Waste Not,Want Not



Skipped grocery shopping for almost two weeks,rushing to attend workout sessions,meeting friends up over dinner has left my lao gong in an unpleasant mood,to say the least...coming home famished,and a peep under the food-cover reveal one pathetic vegetable dish is hardly his idea of a standard dinner fare...Not that my helper do not know how to cook,but when she require 45 minutes to get a stir-fried vegetable dish ready from the chopping board to the table,excluding washing -up,well,it seem so much easier to just double the portion for a hungry man rather than attempting to satisfy the tastebuds by cooking more dishes,anyway,back to the salmon,well,these are what we are left with,while I am glad that the fish came completed,it also prove a challenge as to what to do with the niffy-gritty bits,read"scales,tail and little flesh on bones" The possibilities were not limited ,I realised,but since I had only bare essentials,it make sense to prepare my own version of salmon-sardine spaghetti bolognese...haha..Boiled some water,dumped in the rinsed "spare parts",remove ,flaked it and coupled with canned mushrooms,bottled spaghetti sauce,canned sardines,wholemeal spaghetti,thrown in some capsicums,grated cheese ,I was able to well,prepared a one-dish dinner,with minimal fuss,satisfy the hunger and tastebuds of that lao gong,what more can I ask for?haha....
