Cookin again

[MoonSong]

Tajin is a Mexican spice blend with mild chiles, salt and powdered citric juice. The flavor is lime-forward with a very slightly warm finish.

You call it a spice blend, we call it junk food that at best gets put on fruit, and at worse it gets mixed with sweet and other hot sauces to make alcoholic and not-alcoholic drinks or to make the already bad for you chips even worse . Cool to see it used as actual seasoning in a serious dish!

Well, no commercial spice mix is as good as mixing your own, health wise, but I wouldn’t call them junk food!

FWIW, I’ve now had it on buttered, toasted sourdough 3 times, and it really plays nicely with it. I’d love to try that as the basis for some kind of chicken or turkey sandwich, but it will gave to wait, ‘cause I’m out.

Might give that open-faced sandwich a second try, aiming for something closer to an Eggs Benedict.

Orrrrr…maybe something like a breakfast burrito! Cheesy scrambled egg, ham & green onion rolled in the pita. Salsa.

Chicken salad on tortillas cut up into "pizza" slices.



Wife's new favorite.

I didn’t take a pic, but I cooked a couple Cajun sausages this morning while I made my breakfast. Just boiled (just enough water to cover them, plus a little salt and butter) for 20 and then set on a hot pan to get a little char on the skin, then wrapped in foil to rest.

For lunch, and again for dinner (on my lunch break), I heated up 1 sausage, toasted a sandwich roll, spread some mustard, added a thin slice of cheese, and went to town. Delicious.

What's a Cajun sausage?

Lockdown restrictions eased to went for a twoule walk to get some groceries.

On the way the local convenience store was selling ies so thought I would check them out.

Vegan Kumara (sweet potato) and cashew nut.


Bloody good pie actually. Had some spices in it reminding me of an Indian pie eg butter chicken or may a chicken green curry pie.

It is literally found in the candy aisle...

Ok. I happened to do something today. I was going to do french bread, but then I ruined the balance of the dough, but then it was perfect for pizza. So pizza!

Really!

Here, it was in the produce section.

Limited reopening and after 4 days decided to get takeaways at one of our favorite Fish and Chip shops.

Steak and Egg burger.



And the fry up. Chips, meat patties and a hot dog (NZ style).



Wife ordered a chicken fried rice.

I was gagging for not chicken but everything was very average to the point the local convenience store with it's heating bins served up better hotdog and chips.

Theeat pattie was exactly that. A thin deep fried beef burger patties. Growing up they were over an inch thick home made pattie with onions and potatoes on top battered and fried.

Wife's was very bland as well. Chips were ok along with the burger but nothing spectacular.
