Dinner's Served!

Alright we're back for some more food! Yesterday night I marinated a chicken breast with some vinegar, soya sauce, paprika, spice salt, pepper, and cooking wine. Sauteed it in a pan and served it on top of a stir-fried mix of broccoli, mushrooms and a pearl onion. Garnished with cilantro and voila!

The colour scheme on this thing isn't great, but it'll be something to think about for the next one.

The day before yesterday, I bought a pork tenderloin. I decided to throw it in the slow cooker with whole tomatoes, carrots, corn, and mushroom. I seasoned the tenderloin with paprika, spice salt, pepper, chicken cubes, and cooking wine again (yes...there's a pattern to the seasoning. I really need to diversify). HOWEVER, pork always goes well with something sweet, so I poured in some apple cider. I did some homework, played some tennis (before getting rained on), worked out, and three hours later I was enjoying this:

                        

I think I was a little heavy on the seasoning, or maybe it was the apple cider that added a 'bite'. Either way, it was a good meal which I have two more servings of for this week :)

Grabbag Lunch

Just came back from a 1.5 hr midterm, followed by a 1.5 hr workout, so I was STARVING (though nothing compared to the 30 Hour Famine I did earlier this year :P it actually wasn't that bad). Didn't have any particular meal in mind so I just opened my freezer to see what was there.

Grabbed a bag of ribs, mushrooms, corn, and beets. Defrosted ribs in microwave and marinated with sweet soya sauce and cooking wine (sherry) before pan frying it. Let it go for a while and poured in some water with the veggies.

That's when I decided I would clean some dishes while it cooks. Lucky me, the meat got overcooked but protein is protein. Served it in a bowl on top of a pita (just for kicks..plus it looks cooler).

Yesterday for lunch I packed the dumplings and cabbage I made the other day, but ended up buying a Harvey's original hamburger with onion rings :S Karma kicked me in the face by getting spicy chipotle sauce on my white shirt.

                                    

(not quite what I had, but putting the rings in the burger would've been a good idea....if you're reading you need to slap yourself NOW so you're not tempted to get one of these. O what have I done...)

I think I may cook an omelette after this to make up for the fact these ribs are overcooked. Tonight I may go to Aroma's since I won a Buy One (meal) Get One Free coupon at Relay for Life haha (it expires at the end of June). Until next time!

PS. Make sure you slapped yourself.
