 October 21, 2020 Lunch – Shrimp and Fish Ball Vietnam Noodle&&)& Soup. Dinner – PPI Duck Ragout with Penne and Steamed Baby Yellow Squash

Today was frustrating in the market. It went up and down and then up and down 100 points at the end of the day. My portfolio was down about .6% at what it was two days ago.  So we continue on a roller coaster ride in the market.  It looks like a Biden victory is the only hope for stability in the Market and it will be a rough ride until then.

I ate granola, yogurt, blueberries and milk for breakfast.

  Then at 10:00 I toasted a slice of Trader Joe’s wheat bagel and spread it with cream cheese and garnished it with a slice of onion and five slices of Iberico cheese.

At 1:00 I made a Vietnamese Noodle   Soup with shrimp, fish balls, Napa cabbage, white onion, dehydrated dashi, a Vietnamese seasoning cube, egg white noodles, chicken dumplings, and white miso.  It was delicious, especially seasoned with squirts of fish sauce and hoisen sauce.

  

The hoisin  and shriracha and sweet chili sauce

 

 I dipped the shrimping and fish cake slices in shiracha and hoisen and sweet chili sauce After lunch I napped until until 4:30 when Suzette arrived carrying a box of baby yellow squash and zucchini.

We walked almost a mile at 5:00.U

We decided to steam the yellow squash and eat it with the last of the Duck Ragout.  I also microwaved the PPI Penne and lay a handful of them in the bottom of the pasta bowl before covering them with Ragout.  We lay the squash around the edge of the plate.

I may have overcooked the squash but the were delicious if a bit water logged.

I opened a new bottle of Cotes Du Rhone bought at Trader Joe’s for $5.99 last week. It was mostly Syrah  and Grenache and overly heavy.

 Suzette said , “it was okay.”    Not great, not bad, just okay.

 After dinner we drank the last of the bottle with a chocolate chip cookie.

I am feeling better now that I am exercising every day.

We will cook again tomorrow.

Bon Appetit
