February 18, 2021 Breakfast - Lax and Bagel Lunch – Vietnamese Pho Noodle Soup Dinner – PPI Texas Chili Enchiladas

February 18, 2021 Breakfast - Lax and Bagel   Lunch – Vietnamese Pho Noodle Soup Dinner – PPI Texas Chili Enchiladas

Today’s delight was seeing the Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera Mexican Modernism Exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum.  It was fabulous exhibit of the Collection of a European Couple named Gelman who found refuge in Mexico from the Nazis who put together a fabulous collection.  They were friends with Frida and Diego who each painted their portraits. I highly recommend seeing the Exhibit that is on display until May. It contains some of the best Diego and Frida’s paintings and photographs I have ever seen.

Breakfast was one toasted slice of bagel spread with cream cheese and garnished with sliced onion, lax and capers.

For lunch I made a Pho soup with the one-half PPI burger with melted Manchego cheese in a two quart pot filled 2/3 full of water plus dehydrated beef stock, a Pho seasoning cube, a heaping T. of red miso, plus two baby bok choy diced, six snow peas halved, two mushrooms sliced, and one shallot minced, to which I added a bundle of bean thread noodles, a bundle of egg noodles, and a handful of brown rice vermicelli sticks.  After 30 minutes everything was integrated and cooked for a delicious noodle soup with a rich broth.

Dinner was even more simple.  After seeing the exhibit we heated squares of PPI Texas Chili Enchiladas and garnished them with avocado sour cream and I added an egg to my dish to supercharge the protein. I had made the enchiladas in a large pyrex baking dish with two layers of corn tortillas softened in oil and green chili sauce, two layers of grated mozzarella cheese, two layers of Texas chili con carne, and a layer of sliced avocado.  I loved the enchiladas.

After dinner we ate the last of a pint of Jenni’s peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream for dessert.

After dinner we made plans to drive to Las Vegas and visit Bryce and Zion National Parks.

Now that we have two doses of vaccine we are beginning to stretch our wings and move a bit more in the world. 

 Bon Appetit and arte
