Meals

Making the Rangoon is fairly simple. The filling is a mixture of green onion, cream cheese, crab meat (preferably lump), and a sprinkling of either soy or similar sauce (1 – 1 1/2 tablespoons). I would also suggest adding a red sweet relish to your mixture, gives it a fuller flavor.

Grab some wonton wrappers. Fill center with half table spoon of mixture. Coat edges with mixed/beaten egg. Fold over to finally seal.

Fry in peanut oil, brown on each side.

Dipping sauces can range from hot mustard, sweet and sour, sweet chili… all standard.

—Crab Rangoon—

Well, as expected, made way too much for the holidays. So now we start getting creative. Soups, subs, salads, casseroles, etc. Damn, that was one big ham! Lots of leftovers.

Time to think about summer.

The Weekend

Coffee. A perfect scent at 4:30 AM, the time I’ve been waking up lately. Today is cooking and cleaning day, putting in a little effort before the holiday. And honestly, will be happy to go back to normal diet on Fridays. (It’s a small compromise to “get along”).

There is a very simple way to make a great tasting fish. Thaw it out, crumble (club) crackers in a cup w/melted butter salt, garlic. Spread the mixture on top of the thawed filet. Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes. (Easy air fryer recipe also).

If you have read the deals I posted, and checked out some of the recipes… you have an idea of what’s going to be thrown in the oven. The dog is not making the cleaning part easy 😉

Thinking of this song (but in the wrong context).

Deals

In a time when everyone is budgeting, looking for deals, thought I’d share a few. You probably already know, how much I hate doing this, (because it’s product promotion), but gas and everyday items are going up in price. The only recent products I’ve paid full price for were some stickers I could stick on gas pumps, with the saying “I did this”, next to a picture of an orange orangutan.

SodaStream c02 cannisters at Walmart – $14.96!

Peanuts in Shells 6 Pack (I’ve written about these, delicious) – $13.08

AAAANNNNNNDDDD…………

The holiday ham! Back again!

Meijer has the hams also!!

Feeling like some Terence Trent D’Arby tonight.
