開年初二 :: 吉祥如意福滿門 :: 蝦仁煎蛋

I find a lot of joy in thinking about prepping food for the dogs. I have no interest in giving them treats for the sake of feeding them. I enocurage them to eat well in their main meals. Ryo said he would like two main meals a day, and if he is hungry on some days, he would ask for breakfast or a late-afternoon snack. Choya stuck to her three meals a day. But she doesn’t mind four anyway. Hahaha. 

I like thinking about food for the floofs and nutritional value they bring. I’m working on balancing Ryo’s gut flora after the major bout of diarrhea and antibiotics last November. I know what he’s allergic to, and his food preferences. It’s both fun and challenging figuring out his diet in order for him to give me consistent solid poop daily. 

Bought amaebi for everyone. They all had the sweet prawns as sashimi on the day they were bought. Ryo isn’t fond of raw seafood, but he ate the amaebi. Choya loves prawns; she’ll eat them in any form. The husband had them as a shrimp cocktail with whisky. Haha.

For $16.90, this was a generous pack. The floofs and the husband couldn’t eat that many prawns in a day. I didn’t want to trigger any histamines or allergies in the floofs from over-eating. So the next day, it was time to sear the prawns. Then it could keep for two more days. #ImpieCooks2025

Ryo can’t do chicken, turkey and eggs. I seared his prawns plain instead and flavored them with thyme and oregano. He definitely prefers prawns (and fish) cooked—seared, really, so there's more umami for him. Made Choya an easy omelette with prawns and kale. She loves eggs, and she loves it when the eggs come with filling. 

As for the husband, I made him a thick omelette with loads of minced garlic. And kale. The kale in the little pods is still growing and going strong. Might as well harvest and use the leaves well. The sweet prawns made the omelette so fragrant. The husband liked having that for breakfast, with kimchi. Heh.

Breakfast was hearty this morning for everyone. Except me because I can't do breakfast much. The floofs and husband needed some fuel before going out to play. Everyone is pleased with the flavors and variety of food they’re getting this week.
