Simple, Delicious Meals

 What else to do when I'm done with other household chores?  I looked inside our fridge and noticed that somebody had spilled something on the vegetable crisper. Juice and droplets of Ketchup on the glass cover surface of the vegetable storage that needs cleaning. No problem. Have to clean it with Fantastik for thorough clean/sanitize effect, done in few minutes.

Now to think again for our lunch and dinner. It's not easy to be a chef or it's never easy to be a cook at home. It's always been the question of what to cook this time without repeating the same viand. You know members of the family get so bored, annoyed or irritated with the usual ordinary boring same o same o kind of meals. However, there are members who would rather having same kind of meals from last week. Of course everyone would like spaghetti once every week. For me, like having pancit once every week. I would like to have at least a meal of rice and fish 3x a week. However, fish especially salmons are expensive in Canada. There are frozen fish available in supermarket such as: mackerels, scads, snapper, halibut (costly ier than salmon), white fish, tilapia, maybe tuna inside cans (canned tuna). I'm craving fish but husband doesn't like buying fish. He is a meat lover. He loves beef more than pork and fish for his viands.

He likes potatoes over rice and noodles.

 The kind of potatoes he likes for salad only. We ran out of eggs so that's for later. Instead had the ordinary potatoes for fries and grilled beef. I can't stand eating the whole beef steak, just a small piece is just okay and would rather have a scoop of steamed rice and beansprout/shrimps/sausage stir fry plus dessert.

The meal that is simple and ordinary is what makes me happy. Did you know that you can better taste and savor the flavour of beef when you just use simple ingredients of: dash of salt, ground  black pepper and sprinkle or oregano leaves. Yum!
