Tax season, The Cat’s food during tax season, less about visual aesthetics, more about nutrition. Hee hee.
Green Soup
White stemmed cabbage, wakame, dried vegetable, salt, toasted sesame oil to finish. After the Cat’s long Sunday nap. Light, not sit on the bottom of the stomach heavy. 🙂
Tonic Soup
Dried ingredients, rice, leftover chicken. You’ve seen this before, another batch. The Cat’s weeknight dinner. One bowl, easy to re-heat.
The Mouse has to have some medical scanning done (I dunno what, so confused). Anyways, from 1:00 PM on, only protein today (no carbs, no sugar, only water, salt and pepper okay). Oh well, could be worse.
Yesterday, The Mouse bought pork and beef chunks (cuts for pork adobo and beef stew).

Beef Chunks
The Mouse seared the chunks, drained the excess fat, then poached them in a mixture of olive oil and water.

The pork turned out a little better than the beef, maybe not quite enough liquid. Still good though.
After tomorrow, The Mouse is probably gonna need a laxative (sorry, TMI). Hee hee.
Stay safe and well.
The Mouse
P.S. The pork is mostly for The Cat, but The Mouse will eat some too. The beef is primarily for The Mouse, maybe exclusively.
Yesterday, The Mouse cooked peanut soup for The Cat. Blanched peanuts, simmered for hours, peanut butter powder, chicken stock, and mustard cabbage to finish.

The Cat’s bento (assembled by The Mouse).

Leftover carnitas from the weekend, The Mouse baked a yam, roasted zucchini, and fried an egg. Colorful yeah? Hee hee.
