Jealous.

I don’t want to take this into OMNI land, but seriously, look up the history of the term Aunt Jemima and it’s history in minstrel shows. You’ll see why that name/term was hurtful to a segment of the population in the US.

Wow... I was under the impression that it was created by a woman named Jemima (and obviously sold/marketed by the white slave owners) but that having her name on it honored her legacy. I see I was clearly mistaken :o

And back to your regularly scheduled programming... this morning I had oatmeal and some of the kimchi, which really only needed a little salt.

breakfast... leftover pizza, and a bowl of corn flakes!

Still more kueh pie tee .. some with the sweet sauce , no chilli or coriander or prawn yet

Think might have been an iPad typo , thanks for alerting , need to scroll up later to check

Our Peranakan older generation did the range of excellent dishes - lots of grand aunts to assist my grandma over various festivities and special occasions plus younger “ elves “ including us ( more a hindrance than a help ) besides the “ amah chehs “ .. quite a team or a few .. shift ( s ) .

Made own egg poh piah skins , pie tee shells .. those were the good old days

Did you eat the $200 as well? :)

Today I have had coffee and a piece of almond kringle. It's the world's best danish, basically. You can usually find it at Trader Joe's.

Your food always looks so good FlyerEC!

I just put some cubed chicken in the oven to bake. Marinated for the last 24-25 hours or so in (self-seasoned) pickle juice, hot sauce, a dash of lime juice, and a few other spices. I call it "pickle chicken" and it is usually very tasty, especially when it marinates for an extended period. Looking forward to having it for the rest of the week. If I remember (and if I can figure out how to do it with the recent FT update) I will upload a photo.

Well I forgot... and now it's all in a ziploc and doesn't look like anything special :o Oh well it tasted good, though I probably could have skipped the lime.

Also had a sliced cucumber with a dijon russian dressing dip I made.

Broccoli cheddar soup for brunch.

You misunderstood. :) I've never heard it being called kueh pie tee. And I've never thought of it as a kueh. So it took a few moments for it to register it.

I've never made poh piah skins. I've seen them being made, but never tried it myself. Maybe one day I will. I suspect next time I'm over there I'm going to get a stern talking to. Thinking of the next family gathering there... everyone will dabao food over and I'll be the loser who tries to make something...

you could probably cook Korean food better than these restaurants! You’re braslvr! You’re the best!

About the only thing I might be best at is copying Jimboy's Tacos. I need to get back to my mission of making decent cabbage kimchi. 1st couple attempts not so great, but I learned things.

If I made an apricot chutney and included a dry chardonnay in the base, then smothered this on well seasoned bone in pork chops before broiling….would this work? I’m not in the mood for my normal pork chop preparations.BBQ, fried with gravy).
What do you think panel?

As a snack earlier I had a couple of ounces of the pickle chicken.

Just had dinner from a place called Eva's Kitchen. Eva's omelet (five baked egg whites) with peppers and onions, and a baked sweet potato. Also got a spicy chicken salad with brown rice for tomorrow.

Italian sausage and fennel pesto spaghetti. My dad had a jar of Costco pesto that expired a couple weeks ago and I decided to make use of it. I used almost half the jar for a half package of noodles, yet the noodles look naked.

Sounds terrific. Let us know how it turns out.

From Costco? :) We bought some during their last sale, and I thought it pretty good.
