What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

Liverwurst on rice cakes, cottage cheese, chunked avocado, tomato and strawberries with a tiny bit of oil & balsamic vinegar.

I think some dessert of Tillamook orange and cream ice cream is in the near future.

Yet another gastronomic disaster!!! But I learned that if you are making Thai butter steamed shrimp with glass noodles DO NOT use frozen shrimp the extra water in the frozen shrimp make the glass noodles turn to a mushy glop ....... not a texture that adds to the eating experience. Ordered out ..... KFC extra crispy. ( a possible psychological counter to the mushy noodles??).

One of my favorite meals is cold, leftover extra crispy chicken, shredded, meat and crispy skin with roasted chicken ramen poured over it. The crunch is still there.

You have posted about those rice cakes before but I forgot which ones you mentioned/recommended.
 
Webspoon world guy ( I still think he's Ukrainian but I could be wrong) made something with caramelized onions and Ramen I have to try.
It is the first segment of the video

Polenta with shrimp, not two things I would have thought would go together but it sounds good. Gotta try making it here in Oregon because I'll never go to Venice to sample it. The thought of visiting a place floating on top to 1600 years of sewage is slightly off putting.

Looks delicious and I will try it soon. We were in Venice for a conference 10 years ago. It's exquisite and romantic. The people there take the beauty and art for granted. How wonderful it must be to be surrounded by their history and the enjoyment of life. If you go nowhere else in Italy, go there.
 
I took my grandson to see Lilo and Stitch. Ate too much popcorn and Raisinettes. So much fun and the little actress is a delight. We ordered some Vegetable Lo Mein on the way home. I'm stuffed.

I would recommend Lundberg Farms brown rice cakes, but they're pricier, so what I use is Quaker brand (not that they're cheap). I use the plain white rice cakes for meats or cheese, and get flavored ones for snacking. Gluten free bread is very expensive so using rice cakes instead of bread sometimes helps stretch my dollar. They're also very light and have a little crunch. The carmel flavor is my favorite sweet one (great with pb).
 
I made a Trattoria Tortelloni bake. It's basically cheese filled pasta with a creamy tomato sauce cooked in a pan and then baked with panko and cheese on top. I liked it. We'll see what my wife thinks when she gets home.

You have been eating 'fancy' lately and it all sounds really interesting !
 
Had the Mormon Funeral Potatoes. They were pretty good. I think, though, we will stick with a baked potato when we have steak. It makes way too much for two people. It should be a good casserole to take to a party or a pot luck supper.

So the added milk did the trick?

Over many years as long time camp owners in Ontario, a canoeist in northern Quebec's remote rivers and a quick tripper to the Maritimes I've come to respect and admire the Canadian government 's intelligent social and financial policies and what they represent of the philosophy of Canadians in general. There are several examples but I think given the current situation in the US the most interesting one is Quebec's immigrant policy. Immigrants are welcomed with a small temporary stipend that includes temporary housing to ease the transition, immersion French lessons are available if needed, job hunting assistance, official government help in getting the rest of the family to Quebec from countries with hostile immigration and official help with citizenship are all availible . Immigration and the services were open to all nationalities, races and religions. I encountered it first hand during a summer's study at Laval University, rather a long time ago. Maybe it has changed. I hope not.
