At the vendor stand we frequent were bags of what to The Mouse looked liked shredded paper or cardboard. Turns out it was bamboo shoot, all cleaned and sliced.
Bamboo
Since The Cat is part panda, we bought a bag to try.
Mrs. Vendor said to parboil for 20 to 30 minutes.
Following Instructions
The Cat has fresh bamboo shoots for a couple of days. 🙂
Enjoy. Eat well.

Whew! Re-hydrating this batch of dried bamboo took a bit of time.
Bamboo Shoot
Three days of room temperature water, two nights of low and slow simmering, and countless washing. The Mouse almost thought he had to run wires through the water and hope for lighting strikes. Hee hee.
Kinda on the same theme, the shiso are sprouting again.
Shiso Plants
Yay! The Mouse is happy.
Enjoy. Eat well.

Both The Cat and The Mouse worked late the other day. Stopped at the neighborhood Italian cafe (missed the early bird discounts), saves cooking and washing time. Tried to keep the eating “light”, until … Sigh.
Tomato Basil Soup, Minestrone Soup
.
Mushroom Risotto
.
Sauteed Vegetables
.
Pasta Primavera
We were doing pretty good, a good portion of the food were taken home for later consumption (spreading the calories over a longer period of time, Hee hee).
Then dessert kinda happened.
Apple and Cinnamon Crisp
The Mouse thinks it’s still ok, since there were apples in the dessert. That’s The Mouse’s story and he is sticking to it. Hee hee.
Enjoy. Eat well.

Special of the day at the downstairs cafe in The Cat’s office building. The Cat wanted to try try.
Chicken Confit with Roasted Root Vegetables
Came with a bowl of vegetable soup.
Vegetable Soup
The Cat brought home a portion for The Mouse to try try.
Cooked well, chicken was moist and tender, vegetables were tasty, I think for The Cat, she was not used to the seasoning, The Mouse thinks paprika.
Good job, Chef.
Enjoy. Eat well.

This past tax season was pretty rough on The Cat. Now, she’s trying to lose pounds gained the past season. Sunday lunch, Ruby Tuesday.
The Cat’s Vegetables
No pasta, no ribs, not even mudd pie, just vegetables.
The Mouse’s Grilled Chicken Sandwich
In keeping with the theme, not fried chicken grilled, and broccoli substituted for fries.
Enjoy. Eat well.
