We are back!! Winnipeg was great, the weather was great. the wedding of
our eldest grandson was great, and now we have a really beautiful, new
grandaughter, who just married our grandson! Anyway, the flight home was
not, too bumpy, sheesh, I wish they would fix those potholes up there,
could not even read Lovejoy! So, when we arrived home, late, put on a
big pot of Thai rice, had picked up a half barbecued chicken, and that
is what we had...I did make a curry sauce for the chicken, could not
just leave it alone...and tonight, seeing as I had that left over Thai
rice, just hadda do something with it....picked up a 3/4 lb chunk of
halibut filet, had a shrimp ring left over from who knows how long, so
decided to combine the two...steamed the halibut, with ginger slices,
and sesame oil on top, mad a cream sauce, and threw the shrimp in when
they had defrosted, then added the fish, twasnt bad, I was informed by
Limpey(my better half)(who had busted 4 bones in her left foot prior to
leaving for Winnipeg!)And the rice, you ask? Why that went into a
memorable fried rice...and I really did get a shock. Yesterday,
shopping, picked up 4 Jals, one good sized one almost 6 inches
long(yeah, I know)and tonight when I cut it up and took out the seeds,
as I always do, I chomped on a piece, and got the surpise of my
life....this Jalapeno was as hot as the Habs I usually get, could not
believe it, so I took a little piece of the inside rib to my poor,
broken footed, unsuspecting better half....well, knowing that I was
chopping up a Jal, to put in the fried rice, she accepted a
piece...miserable old man waited for the reaction!!!Poor Marie, could
not move very fast because of the foot, but she headed for the sugar
bowl immediately! I took pity on her and gave her a slice of red bell
pepper, which was also going into the fried mess, I mean rice, and that
cooled tho tonsils a little, except she aint got any tonsils...so that
is what we had tonight...hope we can get some more of those babies,
dunno where they came from to the grocery store, but I intend to find
out!On another note, my serranos are producing like crazy up on our
roof(110 ft up) Meters, Chas? and I have two habs poking through, so I
may yet get peppers if our sun keeps shining. I have already posted at
least three fried rice recipes, but if anyone wants this one, and the
fish thing, get back to me, and I will oblige...I have not forgotten the
hot chickpea recipe, so do not despair! Cheers, Doug in BC
