Just watched one of my favourite movies on TCL, Cocoon. It is a space movie and it is marvellous, in my opinion. It was made in 1985 and the first time I saw it was in a collection of VHS tapes collected by friends who also owned a mobile home in NC. I was viewing and sorting at the same time. Wilford Brimley is one of my favourites along with Brian Denehey. Matt used to love it too but sadly doesn't really understand it now.
I learned one thing tonight. I decided to get some food from Red Lobster for supper tonight. It arrived a bit earlier than I expected. However, it was all packed in boxes etc. and I put Matt's stuff in front of him and grabbed my own. He was very unhappy, said he didn't know I was doing this, and he wasn't going to eat it. Followed by something of a row. He went over to his lounger and sulked. Only word I can think of that fits. I dug into my crab legs and whilst doing so, thought about it all. Eventually I took his food and put some rice, a piece of fish and some shrimp on a plate and heated it all up. I then called him over having cleared the table his end, and he came and ate. He was, what my mother would call "overfaced". I will never do that again. If I do order from RL again, I will be sure to dish his out in a normal way. It never occurred to me before, but like I said, I know now.
Sitting in the living room I could hear a lot of noise which sounded like kids (patio window open) so I went out to look figuring I would yell something about distancing if necessary. When I got outside, turned out it was the members of a family, spaced out in families who were there to wish Gtrandma Happy Birthday. What a great idea and how nice. Just shows grumpy ol' me. Did you see on the news, New Zealand have completely eradicated C-19? Of course, they are at risk if they open their ports and airports, but they have done a fantastic job.
Laundry day again tomorrow, boy does it ever come around fast. Seems only five minutes since I was talking about it last week. I really need to get my rear end out and get myself some fizz too. Maybe in the afternoon.
I am always going on about Instant Pot Stuffed Peppers but I came across this recipe and thought it would be of interest to those of you who don't have an Instant Pot. Of course you do have to have an air fryer. I don't know if I ever cooked this recipe, but of course, the beauty of the Instant Pot is that you don't have to cook the peppers first.
Air Fryer Roasted Stuffed Peppers
2 medium green peppers, stems and seeds removed - cooked in boiling salted water for 3 minutes
½ medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp olive oil
8 oz lean ground beef
½ cup tomato sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
1. Preheat air fryer as per directions - I used the 390 setting. If using convection toaster oven, preheat to 400 degrees.
2. Sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet until golden and remove from burner to cool. Blend the beef, cooked vegetables, ¼ cup tomato sauce, Worcestershire, salt and pepper and half the shredded cheese in a medium bowl. Divide and stuff the pepper halves - top with remaining tomato sauce and cheese. Arrange in the air fryer basket (or in small Pam-sprayed baking dish) and air fry or bake until meat is cooked through - 15 to 20 minutes
