatchery a couple miles down the road and see what they have there!Go get some local trout (if you're allowed to go out!). Soon, we'll be past the "peak", moving into to walleye season (around here), and the opportunity for another food source! Yum! More empty plates!
- - - I will be digging up some wild leaks(AKA in some places as ramps)much smaller that the leaks sold in the store but also much stronger until cooked. These will be used to cover the salmon for supper. Mix up some Soy Sauce, brown sugar, veg. oil and water. Toss in some ground pepper and garlic powder. Chop up a handfull of the leaks and let set for an hour or so. Then wrap loosely in aluminum foil and cook on the grill for about 20 minutes while the rice cooks on the stove.
Hi Ken,
had me a serious WTF? moment until it occurred to me that Americans can't spell.
Those wild onion-cousins you are gathering ain't leaks, they're LEEKS!
That settled, nice recipe, thanks.
Brussel sprouts: This is just what I do. Seasoning: Rosemary, lemon, pinch of salt.Brush with olive oil and a sprinkle of some seasoning mix then cook in the grill while the salmon is baking. The outer leaves get a little burnt and have a nutty taste.
Peanut butter and sliced grape sandwiches. just had one, yesterday in the basket of my cruiser bike on the bike path at Sandy Hook, one of the last parks open in the state. It's a National Park. Just talked to the young mom, next door. I told her what I read in the paper from a neurosurgeon from Columbia Prebspeterian in NYC. He said the general consensus is that due to the rapid spread of the coronavirus in the US and the world, they have reason to believe the vast majority of people have been infected, already. (And I'm sure a lot of you heard this.) She then confided to me she believes that is the case as two of her young boys were sick in early February. One required breathing treatments and the other just an inhaler. Her oldest, a daughter, 7 was not affected. My wife and I went to Robert Woods Johnson Rutgers University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ on Dec 30, '19 to see a doctor. I received a flu shot while there. (Rutgers University was the first college in the state to close to prevent the spread of coronavirus.) Two days later, my wife had chills and was in bed for 3 days with a headache, aches and pains and fatigue. On Jan 5, I was sick and wiped out with a severe headache, nausea and vomiting for 3 days, then achy and fatigued for 2 more weeks and congested and short of breath for 3 more weeks after that. At the time, I suspected we both had a 48 hour virus as the acute symptoms lasted for a short time, but my fatigue and continued body aches led me to believe I may have gotten the flu, instead. My brother had a persistent sore throat and congestion for the whole month of January and into February. (I keep a daily log of activities, so I can tell you what I had for lunch on March 31, 2018) Just four days after getting out of bed, we had a record high temp of 70 degrees in early January, so we took a walk on the beach in Sandy Hook, then went to a steamy, crowded Irish pub in Belmar, just 15 miles south of the Hook, loaded with families, young kids, teens, all with their parents. In January, no one mentioned the possibility of the coronavirus being on these shores. Then the CDC said the reason it spread so quickly was probably due to it being here weeks before it was detected. This might be good news for most of us.I always use peanut butter to keep the `nana's stuck to the bread sometimes cut the `nana's lengthwise other times into little discs and sometimes go all out and add a layer of Strawberry Preserves to the mix!
