Day 11

Day 11,
Still no start date for work, and working from home,
I got stuck into breakast, by adding some milk to the egg to make scramlbed eggs, and reduce the milk in my coffee.

Lunch was stuffed green peppers with chicken mince and quinoa, did the work out mid afternoon, before heading off to a work meeting, felt pumped after doing the work out, lower back still hurting, wish the pain would go away as it limits my movements,

Squid stuffed with Quinoa


Eggs cooked in microwave
The afternoon was spent doing perp for the next day or two, having 2 gas burners to work on, slows down the prep time,it is making me think of different meal combinations, and not having salt is difficult for a chef to work with out.
Dinner was  stuffed squid,  did not know if the flaovors would work but they did,I  used last nigths left over quiona and Italian herbs to sprinkle over the squid, baked it in the oven for about 10 minutes on low heat then under the grill to get some color, made tomato sauce using tin tomatoes and fresh basil.

I left this comment on our weekly email , A qucik and easy way to cook a egg in the Microwave.

Eggs cooked in the microwave, I used to do this when l felt lazy but it works, not sure how about using butter, try pam spray or olive ol spary in a can,In a ceramic bowl use some spary to wet the bowl, break the egg into the bowl, cover with glad wrap, cling film, or sarin wrap depends what part of the world you are from, use a fork to poke some holes in the wrap, microwave on medium heat for about 30 to 45 seconds, check at 30 second mark other wise you will have an explosion. 

Cheers

Tony

  2. Quinoa is at National Azabu or Nissin Lori. Tony - your food looks amazing.

    Here is the salt substitute from George Bumstead from my group: http://thepeakconditionproject-george.blogspot.com/2011/02/supplemental-great-salt-substitute.html

    1 teaspoon ground mace
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1 teaspoon ground sage
    1 teaspoon dried marjoram
    1 teaspoon dried basil
    1 tablespoon red or cayenne pepper
    1 teaspoon dried thyme
    1 tablespoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon dried parsley

    This is the stuff I would use. With eggs, I would thinly slice up garlic and use on a bit of oil and then an egg. Note - Costco has garlic cloves ready to use which is great.

    Keep it up Tones.
