One evening, I was not in the mood to go out to eat because the weather is so hot. I was also not in the mood to sweat in the kitchen. But I don't mind cooking plain rice porridge because I can just let the porridge cook over a low flame without having to spend time in the kitchen. Then I went to check out to see what I can serve with the porridge. Then I found the following items.
There was a packet of frozen chicken roulade (smoked) in the freezer.
A packet of Laminaria Japonica (seaweed).
A packet of crunchy bamboo shoot.
All the above items were new to me and I bought them from one of the shops in my area.
I steamed the chicken roulade and cut it into thick slices.
The bamboo shoot and seaweed, I served direct from the packets.
This was quite tasty.
Crunchy bamboo shoot is nice and hubby ate most of it.
This seaweed was so so only. Hubby don't like seaweed, so I finished it all by myself. So, that settled our simple dinner.
I would like to learn just one thing from you:
Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law,
or by believing what you heard? Are you so foolish?
After beginning by means of the Spirit,
are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?
Have you experienced so much in vain - if it really was in vain?
(Galatians 3:2-4, New International Version-NIV)
I'm off processed meat too - no more ham, bacon, luncheon meat, sausages...all the things that I love so much! Sobssss!!!! I can't eat bamboo shoots. Cold! May trigger a gout attack.
ReplyDeleteActually too much processed meat is not good for us. Oh, I didn't know about bamboo shoots. I love bamboo shoots.
DeleteSeafood looks different from the package. I am a huge fan of seaweeds and ate lots of them when I was at home.
ReplyDeleteI seldom have seaweeds because I will be the only one eating.
DeleteRice and chicken slices would be perfect for me: simple and tasty! Good choice, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThe chicken slices would be perfect to go with rice.
DeleteGood cooking ~ enjoy ~ Xo
