Hi all,
It has been a lot of cooking here to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Reunion Dinner was last Thursday - sending a pic and hoping it won't bust
the limits set by freelist.

Hi Kelly and all,
We are still surviving lockdown here in Southport. At least food
shopping is essential.
The worst part for me is hair and nail salons closed. Have been chopping
my Covid hair which is not a good look. Managed to nealy chop a finger and
yesterday almost did a Van Gogh and chopped my ear🤔😩😜. Hard looking in a
mirror and the scissors go in the wrong direction.
Have been cooking quite a bit trying different recipes. However been
naughty this weekend and hit M&S food hall. Friday night was a Chinese meal
for £10 to celebrate Chinese New Year. Was beef in black bean sauce, spicy
beef noodles , crispy beef in sweet chili sauce, egg fried rice and egg
rolls. Not sure why I did this as Chinese does not not really work in ready
meals.
Today being Valentines Day M&S have a £20 Dine in Meal for 2, one starter,
a main and side, dessert, bottle of wine and chocolates. I got Coquilles
Saint Jacque, Daohinoise potatoes, pulled beef with porcini, truffle in
puff pastry, nuts about you cheesecake and Irish Cream Liquers. Am sure we
will never eat it all but is a good deal and I love scallops
Been a busy week for M&S with Chinese NY Friday, Valentines Day today and
Pancake Day Tuesday. Already have the pancakes, yes, from M&S but they are
crepes made in France which we will have with lemon juice and sugar.
Nothing like American pancakes.
Susan, did you celebrate Chinese NY? Gung hay fat choy🥢
Kelly, enjoy Mardi Gras in the safety of home. Am sure you must have
beads from previous ones you could chuck around😜🤣
Vicki, soo be time for your food shop😜

Cheer up Kelly...staying home, watching movies and cooking isn't a bad way
to get through this.
Over the past year I've learned it's no big deal to skip Christmas,
Thanksgiving, Easter, birthdays and anniversaries. I'm sure spending a lot
less money! But then what's the point of working?
Remember the beautiful grill I bought a year or so ago and sent the
picture? Today I grilled eggplant, zucchini, red peppers and Brusels
sprouts, what a great flavor comes through with grilling (on the
stove-top). And with the residual heat when the veggies were done, I threw
on some turkey fillets to quickly sizzle.
To dress the veggies, I mixed some homemade ali-oli with fresh Dijon
mustard...jeesh that stuff burns right to the top of your head!!!, but
mixed with the ali-oli, one part Dijon to two of ali-oli, it was just right.

Is anyone cooking anything fun this weekend?

This is the weekend before Mardi Gras...just seems weird not
celebrating...I may allow myself some carb indulgence and go buy a small
king cake to snack on this weekend, as a bit of an observance..,
What are y’all up to?
Kelly
