It was loosely based on tom kha, which is a Thai dish, but with major variations- I didn't have galangal, which is a key element in getting the flavor, nor did I have mushrooms, bell pepper, basil, etc. to work with. So it was really kind of a half-Thai dish that used what I had on hand.
My girlfriend got me the saffron a while back so I try to integrate it into dishes that she can eat- she can't have rice.
After almost two weeks of meat-centric meals- mostly rib roast, by sheer mass- I just couldn’t face much critter today.
Breakfast was at my 2nd favorite Vietnamese place, consisting of a pair of egg rolls (veg & pork) and a small vegetarian pho of chicken broth, noodles, carrots, onions, broccoli, mushrooms and bok choi. Lime, sriracha, hoisin and LOTS of basil for seasoning.
Somehow, that filled me up all day. Just wasn’t hungry. I had to eat a light meal to take my evening meds, though. I couldn’t decide for quite a while, then settled on buttered sourdough toast, sliced tomato with sea salt, ground pepper and rice wine vinegar, and a ramekin of trail mix.

I made a vinaigrette with a nice oil, red wine vinegar, and mustard...Chinese hot mustard! Definitely an interesting culinary experience.
Freezer raid!

So I’m at one of my frequently visited Chinese restaurants for lunch today while running errands.
I decided to have 4 of their vegetarian egg rolls- they’re the best veggie ERs I’ve ever had- and a bowl of their hot & sour soup. Yeah, it’s 98degF outside, but AC was invented for a reason.
However, even though I’ve been coming here for years, I didn’t realize their basic soups jump from a cup for a few bucks to a GIGANTIC PHO BOWL for $2 more. Mofo came with a soup cup & ladle...
This may be the best bargain in Chinese food where I am.
I can’t take it home- still many miles of driving around running errands to do- so I’m suffering eating the good bits out.
“Suffering “. Yes, that’s the word.
