Mmmmmmmango is scrumptious. Raw, cooked, and pickled. This time of year it’s hard to get a good fresh one but this morning we sliced open an almost perfect mango. Sweet, juicy, and not squishy. Half each in each kids’ lunch, and then mangoes appeared in my lunch too.
Leftover mango chicken with green beans served on basmati rice. A large dollop of yogurt and a large dollop of mango chutney to take any curry up a notch. The challenge is to get a bit of everything in every single bite. Pretty sure I can do it.

Today is a day of tedious, unpleasant paperwork, that I really would rather not do. The sun is shining outside (in the first time in what feels like forever), and it is calling my name! But alas, I have to say I will come and play another day. Back to the paperwork that I do not want to do. Getting it done will bring sunnier days to come.
Last night’s leftover rice and chicken korma, warmed in a bowl. Topped with a generous dollop of yogurt, some mango chutney, and fresh chopped cilantro. Even the crappiest day can be made better with a bowl of goodness like that.

I love risotto. I suck at making it. It has been a long time since I made accidental mortar, so perhaps I should try again one day soon. Or not. Until then, I’ll enjoy it when made by others or go with the pseudo…
Leftover rice, leftover roast chicken pulled into pieces, green onion, and grated pecorino romano cheese, tossed in a bowl, mixed up, and nuked until melty. Top with more green onions and grated cheese.

We had our 7th annual Hallowe’en play date cum family gathering on the weekend. It started, 7 years ago, as a dozen new moms dressing up our puddles of baby for our own entertainment. These days, it has grown to include moms, dads, and many many children. A potluck with a creepy theme makes for a very interesting lunch. Or maybe you go hungry if you get queasy easily.
Today it is a lunch of leftover maggots cooked in blood, topped with intestine filling. It is much tastier than it sounds. 🙂
