What's for Dinner, Sun., March 5, 2023

Sheet pan dinner with miso-honey glazed salmon and shrimp. Baby bok choy, broccoli, carrots, chopped green onion over the top. The miso glaze has gochujang paste in it. I love gochujang. ❤️

Side dish is spaghetti with basil pesto.

Pomegranate kombucha.

Earl Grey tea and strawberries with vanilla pudding for dessert.

with some broccoli with lemon and butter. I just put a couple of frozen pork egg rolls and at the half-way-turn-over point, I'll put in some frozen cream cheese wontons with sweet and sour sauce and hot-clear-your-sinuses mustard.

Which reminds me. I really like the hot Chinese mustard from the take-out places, but the last time I tried to buy hot Chinese mustard at the store, it was pretty lame. What brand does everyone else who enjoys it buy?

ETA: the brand I bought that was lame was Ty Ling.

...to whatever pungency you like. Just add a little water. Or buy a tube of wasabi and blend it with the lame mustard to taste. The wasabi sold in grocery stores is essentially horseradish powder colored green. Horseradish powder is what makes hot Chinese mustard light up your sinuses.

Checked all the grocery stores. I'd have to go farther up into town to an Asian market. I do, however, love horseradish and have a jar in the fridge. I've tried mixing it with spicy brown mustard before, but still wasn't right. I've also tried to make a recipe I found online, but also still not right.

Homemade crab cakes pan-fried. They’re made of fresh crab meat, Italian flavored bread crumbs, minced onion, beaten eggs and a dollop of mayonnaise. Served open-face on half of a Kaiser roll over Romaine lettuce with tomato slices. Lemon, tartar sauce, cocktail sauce and Old Bay hot sauce on the side.

Cape Cod Dark Russet potato chips and iced tea.

Cookies and a movie for dessert.

We ate early for us tonight. Ms K was hungry after we spent a couple hours cleaning out our camper this afternoon. The bean soup really is good. I made a huge pot of it a couple days ago, so several meals worth will go into the freezer later.
