I made a casserole of beets,green bean,mushroom, onion, turnips, risotto, white rice, olive oil, balsamic cinegar, vegetable soup stock and then this is the "Sort of: part -I put some provolone cheese on top.

eating a piece of this with a giant glass of milk for lunch followed with a long nap

I butterflied a young chicken (cut out the backbone and laid it flat). I removed the skin (except the wings, they are a pain to skin), spiced it down and baked it. I have plenty left over but I ate plenty and so did the dogs. For dessert the dogs got carrot, apple andcheese chunks; I had an apple.

It is in the oven right now - vegetarian lasagna. (onions, mushrooms, spinach, red and green bell peppers - and for heat I sprinkled Chili 3000 on one layer to test it out).

Christmas classic: homemade gingerbread gelato

Summer version - lots of raspberries and nectarines

Recently Yumi and Lee invited us round to meet their new arrival and cooked some super Korean food.

Amman, Jordan.

I spoil myself

I cubed some chicken breast and sauteed them in Jamaican Jerk seasonings and then finished cooking them with rice, saffron, pimentos, green beans, corn, carrots and peas. It made 4 serving of 7 points each on the Weight Watcher's Points Plus system.

I peeled the kohlrabi and diced it up and microwaved it for 5 minutes. I popped some brown mustard seeds in olive oil, added vegetable soup stock, garlic, onion, diced tomatoes, green chilies, turmeric, cumin, white pepper, a little salt, red curry paste, the kohlrabi greens and stems, and added the diced kohlrabi and cooked it on low heat for about 25 minutes until the sauce thickened.

It was great. I had never tried kohlrabi before.

I made myself an Omelette to using the recipe that contestants on "The Worst Cook" show to see how difficult it was - almost everyone over-browned there omelette - and so did I! But it tasted great.

My second hobby, food... eating it I mean :-)

I slow cooked some chicken in a Jamaican Jerk Sauce with added peppers. I cooked a bunch. I ate a little with rice and saved the rest for future meals.

I made chicken (breast meat) cooked with red and green peppers, hot cherry peppers, onion, fresh garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, hot paprika and tumeric. I served it on long grain white rice.

I gave the dogs some rice, provolone cheese and sliced roast beef.

Indisk kryddret hvidkål.

Fresh tuna - I made it for dinner. As you can see in the left upper corner, Jimmy Dean was interested in what it was, Link is off to the right.

I gave some to all three of the boys, they loved it - it was the first time they had tuna.

I used red curry paste, yellow powdered curry, tumeric, a sweet red pepper, yellow onion, minced garlic, chicken soup stock, 8 ounces of diced chicken breast, a little cabbage, 1/4 cup of white rice, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Entire bowl is 14 points on Weight Watchers.

My contribution to a lunch we had after church to welcome a church member back from Iraq. It was well received.

I just call it dinner: lots of mixed vegetables, peas and beans, whole wheat pasta and cut up skinless/boneless chicken thighs.

I am going to wear rubber pants tonight so I will look like a Zeppelin in the morning.

Experimenting in the kitchen - I made a cheesecake for a party I am attending tomorrow. It is a lemon-raspberry-dark chocolate cheesecake - now I will have to wait to see if it gets a thumb up or down. It has the juice of one lemon and the zest from the lemon. It has 6 ounces of whole (seeded) raspberries and 5 ounces of dark chocolate swirled in to it.

A co-worker gave me a few different chilies and a Roma tomato - I stir fried them with a few veggie and served it on Jasmine rice. I seeded the chilies first but they still had a lot of heat.

Pam made a great pizza with dough from the breadmaker recipe and a tomato sauce made with tomatos from nans greenhouse, with some pasteurised mozzarella and some pepperoni.

Fajitas without the tortillas. I sauteed the onions and peppers in vegetable stock, spices and hot sauces and added chicken - diet food doesn't have to be tasteless.

not a successful attempt. Too oily. Too messy.

I cooked pork in soy sauce, peach-habanaro sauce and rice vinegar. I mixed in bean sprouts, red peppers, carrots, baby corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and celery. A dash of turmeric and Chinese Five Spice. It was great and had just the right amount of heat for me.
