Lots of SPAM this morning. I had to go back quite a long way, in the end I got fed up with it and will maybe delete more later. Why do people do this? It really is a waste of time. Looks like I am being singled out at the moment. Oh well, maybe some of you men will appreciate the information and maybe we ladies can be amused by it!!!
We joined ladydog at Mandarin for lunch today and, as it is the last time I am likely to be able to eat dumplings this year, well such a large variety anyway, I ate rather a lot. I will no doubt cry when I look at the scales. We were reading our characters from the table mats, I am a Tiger and it said various things including that I was patient. When I read that out, ladydog laughed. I wonder why?
Our doctor's office had phoned for me to go see them this afternoon, but I told them I probably wouldn't be done eating in time so now I am gong to see them next Wednesday to discuss my blood test from December. Also I booked for Matt to discuss his more recent tests on his hips/legs.
This afternoon I checked all the numbers in my new phone. Several were wrong, I was pretty careful about altering them.
ladydog directed me to this recipe, she says it is delicious. There is a stove top version which I didn't bother to copy but if you need it I have linked it at the bottom. In fact as we were pretty full from eating Chinese, I decided to make it for supper this evening, Wednesday, and it was delicious. I thought it might make a good sauce for shrimp too. By the way, I used canned tomatoes and honey.
Tomato Coconut Soup
A warming, comforting, spicy, & tasty pressure cooker Tomato Coconut Soup made in your instant pot or pressure cooker. Taste Indian food like never before!
1 can Full-Fat Coconut Milk, full fat
1 Red Onion, diced
6 Tomatoes, chopped in quarters
1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
1 tsp Garlic, minced
1 tsp minced ginger, minced
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cayenne
1 tsp Turmeric
1 Tbs agave nectar, (see list of subs in Notes)
1. Put all ingredients into the Instant Pot and cook on High for 5 minutes. Allow the pot to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. After that, release pressure. If you start to see sputtering and spewing from the valve, close the valve and try again in 5 minutes.
2. Remove from the pot and use an immersion blender to mix all the ingredients together and get a smooth soup.
Servings: 4

You can use a 14-oz can of tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes if you prefer.
Agave can be replaced by your sweetener of choice including honey, maple syrup, Splenda, xylitol, stevia, Truvia, etc.
Have a great day

Sigh on the spam front. They seem to hit individuals with dozens and dozens of messages - and then move on. I got hit about ten days ago.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the doctor - for both of you.
And thank you for telling me about the link to your son-in-law's work. It is truly amazing.
It must take them a lot of time to do this, seems a waste to me.
DeleteThanks. Our doc is some distance away and I hate having to go there, but....
Your'e welcome Sue. We have three originals and a whole bunch of prints of his work and really enjoy them.

Hi Jo - glad you picked up on the spam ... I just delete and totally ignore it. Glad you enjoyed lunch with Ladydog and took full opportunity of your last visit for this year. All the best til the doctor's appointments next week - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt's a nuisance though Hilary. Trouble is, not just one message but several blogs back. Not the last visit this year, just the last visit for their New Year celebration. Thanks.
DeleteIt's a long time since I went to Mandarin. Maybe time to give it shot. I drive past the one in Kitchener regularly. A family doctor I had many years ago told me that the sure fire way to maintain a stable weight was to never have seconds and never to visit a buffet restaurant where you inevitably eat far more than you should. A little regular exercise (as long as you are able) doesn't hurt either!
ReplyDeleteI should take your advice when I go to Mandarin David, but I don't. As for the exercise, I do that.
DeleteSpam on your blog posts? Set it for comment moderation after so many days and that gets many of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex. I will try that.
DeleteI haven't posted on my original Blog (Pencilpix) for months as I write independent travel blogs whilst we're travelling (we were in India in November and Fuerteventura in January) but I always have to set Moderation on each one as every Blog gets attacked by Spammers. Such a pain!
ReplyDeleteWe eat a lot of soup at this time of year so I'll add this recipe to my 'to try' file.
Haven't seen any of those blogs Sue. Read some of your first blogs on India but that was it.
DeleteThis is delicious soup and I ended up using some of it with shrimp which was great too.
What Alex said. I do that with my older posts. Just easier. Tim has his that way too. As for coconut and tomato soup, so yummy together.
