Quite warm here today. It is a breakfast for dinner type day, as I am spending my time reading.

I will cook hash browns, scrambled eggs with bacon and sharp white cheddar cheese. Husband walked to the bakery early this morning for a loaf of sour dough bread. That will make great toast. People here kept talking sour dough bread, so now I have a craving.

We will probably have sliced tomatoes. And fruit. We have a great watermelon to finish eating, as well as peaches and pears and grapes. Potatoes are leftovers, as I always bake extra. So many things can be done with leftover potatoes. I also keep leftover cooked bacon slices in my freezer. Handy to have when I only need 3 or 4 slices.

What are you having for dinner?

Â* Just leftovers ... Got a smoked butt in the fridge from Sunday dinner
, as well as some tater salad . Leftover green beans too , and I might
warm up the beef rice-a-roni left over from last night . Probably more
in there if I dig , gotta eat that stuff , we're runnin' out of storage
containers .

how to optimally re-heat bacon so it doesn't come out soggy or tough?
I put mine in the toaster oven for a minute or so, which works ok

Leftovers for us, too. I noted that the fridge is kind of full. Probably
Caesar-oid salad with leftover grilled chicken on it.

I like to keep cooked bacon in the freezer. I cook a whole pound and freeze
almost all of it. The grease is saved for my husband to cook eggs in and
whatnot.

Good to know if I want a bacon sandwich. Usually frozen bacon slices are broken up and added to something, beans, potato soup, egg dishes, etc. Bacon grease is something I all ways save too.

Â* Pretty much anything that's "fried" can be done in one . Frozen
chicken strips/nuggets , corn dogs , I do hand cut fries from fresh
taters - drop them in a Ziploc with a couple tablespoons of olive oil
and some season salt , shake and toss 'em in for 25-30 minutes . I'm

Big 6-pound rack of pork ribs smoked for 6 hours over pecan and

Yesterday I had jook and Jell-O. This is food for sick people. The jook was bad. My wife got it from a Chinese restaurant. I was surprised that it was so lackluster - it had no heart. Jook should be made from a whole chicken carcass. This was made from some tough cut-up chicken pieces that was not cooked long enough. There was no ginger in it. That was a very bad thing. Jook has to have ginger in it for ginger is what makes sick folks feel better.. You have to make jook with the heart because it is typically made to make a loved one feel better. No such luck here.

It was actually hot here today so perhaps not the best dinner for that but
it is cooling off. Beef stew, a little brown rice on the side for those who
want it, and a nice salad of Romaine and Radicchio, strawberries, asst.
small tomatoes, walnuts, Feta and Balsamic Vinaigrette.

I enjoyed jook for the first time last December. I was in New Orleans visiting family and my niece was just home from spending a year in Singapore. Jook is very tasty stuff. I have a ginger habit anyway. I found nothing to not love about Jook.

Sounds good Julie. It has been warm/hot here too. However, that won't stop me from cooking beef short ribs for Thursday dinner.

We still don't eat enough fried food at home to buy a kitchen appliance I would use maybe 3 times a year. If I want something fried I usually have it when we go out for lunch on grocery shopping day.

Thanks I have done fries. They don't get crisp though. Do yours? I
put them in a bowl and mix them up with oil and salt before I put them in
the AF. Do you think I'm not doing them enough?

I just got these 'Air Fryer Accessories', although I am not sure what to do
with them yet<g>

They are much smaller than I expected, but then to fit into the AF, I am not
sure what I expected lol

Yesterday I had jook and Jell-O. This is food for sick people. The jook was
bad. My wife got it from a Chinese restaurant. I was surprised that it was
so lackluster - it had no heart. Jook should be made from a whole chicken
carcass. This was made from some tough cut-up chicken pieces that was not
cooked long enough. There was no ginger in it. That was a very bad thing.
Jook has to have ginger in it for ginger is what makes sick folks feel
better. You have to make jook with the heart because it is typically made to
make a loved one feel better. No such luck here.

You're on repeat and you keep thinking you can tell people what to do.

Ideally, all foods should be made with some heart - but not chicken heart. Foods should be prepared with care, and with mindfulness of the person who will be eating it. The ingredients should be treated respectfully. Ideally, a cook should be a nurturer. These ideals should be adhered to even within the fast food industry. What is more depressing than to see a simple, lowly, burger slapped together by a person with little regard to the ingredients or the eater?

I ended up having sandwiches -- PBJ when I got home, then ham later
on when I was hungry again, with chips and kosher dills from Trader
Joes which are pretty good! a lot better than that vlassic crap

It was a burger???

Evidently, my wife and I caught a stomach flu. Beats me what it's called in the UK. What is important is that one get back to regular food in small steps starting with ice chips and then clear liquids and then soft, bland, foods. Otherwise, you could start a cycle of barfing again. I was eating Jell-O and rice soup. The rice soup was made with no heart. That was sad. Being sick and then sad is misery.

I think you mean something like this:

There are many types, you wanted the ginger type.

I've never heard of jook without ginger. OTOH, the one I had was gingerless so I guess anything is possible. OTOH, jook without ginger has no miraculous, restorative, properties.

Oh dear That was awful. I hope you are both better now?

It was awful but it's all over now. I don't know what you'd call this disease in the UK. It's highly contagious and caused by several different viruses and generally called "stomach flu" or "gastroenteritis." It's an interesting disease and famous too. You've probably read about it infecting entire cruise ships. Oddly enough, we had received flu shots a day before this started but gastroenteritis is unrelated to flu.

Your best bet for avoiding this is to wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face. There is no cure for stomach flu - you just have to ride it out. It is important to follow a progressive diet or it could get "messy."

Yes, I know gastroenteritis! Horrible. I had it once, many years ago in
Germany. We were travelling and stopped at a small cafe/restaurant. I was
so ill after eating there! Eating out is such a rare event now I don't have
to worry too much. I love to cook, D loves to eat my cooking .. so who
needs to go out <g>

Anyway I hope you are both fully recovered.

Likely norovirus or winter vomiting disease.

Not fully - just around 90%. We're still feeling a little weak. There is however, a mild euphoria about being alive.
