Fishmonger: " How do you intend to cook this fish?"
Me: " Steam it."

| Made some little changes with my Mom's pork, onion and egg saute for lunch today. Notice the 2 perfect egg yolks! It is awesome to see people go into great lengths with their skill, and are willing to share them. For me, this blog Cooking for Engineers is such a great find. It may be rainy, wet and cold outside but never a dampened spirit. Thank You, Lord. |

| What it is all about... |
 |
| There were times when I cannot resist all the fresh vegetables in the market so that I would grab as much as I can carry |
 |
| This was what I did for lunch today, to use them all up before they lose their freshness. I added some fish balls to fill up the plate. |
 |

| Nutty Cauliflower with Provolone Cheese This is a variation of yesterday's chicken recipe. Although, not supposedly how it should look. You see, I really do no want to waste time and energy in reheating yesterday's leftover chicken in another pan, so I threw it on top of this Nutty Cauliflower dish that is broiling in the oven just before it was almost ready to serve and right before I remembered that I had not yet taken a photo of it. Clumsy as it may look, the two men of my life were all praises. We bowed down and thanked our Heavenly Father for such great pleasure in as simple a thing as this. |
 |
| Nutty Cauliflower with Provolone Cheese This photo is taken for the sake of authenticity if there is such a word. Nutty, I call it, to describe the taste of baked cauliflower. There is no wrong in giving it a name, I suppose, since, convicted as of this morning of claims like "I made it" by my Boss, (Wish you will read my previous blog) prior to His instructions on how to write... |
 |
| Crispy skin of a leg Provolone mild cheese lots of basil and garlic lemon olive oil Yum! |
 |
| To prove that I did it... Hmmm, sorry, as I woke up this morning, 20120212, My Lord wants me to correct what I've previously written. Notice the caption above? It said, "To prove that I did it.." Well, at this age and time, there is really only one thing that I can do.. to give Him the glory (Oops, convicted again, because I have to be reminded to do so) for my Boss said, "You had nothing in mind when you walked into that kitchen. It was I, your Boss who told you what to do with what you got in the refrigerator which I had provided for you days in advance. The only thing you did was follow through... and see what we have accomplished, My instructions and your obedience." |
