The breakfast of leftovers

3 week old eggs, 2 week old cherry tomatoes and week old celery and carrots.

Made into tomato cheese omelette and morning vegetable juice with assist from rye bread and grated Parmesan.

My omelette ( ala jacque pepin ) shape is a little ragged. I've only been able to get good shape on my first try some months ago.

Sunday night dinner


Dinner on Sunday (quickie one) with, 
A. Tomato Orange pork stew from Tuesday, refreshed with green peas and my missing mushrooms (tasted much better with the mushrooms).

B. Mashed Potatoes made simply with a tab of butter and some hot milk and salt (consistency not quite right, but it was done quickly so I guess I deserve it).

C. Salad - with walnuts, sun dried tomatoes, croutons made from stale bread and a bean combo bought from cold storage. Dressing a sweetish one from olive oil, honey, salt and a little lemon juice.

Goes with sake (normal or ume).

Tomato and orange pork stew

Based on the recipe posted below (and used pork instead of veal).

Tastes all right except sauce was a bit too tart tasting (meat was good). Partly because I keh kiang and added half a lemon worth of juice and partly because its missing the mushrooms! When I opened the mushrooms bought 2 days ago, they were slimy (shame on you cold storage!).  I had to substitute with carrots.

Should do ok with a neutral carb such as rice. I feel this can be improved. May try again - the meat itself tastes good
