I made shrimp tacos tonight paired with Laura’s Mexican street corn.
The tacos were made with pre-cooked shrimp marinated in Dan-o’s Tac-o seasoning, olive oil, and lime juice. I lightly roasted the shrimp in the oven and put them in warmed street taco shells with cojita cheese and lettuce with a squirt of more lime.
Laura said they were good, and for that I am glad.
We ordered pizza from Domino’s for dinner tonight. The delivery driver who did a good job saw the Linux t-shirt I was wearing, and we struck up a very short conversation about our favorite distro. He said he was a casual Linux Mint user while I am a Zorin OS guy myself. It’s cool when nerds find connections with one another.
The Soup Diva is working her magic in our kitchen tonight, preparing something warm and comforting on a cold night. It’s a great Thai dish.
My Missus the Soup Diva made a tasty, savory Thai soup. It was a bowl full of warmth and love on a Saturday night.
Everyone is trying to stretch their food dollar. We went to the Dollar Tree store after work and I challenged myself to make a meal from ingredients I found there.
So I found some ham, stir-fry veggies, rice, and some teriyaki sauce, so I did a ham stir-fry.
So I put in the veggies, ham, a scrambled egg and rice and after a few minutes of cooking it turned out alright. I should have added more fat and some garlic and pepper. Otherwise, it was a decent first attempt. All total, it was just over $9 to make for two people. I will try it again sometime.
This is my culinary experiment of the week or something like that. It’s my barbecue beef cottage pie. It’s an easy-to-make concoction of sauteed onions, ground beef, barbecue sauce, mashed potatoes (made with potato flakes), and cheese. It turned out to be tasty. You could make it with ground turkey, ground chicken, or sausage if you prefer. It’s a good Tuesday night dinner.
