S gave us a pack of home-pickled tsukemono. I wasn't expecting it, so that was really lovely. It was cabbage /キャベツの浅漬け. Oh noms! I'm not a kimchi person, but I am all about tsukemono.
It came at a perfect timing because I was kinda on a 'fake diet' before a scheduled medical. LOLOL So I couldn't do alcohol, and I was trying not to do so much spam and beef (steak) and such. Yet I didn't want to eat salads for my meals. Went easy on the carbs too. The tsukemono would add a crunch to my 'streamlined' meals.
I didn't want to have it go to waste or dis-respect it. So I decided to cook a simple meal to go along with it. S laughed and said that my "kitchen exists because of Choya". She is not inaccurate. Hurhurhur.
Happiness is knowing that I have a frozen portion of fish bone broth. A few weeks back, I had used bones of hamachi, mackerel and threadfin to cook a pot for the dog, and froze a portion for the humans. That made meal prep so much easier.
Hopped in to the supermarket to grab clams, prawns and ikan batang. The man would require more protein than just fish. Clams and prawns always hit a spot for him. Mine wouldn't hold the shellfish. Pan-seared the ingredients before adding them to the fish bone broth for a short boil. Ta-dahhhhh. The man had it with brown rice. I passed on the carbs. That was dinner. It was supremely satisfying.
