Planet Tokyo | The Kitchen - Seafood Plan

Planet Tokyo Menu Plan The Sauce White sauce with splash of white wine (blend ahead with corn flour) with splash of brandy handful or so Parmesan potentially fresh thyme (undecided) fresh parsley hot English mustard peeled, pulverised fresh tomato good slug of tomato sauce chilli sauce Tabasco sauce maybe some Worcestershire sauce The Prawns quick wok fry of fresh prawns / throw into sauce The Rice plain might be better than fancy ... but I have an urge to mess with rice inspired by Indian, but not Indian fry onion / garlic / bay leaves / fennel seeds / capsicum add fresh tomato (peeled & chopped) & any other (eg paprika, chilli or whatever)  add washed rice / fry off add frozen peas  / sliced mushrooms (I need to get rid of) / handful of chopped fresh spinach (final 5 mins). add stock simmer 20-25 mins Vegetables Extras pumpkin / microwave broccoli / wok fry Technique for combining white wine into white sauce here. Other inspirations (although different style - ie. cream-based  sauce):  here and here. I'm not sticking to any recipe.  Just using recipes for ideas. Making it up as I feel like doing. Complicated rice is probably overkill, but I've got an urge. Maybe I should resist the urge.  LOL.  Yep.  Might resist the urge to mess with that today and throw the tomato into my sauce, after I give it a food processor whizz.  What a pain.  It means having to wash the food processor after mushing one single tomato. Edit:  threw most of my extra sauce condiment type ingredients into the blender, so that my white sauce prep is reduced to making  basic white sauce (with a fried onion/garlic base), tipping in  the mushed fresh tomato & various condiments combo in one single hit, followed by the wine blend thingy, and then by handful of Parmesan cheese & any herb I want. This could either turn out really nice ... or disastrous.   L I S T E N I N G AUDIO | #1.0 This was #1 hit in UK when Iraq was illegally invaded: "Spirit In The Sky" by Gareth Gates reached #1 on 16 March 2003 (source) Illegal invasion Iraq days later, on:  20 March 2003 Next #1 hit UK "Make Luv (Original Mix)" by Junior Jack reached #1 on:  30-03-2003 (source) I don't like the 'Make Luv' song.  It's horrible. Can't work out the US charts at the time. Dixi Chicks remade the Fleetwood Mac song 'Landslide' that year.  I prefer Fleetwood Mac.  But I'm not into this slow song. This is my favourite Fleetwood Mac, I think.  Even though it's slow, it has impact.  I like the force of the drum. It was all fun and games until I got a scowling face because the rice was 'cold' (his idea of 'cold' and mine don't match ...  LOL) ... And I got the whining because I did Asian vegetables in Teriyaki to go with the seafood creation.  LMAO. For an instant, I was so pissed off, I could seriously have broken up with him right that minute over his scowling face.  That's how much it pisses me off.  All I need is to look at that scowling face and it's over. I'm going to have to take a photo the next time he pulls it, so I can pin it up on the refrigerator as a reminder of his charming nature.  LOL LOL ... he told me I'm 'getting worse', whatever that means.  At cooking, I presume.  PMSL. I think he's just having a bad day.  No way was that a bad meal.  He's off his head.  LOL I'm not mega upset that I had scowling complaints about the food and my competence.  I'm laughing too much to care. PS ...  Mr F*ck Face ate his entire meal, so how bad could it have been?  Nothing wrong with it.  Teriyaki vegies are a bit of an overkill, but who cares?  They just go down the hatch.   I'm so sick of cooking.  It's so pointless.  All that hassle for something that disappears in an instant and gets crapped out.  LOL Nice & Loud
