A nice cod fillet, lightly breaded and pan fried in a scant amount of
oil in a non-stick skillet on the stovetop. Steamed asparagus to go
with it.

What's cooking at your house tonight?

My wife cooked supper tonight. She had been planning on something
involving stir fried chicken breast and vegetables and was counting on
me doing it. I really didn't feel like cooking and I thought it was
about time she did some stir frying instead of always expecting me to do
that. She did it differently than I would have but she did a great job.
She rubbed it with salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder and pan fried
it. Then the prepped broccoli, onion, red and green peppers, some garlic
and ginger. She used a little canola oil to stir fry it and at the end
she added some sesame oil. It was great.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have a stir-fry pan (it's basically a flat
bottom wok with a handle like a skillet) that works well on my ancient
electric stove. I should stir-fry things more often. But I'm not
thinking stir-fried "Asian" food with *sauce* and rice. Very simple
stir fry of seasoned meat and veggies. Nice!

I cleaned up some leftovers and freed up some refrigerator space.

It's good that your majesty is eating cods again. I bet it makes you feel
satisfied. It's a start, your highness!

We had some 1" thick pork butt steaks (from today's meat buying
foray) grill-baked potatoes and homegrown/canned green beans . I forgot
to serve the homegrown pickled beets ...
Doggus Maximus (the Handsome Hairball) loves it when I grill these
butt steaks . They have a fairly thick rind of fat which I trim off and
grill just for him .

I use my wok for fried rice and lo mein in addition to stir-fry with
sauce . Lately I've been using only sesame seed oil , I think it really
makes a difference in the overall flavor profile .

If Jill were breast feeding, her poor lil' moppet would surely wither and die, what with her on that Barbie Doll Diet she follows...

Nothing very interesting, but I made pizza dough for Friday or Saturday
lunch. It's not rising very well; I might have kept the yeast too long.
There's a little activity, but nothing like I usually get. Time will
tell. And waiting until Saturday seems more likely.

Really, that's the worst battle cry ever. Taking your life removes
all your freedom.

In any event, the only kind of freedom enjoyed in the Middle Ages was
the freedom to take your place in the feudal order.

Sesame oik is not a great cooking oil. Most people use only a little,
mainly for the flavour, and add it near the end of the process.

According to my artificially intelligent friend:

"There are two main types of sesame oil: toasted and untoasted.
Toasted sesame oil has a much lower smoke point than untoasted sesame
oil and is not recommended for frying. Untoasted sesame oil, on the
other hand, has a high smoke point and can be used for frying,
stir-frying, and other high-heat cooking applications.

Refined vs. unrefined: Sesame oil can also be refined or unrefined.
Refined sesame oil has a higher smoke point than unrefined sesame oil,
making it a better choice for frying. Unrefined sesame oil has a more
intense flavor, but it is not as heat-stable."

They had some nice 1" thick pork steaks for grilling on sale at Publix
week before last. 2 per package. They were so big I'd have to cut each
of them in half; the bone would have made that problematic so I passed
on them.

That's because you have a brain, and an education.
Unfortunately, there are many brainless, uneducated twits out there, and
_they_ believe it's all true.
