January 12, 2026 Breakfast - Lax and bagel. Lunch - Fish Soup. Dinner - Enchilada and Bob’s Mexican Rice

Today we did very little cooking except for a lovely Mexican Rice I made for dinner of leftover enchiladas.

I toasted a bagel and smeared it with cream cheese and garnished with slices of red onion and Gravad lax and capers for breakfast.

For lunch I ate two bowls of leftover fish soup with two toasted slices of baguette.

For dinner we decided to eat leftover enchiladas that were filled with a layer of black garbanzo beans. I cooked my version of Mexican Rice.

I diced 1/2 green bell pepper, 1/2 poblano chili, about 1/4 red onion, two cloves of garlic, and a tomato that I sautéed. After the vegetables had cooked about ten minutes I added 1 1/2 cups of rice and cooked the rice and vegetables about another five minutes to risotto the rice a bit.

I then transferred the rice and vegetable mixture from the sauté skillet to a pot and added 3 cups of boiling water and cooked the rice and vegetables covered at low heat for thirty minutes.  The rice was delicious and particularly good with the enchiladas with a dab of sour cream.

We watched two episodes of Antiques Roadshow and some of the Pittsburgh v. Texans Wild card game and then worked on dematerialization for an hour or two.

Bon Appetit
