Tonight were having for dinner

We still had part of a rotisserie chicken left, so we made shredded chicken tacos with pickled veggies and coconut rice pudding.

Bonjour Mister T 😷

I'm doing slightly better in that the fever broke down but now I'm coughing much more with a running nose and lot of gross stuff from my throat. Without surprise the PCR came back positive so I'm officially in lockdown for 7 days. My brother will drop groceries for me tomorrow. 

Hello Clo, The fever breaking is a good sign, but still get a lot of rest, water and eat good foods.  I hope you will recover long before the lockdown ends.  Take good care of yourself.

I love how Pagey just pulls something like that out.  If it were me left over rotisserie chicken would be… left over rotisserie chicken.

Hi Spike!  I agree with you.  Page should share his recipes for leftovers.  They are great when you are cooking for only one or two people.  Aod and I always have leftovers that often sit in the refrig until they turn green. 🤪

I bought a rotisserie chicken at the deli. Half went into Waldorf chicken salad, and the other half went towards the tacos. The bones can be made into stock for soup, too.

My mom would have also been very impressed by you.  I have to thank her for my over large belly with her "waste not, want not" and "think of all the starving kids in China" arguments.  I just realized while writing this, that the first argument sounds  like something Yoda would say.

Now it is more like, "May the calories be with you."

I don't make stock very often; normally, I just use store bought soup stock. But, it's a skill that's useful to have.

It's a skill I would like to have here.  Even the big stores don't sell soup stock, just the bullion cubes.  Even those are only pork or chicken, so i need to learn to make others by myself.  Besides the cubes often have too much salt or no flavor if you water them down enough to balance the salt. ☹️

Is it only restaurants that prepare soup stock from scratch in Thailand?

Pagey, I could understand waking up at 4 a.m. to get ready for work, but why were you up at 3 a.m.?

Most everyone who cooks seems to make their own broths for cooking.  At the local markets (outdoor markets, not stores), I can buy chicken broth or sometimes pork broth, however. These are better than the cubes.  There are several of these markets in Chiang Mai, and I love to shop at a couple.  Others I avoid because of hygiene issues.  This solves some of the problems, but still need bases for cooking beef, vegetable and seafood recipes.

Nanny Drew strikes again.  What I want to know is why Drew is up at 3 a.m.?  🤔

Oh, OK. I thought you were going to blame it on Yayo.  Orange regularly makes sure I get up in the morning to feed her.  She is gentle, but I just can't ignore her use of claws on the bottoms of my feet, no matter how softly she does it. Drives me crazy.

My workplace is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's basically a weekend for me!
