Going to the supermarket these days is kind of tiring because of the weather...almost always raining! Gondola Shelving in most supermarkets can help ease the routine though, specially if it's well arranged and well-stocked. Having a three-year old along and pushing a cart can be nerve-wracking at times, lol.
Sometimes it's hubby who does the shopping for us when he has the time; and for that am really thankful! :)
The ant was too busy to notice me...good thing I didn't seem to disturb him! lol. ;)

| Ribs, seafood, and steaks...now who wouldn't be enticed by those three yummy words! Plus of course those tempting shots...if you want to learn more, then do visit Ms. Ann's blog. I love her header (though of course it has nothing to do with the featured post, lol. I just love how she personalized it) and the simple and elegant lay-out of her blog. Expect not only yummy food posts, but also some amazing nature shots! |

This week's food post is Fried Rice (with cheese, squash and tofu). I know, kind of weird, right? ;)
Ingredients:
- steamed rice
- squash (cut into thin strips)
- tofu (sliced and fried)
- cheese slices (I used cheddar cheese)
- scrambled eggs
- cooking oil, pepper and salt
- fish sauce (optional)
Procedure:
- I marinated the tofu slices overnight first (soy sauce, paprika, mixed herbs: rosemary, sage, thyme, and basil), then fried them. After letting them cool, I sliced them thinly.
- while waiting for the pan to become hot, prepare the rice (usually we use leftover steamed rice for this dish; much easier to handle). Just a matter of separating the grains, making sure it will be heated through.
- Saute the squash slices; this wouldn't take long, adding a bit of salt, if you want. Remove and place together with the tofu.
- Cook the scrambled eggs, then remove and place together with the tofu and squash.
- Usually the scrambled eggs will absorb all the oil, so you need to add another tablespoon or so of cooking oil.
- Once hot, add the rice and stir to make sure it's heated through. Add salt and pepper, if you want.
- Add the scrambled eggs, squash, and tofu to the rice and mix again. I added fish sauce at this point. Once you're satisfied, transfer to a serving plate. Top with sliced cheddar cheese.
- Enjoy together with your viand.

The cats were playing with this bug when we found it...we were sure they weren't going to eat it, but still we had to get this bug away from the cat's paws and mouth! We set it free after I took some shots... :)

I paired the patties with some tomatoes and peas. Would have wanted to have it with rice, but was really pressed for time, so we had it with bought bread instead. It was an ok dinner, I guess. Nothing fancy but it did fill some hungry stomachs! lol.

Burger Patties in Mushroom Sauce...one of my easy to-go-to meal when am pressed for time. Like a couple of days ago. :D
Ingredients:
- ground pork (or beef)
- seasonings like pepper, salt, different dried herbs (i used thyme, rosemary, sage and oregano), and soy sauce
- rolled oats (around a fistful)
- eggs for binding
- onions and garlic finely chopped
Sauce:
- a can of mushrooms (or you may use fresh), sliced and water removed
- cornstarch and water mix (i used about a tsp cornstarch to half a cup of water)
- chicken stock
- butter, milk
- salt, pepper
Procedure:
For the meat:
- Mix everything then set aside for a bit to let the ingredients get to know each other.
- Then form into patties and fry. Or you may bake them (way healthier, I think).
- Set aside again, and make the sauce.
Sauce:
- You may use the pan where you fried/baked the patties. Remove excess oil (around a tbsp. or two should be enough). Add the butter, then chicken stock. Let boil till it has reduced somewhat.
- Add mushrooms and milk, then the cornstarch/water mix. Mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper, if needed. When you're satisfied with the thickness of the sauce, remove from the fire and spoon over the patties.
- Dig in!

The rainy days are definitely here again. I like rains, but not when there are floodings. Like yesterday at North Avenue..saw a picture and I was honestly surprised that the water level there could reach that high!
sigh.
Do you have a friend (or a son/daughter) who likes wearing hip hop clothes? I know it's a phase (like most of everything else) and I honestly like it. I guess am not much into formal wear (quite unlike hubby, lol) and if you'd take a peek at my wardrobe you won't find any gowns there or anything. Well, save for my wedding dress (and I can't even say it is very formal - I designed it myself!), which am sure doesn't fit me anymore! LOL.
I guess for me comfort ALWAYS comes first. So, as long as it looks decent (no overly revealing get-ups, please) then it's fine with me! :)
