Patient Food and Eggplant Fail

The Cat caught a cold, no chicken soup, substitute instead.

Coconut Rice Soup with Vegetables and Egg

The egg kinda broke in the plating, so instead of egg, became egg drop. 😦

And the pickled eggplant? The Mouse baked/toasted for about twenty minutes.

Roasted/Toasted Pickled Eggplant

While the eggplant got a little softer, not much, the salt intensified, even for The Mouse. complete fail. Ugh!

One more slice left, going to try and rinse off the miso/pickling before roast/toast. Crossing The Mouse’s fingers/toes/paws.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Not Scratch and Dent

The warehouse carries this brand of curry soup.

Can

A couple cans in the kitchen, scratched and dented, must’ve fallen off the pallet.

The Mouse was tempted but didn’t want to take the chance, contamination and all. Picked up a can from the grocery store.

Some veggies, a piece of pork belly (pre-cooked), water, and half of the can of curry soup.

Pork curry Soup

A tad too spicy for The Cat.

Next night a little adjustment.

Coconut Milk

Quarter can of curry soup, half can of coconut milk.

Pork Belly, Curry Soup, Redo

Much better for The Cat. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

Grits Soup

Coming from the weird mind of The Mouse.

Kinda throw everything in and hope for the best.

Instant grits (“no self respecting Southerner would ever use instant grits”), pork belly with broth, Napa cabbage, dried and canned bamboo shoot, frozen spinach, one beaten egg, Kaua‘i sea salt. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Grits Soup

Kinda chowder-y without the milk. The Cat said it was hearty. Good for the coming cooler weather.

Enjoy. Eat well.
