Today I decided to add a few more
meals to what I cooked up and posted yesterday (2020 COOKATHON #2). When
the weather settles down and I start spending more time in my garden … and
hopefully hiking soon; I’m not going to feel like pulling a meal together at
Suppertime. I’ll be too bushed.
I made the Mustard-Broiled
Flounder with Tilapia fillets because flounder isn’t available in my
immediate area at the moment, and I had Tilapia fillets in my freezer. The
recipe intrigued me: I’d never heard of using horseradish on fish before. This
recipe is simple and easy to make, and smells like it will taste good.
I actually woke up thinking about
Egg Foo Yung, so I made it this afternoon ;-) I used red cabbage,
because that was what I had on hand and was too lazy to drive into town to buy
green cabbage … and that is why my chinese-style pancakes are green: the
blue juice of the red cabbage and the yellow yolks of the eggs = green. I
burst out laughing when I saw the batter and my thoughts immediately went to ‘Dr.
Seuss’s Green Eggs & Ham’ story :-D
They may look funny, but I am
sure they will taste just fine – and I will get a good laugh out of them every
time I pull them out of the freezer. It is good to have humor in your day
;-)
The Turkey-Leek Casserole
is a repeat recipe posted to my Blog –(http://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2017/12/turkey-leek-casserole.html).
I used a new type of noodle in the dish this time … it should be interesting to eat ;-)

I also put small foil cups of
fruit in 4 foil pans; I haven’t done this before, so I’m not sure how well
the fruit will hold up in the freezer – we’ll see when I pull them out and eat
them. I used White Peaches. Bob had seen them in the store and wanted to try
them: he liked them, so I bought more … and then, Bob was no more. So today I
opened a can, and managed to scoop them into their designated foil cups without
crying. I am healing.
I divided this can of sliced peaches among the fish and egg foo yung meals.

MUSTARD-BROILED FLOUNDER ~ Makes 2 servings
½ Garlic clove, minced * ¼
teaspoon Salt * 1½ teaspoon prepared Mustard * ½ teaspoon Lemon
Juice * ¼ teaspoon Horseradish * 12 ounces Flounder fillets *

Using flat side of a knife, mash

pastry brush, brush mustard mixture evenly over one side of the fillets. Broil
approximately 5 minutes – or until fish flakes easily with the touch of a fork.
Ready for oven
I cook my meals for freezer fare – I portioned the finished meal out for 2 meals (added some canned spinach & peach slices – covered the food with plastic wrap, and added a roll); covered the filled pan with its lid, trimmed the excess foil & wrap, & labeled it. Then I froze them

It’s been a relaxing day today –
even with the cooking; I ate one container of the Penne with Shrimp and Pepper Sauce that I made yesterday … it was pretty good. Now, I’m going to kick back and relax, look for the 3
stars in the night sky that signal the close of Shabbat, enjoy a small goblet
of white wine; and see if I can see the smiley face in the heavens that is
supposed to appear tonight :-D

week” :-D
