Basil

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  Were you waiting for me?  I'm waiting for you!  I love you, Natty.  I hope things are easy going for you over there, and you are keeping safe and healthy.  It's a bit wet here today.  It kind of slowed me down, but I was able to get dinner done by sunset.  It's pasta again today!  Angel hair this time, but the sauce is home made.  I didn't have any basil at all when the year started.  Then a couple of rogue plants grew from dormant seeds in pots, so I isolated those in hope of getting seeds.  One of them grew big and leafy, so leafy that I knew I could make a good sauce out of one plant.  I bought tomatoes Monday, I finally got the chance to process them into sauce.  First I stewed the tomatoes and basil until they dried up and turned black.  Not burned, just black.  I kept them in the cooler until today, when I added onions, garlic, black pepper and a can of tomato soup.  Tomato paste would have been better, but there was none.  I got tomato puree instead which was cheaper than tomato soup, but the price was a lie so I bought tomato soup instead.  Blend it all together, and the sauce wasn't dark enough.  The taste is a success however, so I left it at that.  Want some?

Chicken chow mein

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I hope everything is well over there, and you are keeping safe and healthy.  I made chicken chow mein just now.  It was a big hit for me during Ramadan, and I have the routine down.  Up above you can see it, and I eat it straight out of the wok.  Cat proof!  The bok choy is a bit old, but the taste is business as usual.  Want some?

Spaghetti again

 

Hi Natty!  Hi Honey!  Sorry I'm running late, I sort of digressed by watching TV.  That's what I watched, up there.  How you doin', by the way?  I hope you are feeling great, and everything is easy.  I love you!  Please keep safe and healthy OK!  Are you hungry?  I had spaghetti again for dinner.  Nothing special, just spaghetti and sauce from a jar.  I cut the grass in the evening, and I barely had time to cook and eat.  It's a good thing I eat straight out of the wok.  Cat proof!
