It’s 2:30 pm and I haven’t had breakfast yet. I’m thinking of going to a Dennys like restaurant for a Mediterranean omelette. I got a 20% off coupon. That would be me meal for the day. Besides opening cans, going to restaurants is my speed. I hate cooking for one.

Baked some chicken legs coated with l'herbes de Provence for dinner, along with baked from frozen sweet potato fries, and some microwaved mixed veggies (carrot/peas/corn/cauliflower). The other meals were reheated leftover things I made the day(s) before.

I made sweet and sour chicken tonight, a little late celebration for Chinese New Year - it was good, not sure why I haven’t made it more often. Had it with some rice.

I baked two things in preparation for some friends visiting this weekend. The first is a Bishop's bread, which is an egg-white intensive sweet bread with chopped hazelnuts, lemon essence, and chocolate chunks. The other is a lemon cake that I also baked in a loaf pan. The lemon cake was only in order to use the leftover egg yolks that I didn't use in the Bishop's bread.
Breakfast and lunch were leftovers. For dinner...not sure yet, even though it's already after 6 pm. Maybe some Chinese appetizers. Lunch was big enough. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

I bought prepared food for one that usually last two meals. I got salmon over wild rice with broccoli. Instructions are to nuke it. But I switch it to an oven dish and bake it. Much better that way. Bought two pasta dishes too and salad kits. Just my speed.

We had a veggie Haggis last night, which was mostly lentil and oat based, because it was Burns night. Left overs tonight. I made this nice simple snack as the oven was on, roasted some almonds with paprika and a little chilli powder. |

I have never had Haggis, though it sounds like your version tonight is not the norm. A variation? A while back, my husband and I watched the movie called "Phanthom Thread" with Daniel Day-Lewis. There is a cool scene where he orders breakfast and asks for a long list of goodies, including Welsh Rarebit. I had heard of it, but never made it. He had no clue what it was, but from then on kept asking for it in a joking way. Then, one morning I pulled out my Fanny Farmer Cookbook and found a recipe for it and surprised him with it. He had no clue what was sitting in front of him. Needless the say, he did love it. I should make it again soon. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

@Soupe du jour when I was little I used to misread Welsh rarebit as Welsh rabbit glad your husband enjoyed it! I like that movie btw.
Yes very much a variation, original haggis has chopped offal (heart lungs etc) and I’m afraid I’m not a fan, I was vegetarian until recently and still not a fan of offal. Veggie version’s pretty tasty though, used green lentils. |

Lentils are wonderful. I love to cook with them, too. Like you, I'm not a big fan of offal. Most Americans aren't, other than maybe the much older folks. In Czech Republic, it's still pretty popular. One of the most common restaurant soups contains liver dumplings. Czechs also like sausages and other meat products with all kinds of stuff in it. There is also a popular goulash that translates to "Slaughter Day Goulash" that has pretty much all of the offals they have to use. And tripe soup is common. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

Yeah I was a vegetarian until menopause then I had very strong cravings for meat, but still no to offal. Still I choose fish over other meat most often, but strangely I love jerky. I can only afford it a couple times of years, cause yikes real jerky is expensive.

You can at least see the Bishop's Bread at Biskupsky Chlebiček (Bishop’s Bread) – Bird Flight but I know that's not very satisfying. It's a little unique, especially how my mother-in-law made it. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

Lol 😂 slaughter day goulash! That sounds like something my father’s family would have loved. They were farmers and my grandparents immigrated from Norway.

Your salmon with wild rice sounds good. I actually have salmon I was going to make tonight, but I was just too tired. Tomorrow. I wish I had wild rice on hand, but I don't. I usually always bake my salmon, unless I'm making something like a Teriyaki salmon preparation. I agree that baking it makes it nice and sometimes slightly crunchy on top. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

Funny thing: I also saw a cat food that included wild rice on the online grocery site. Pet food here is so funny. The buggers get stuff with venison, rabbit, pheasant, duck, and all kinds of stuff in it. They even sell dog food mixes with fresh chunks of meat, bones, and veggies that come refrigerated. So spoiled! Czechs love their dogs big time! When I first tried using the online grocer, I thought it was a human food mix. Good thing I didn't end up buying it. I was jealous, as the price was good. It's included in the pet section under the heading "Barf" of all names. I think they're going for "Ruff" or bark. __________________ Dx: Bipolar type 1 Psych Medications: * Tegretol XR (carbamazepine ER) 800 mg * Lamictal (lamotrigine) 150 mg * Seroquel XR (quetiapine ER) 600 mg I also take meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, and tachycardia. |

I like wild rice too, but we only have the mix here too and only in big stores, mostly I get basmati.
Oh that goulash sounds My husband worked in the Czech Republic many years ago and he said he liked kledniky (is that right? Dumplings?) Oh that’s interesting @Nammu that your grandparents came from Norway, do you still like special dishes from there? |

Cat food with wild rice?! How unusual. I don’t think my guy would like that. He doesn’t do human food. Since I’m in Minnesota I can get straight wild rice but yes it’s mostly mixed with other stuff. Oh how nice it would be nice to live where people love pets. Funnily Texas was more pet friendly than Minnesota. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
