GRANPA ATE CHINESE FOOD FOR VALENTINE'S DAY-SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY

With the Coronavirus or Corvid19 causing unnecessary fears in the community, the Chinese community has experienced the majority of those fears. People have stayed away from their restaurants and stores. Business is suffering.

So Adolph and I would have preferred the option of having any food we liked, chose to have Chinese Food from our favourite local establishment.

A full meal from Choice of the Orient in Richmond Hill was ordered early in the day for pickup at 430 pm.

Adolph prefers the regular wings and egg rolls. Also the peppered seafood combination, Cantonese Chow Mein and some fried rice. I threw in some honey garlic ribs.

We save the Fortune cookies for one of our grandsons who really loves them.

Granpa can not help everyone but can help one place at a time.

FEBRUARY- TIME FOR ROASTS AND SLOW COOKING

So hard to find foods Adolph still likes to eat. So decided to slow cook a roast with a gravy mix added. Just a little onion.

It turned out quite well. The gravy was so good. Day 2- I made it into a beef stew with some carrots, onion, peas, little cherry tomatoes that were soft, little potatoes. Simmered for a hour to cook the veggies.
Always good with some crunchy Italian buns or bread.

Winter weather is so conducive to oven and slow cooker meals. I love the aroma in the home for the afternoon.

So today the time honoured MacnCheese. Along with cheddar cheese, I will add some provolone to give it a little Italian flair.
