Another dead easy and tasty recipe from John Gregory-Smith's Fast Feasts:

That looks tasty! I have a couple of chicken thighs (bone-in) which I need to cook today. Cold outside today, so maybe will make a small stew?

Sounds good.

The chicken "tagine" (in quotes because it doesn't need an actual tagine) really couldn't be much simpler: fry some onion, then add the chicken thighs (off the bone), spice, preserved lemon and chicken stock (broth), let it bubble away for about half an hour before stirring in chopped olives and picked cilantro leaves with a squirt of lemon - and that's pretty much it.

I did the Mac and Cheese thing last week, but I went with ham and broccoli.

I got the following message from my wife: "I don't know what to do for supper?"

This is code for: "Ray, what are you making for supper?"

It's a Mediterranean seasoned salmon. Frozen. It was ok. We prefer our usual lemon pepper sole.

In the oven on a baking sheet.

I cooked Shrimp Pho the other night. Kept it simple with shrimp, carrots, and cilantro.

A Chinese restaurant near me does actual no shit Chinese food. I like the pork with garlic sauce with pork and leek dumplings. Then I have the leftovers a couple of days later.

Man, this food is so good I could invade Taiwan all by myself.

Long ago l was privileged to visit Taiwan for three weeks, my first concert tour. They were wonderful hosts ( understandably, as this took place before the US formally shifted recognition to the communists ), l LOVED nearly all of the food, and l got drunk ( accidently... I promise! ) for the first time.

Now l encourage all of my traveling friends to visit Taiwan, while it still exists...
