Thanks Bay, and it's a small corner but practical.

After the pandemic, I never visited a hair salon. I am also a chief-hair-styling office now.

Dear Bay, it's me.
My teenage daughter usually refuses to be photoed.

You look like a teenager yourself!

The rising sun on the way to Cologne today

Being a private chef is a challenging but interesting task, which needs knowledge (on the person you serve), skill (to prepare proper and adaptive meals), and willingness (to optimize the ingredients).

Minced Turkey meat, potatoes, leek, broccoli - seasoned with curry power - simple, balanced, and rich in flavor. After simmering for one hour, all ingredients are tender and perfectly integrated.

Fruits with honey - both kiwi and orange are high in Vitamin C. The white color central part of kiwi is too chewy for him, so I always remove it.

I also made a cold dish for part of his dinner - sliced and salted cucumber and shredded Bologna sausage, mayonnaise, plain yogurt, parsley, and some egg yolk.

It's nothing fancy, but even the most common ingredients can turn into a delicacy. I hope, he will understand how much we love him when he sees the food in front of him.

By the way, yesterday we got some good deals at discounter again - chicken, salmon, burger patties.

To be honest, I was also surprised that he's ok with curries! He tried and enjoyed so many new things because of dementia.

Turmeric is known to have healing properties for dementia, Alzheimers is practically unknown in India where it is used in most of their cooking. Maybe it would help your dear father in law. I take turmeric for inflammation from arthritis, it is a great pain reliever.

I usually cook with what I have at hand and not "stick" to specific ingredients. "Asian" cuisine didn't mean any unbreakable rules for me.

I have two patties and some bacon today, so I made the noodle with them.

I started cleaning up the flower sprouts and purple kales.

Such plain noodle is quite common in northeast Asia.

So that's our Asian-style noodle today. It's simple home food that can always warm you up.

Today's treasure hunt is quite successful! We brought back so much good meat that is best before the following Monday. I never thought they would put the stickers so early - 10 packages of burger patties, 20 packages of minced meat, and one package of cod fillet, incredible.

As our raw-fed cats and dogs also need these (80% unseasoned meat, 10% meaty bones, 5% liver, 5% other organs), I always make jokes that we (as the pack leaders) have to do the "hunting" quite often for them.

Nikko (moonlight): Mama, did you bring back enough prey today?

Anyway, all items will immediately go to the freezer.

Thanks Bay, I plan to make some sausage rice with turmeric for him next week. We love curry so much, so it's really nice that he is willing to try new things.

Home food today

Still cleaning up the winter vegetable, and soon I will sow next round for this autumn/winter.
Just stir-fry with garlic, delicious

The soft and sweet papaya is the best ending of today!
