@Rubie: Mmm.... donuts *___* Pasta always sounds like a wholesome comforting dinner no matter what kind it is~

@Amura: That's quite interesting actually, because to me fresh raw tuna doesn't taste fishy, while the canned tuna tastes more strongly fishy! So I've had salads with fresh tuna and found them delicious, but can only stand canned tuna with it's mixed with lots of mayo and sauces

@Amura: You will have to watch the whole video because she never wrote the recipe down. But it's so simple and easy to make. The only thing I had trouble with was finding thinly sliced beef, until I realized I could have just slice it thin myself because my brain started working. Bonus this channel is super cute.

Watching a video, that much I can do
What's the name of the Youtube channel? I can look it up.

@Natsuyuki:
Fresh tuna does not taste too fishy (actually one of the more meat-like fishes imho) but it still has an strong flavor for me.
So I actually enjoy it better in the simplest recipes - olive oil and onion, that's all it needs for me.

Maybe our canned tunas are different?
We live in very different countries, so perhaps they are prepared in different ways too.

Hmm I think it's mostly the same. But I think the ones I've seen tend to be a bit more... watery? Like there's this liquid that you have to drain out before using. And it's very dry and hard to eat unless it's mixed with sauces.

@Amura: the word video is a link there lol. But the channel is called Kimono Mom. And I was shocked yesterday when I was getting the video link that she has over 1mil subscribers now. She was under 100k when I first started watching her.

Anyway, new day, new meals

Breakfast: bagel with cream cheese

Lunch: last serving of hiyashi beef over rice and a 100 calorie pack of cookie crisps.

Supper: Went out to eat after my (step)niece's graduation. Not with her because she had to get back to her sister's wedding (theres some drama behind that). Anyway, had a Frisco melt with homemade potato chips.

I've been just snacking... we had a big family get-together and then one of my Elders went pretty much straight from that to a hospital and so I've just been snatching bits and bobs whenever...
Grabbing fruit and dried fruit here, munching a chunk of cheese there....

I need to sit down and properly eat but it's hard to muster up any enthusiasm for food at the moment.

I don't feel hungry though? I'll probably be super hungry and tired later when the immediate nonsense is over but right now, nope.


I'll just go bookmark that video link and it'll make the perfect distraction later, when distractions will be very welcome and needed....

What a wonderful thread...

Yesterday I had eggs for breakfast, salad for lunch and pizza for dinner - not much cooking involved at all!
Today I've not eaten much yet at all, but am planning on possibly making a curry of some kind later.

@Akili Li: I hope everything is fine with your family member.


Today meals

Breakfast: bagel with cream cheese
Lunch: leftover turkey stroganoff (it made so much I have packed some away for my lunches this week). Also had a granola bar later on since I was still a little hungry.
Supper: chicken katsu over rice with homemade katsu sauce I googled for.

Oh I love katsu! It's delicious

Yesterday I had a salad with cup noodles for lunch (vegetable laksa) and for dinner it was no-fish fingers, potatoes, corn and peas. I snacked on some biscuits throughout the day too.

*bookmarks video*
Thanks for sharing! I'll check it out as soon as I have a little time!


The weather was cold during the weekend, so I decided to make a beans stew for today's lunch - with its veggies and chorizo.
And for dinner we had an Spanish omelette (which is not just eggs, it's got potatoes too). That's the only dish my husband cooks better than me, so it was his turn cooking :D

And yesterday I made two different ice creams. Rainy cold weekend days in the middle of warmer weeks are just perfect for ice cream making!
We'll be enjoying them from tomorrow on.
