Beef and broccoli

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today, Honey?  I hope everything is going well with you over there, and you keeping healthy and having a marvelous time.  I'm pretty tired right now.  I had to go back out and pay my bills, since I went out yesterday on a public holiday.  When the evening came around, I was very hungry.  I made another batch of my generic roast beef yesterday evening.  That stuff takes a while to cook because I use a tiny fire, and I have to cook it until it almost shreds.  If you had a nice cut of beef then it should be cooked rare, but I use the cheapest cuts for my recipe.  That works out great for me, because I get a lot of meat and the fat and gristle are the best parts!  Anyway, I made beef and broccoli to go with my white rice for dinner, along with some eggplant and onions cooked in my home made hot sauce.  What I did was simple: I fried the broccoli in hot oil with some green hot chilli peppers until the broccoli seared a little.  Then I added some of my roast beef chunks, then cooked until hot, plus I added a little water to loosen the stuff on the bottom of the pan.  Finished!  No need for sauce, it was simplicity.  Want some?

The Journey(s)

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  Staying busy?  Please make sure you get lots of rest and eat properly.  Yeah, it's a busy day for me today as well.  I went downtown in the morning after doing my laundry to pay bills, only to find out that today is a public holiday.  On the occasion of the "Israk Mikraj", which is the night where Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) made a round trip journey from Mecca to Jerusalem.  No, they didn't have jet planes back then.  As for me, public holidays are meaningless to me because I have to work everyday.  I tried to keep up with them so I don't waste my time, but obviously I haven't mastered the skill of knowing when the public holidays are.  At least I got my power bill paid because that was a machine, and machines generally don't care about public holidays.

Then in the evening while I was having dinner, the cats jumped up onto the counter top to search for scraps and I took a glimpse of Adolf Kitler's fluffy butt and I saw worms.  The worms couldn't have come from the food he shares with me, because I would have worms too right?  No, I don't have worms.  So it must be from his cat food.  Dammit!  That's expensive cat food too.  I had to pay the high prices for cat food that doesn't plug up his peepee, but apparently the expensive stuff uses rotten fish as well.  Good thing there is a large pet supply store open nearby, busy place too.  So I went there right before sunset to get Adolf some worm pills.  I got rained on.  I got soaked.

Puttin' on the Ritz

 

Hi Natty!  How are you today?  I sure hope you are having a swell time over, and keeping safe and healthy.  Oh, it's been a busy day for me.  I drove my mother around in the morning.  We went and had breakfast at the curry house, then went to the market then the supermarket.  In the evening, I had to go back downtown to buy drugs.  Dude!  Bad fortune at the drug store today.  Long lines and high prices.  Anti fungal cream went from RM 12 to RM 18 in 3 months.  It must be inflation from all the people getting fungus infections from washing their hands more than ever before.  I just got back and had dinner, which was glutinous rice with fresh tomatoes and salted fish.  You must try this combination sometime!  It's so yummy!  Anyway, gotta fly!  I love you!

So much color today!  And I absolutely LOVE these boots!

Some sourness to the sardine

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  It's been one hell of a week, huh?  I hope you enjoyed yourself.  It's Sunday here today.  I spent the evening making dinner.  I seem to have some sardines hanging around my kitchen.  The pasta with sardines I made the other day was quite good, I decided to make it better today.  I had half a pack of angel hair left, so I cooked that up.  The sardines came in 425 gram tins, that's about 14 oz, and sardines usually come in tomato sauce right?  So I just need to flavor the sauce in the sardines, and I used my home made hot sauce.  You folks can try it with 2 tablespoons of Sriracha, it should be close enough.  Fry the sardine bones in some grease with black pepper until brown, then add the hot sauce.  Today I put in a couple of diced Roma tomatoes and half a can of sardines, then cooked and broke that up.  My Mom gave me half a kilo of local limes, known as Calamansi in English.  Each one is about the size of a large marble.  They're tart of course but sweeter than the limes you might be familiar with.  I put in 2 tablespoons of the juice in the sauce, then salt.  Pasta sauces have to be slightly saltier than taste to compensate for the pasta.  To me at least, because I boil pasta without salt.  Adolf Kitler becomes depressed when I don't share my food with him.  He starts crying, then goes and sulks in some corner somewhere.  What a big old baby!  So I gave Lookie and Adolf half a sardine each, then a taste of my dinner and let them lick the plates.  Just a snack, folks!  Don't fill them up with human food, and never use your cats as garbage disposal.
