Lazy, late dinner last night. Threw into the instant pot: a still-frozen block of ham bits leftover from Easter, a diced onion, a few cloves of garlic, diced potatoes, and chicken broth. 6 minutes under pressure. Stirred in a shredded block of cheddar/mozzarella, and some fresh parsley.
That's all we ate, but there's a bunch leftover, and I think it will make a great side for our next dinner (I'm thinking grilled chicken).
 
Marinated some meat for later. Half a kilo of boneless, skinless chicken thighs, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sake, 1 tbsp mirin, thumb of grated ginger, pinch of sugar, salt and white pepper. Again, real spoons, not the US measuring unit. Not sure if i just broil them, cube and make a veggie stir fry or even go out and buy some sesame oil and spring onions to make an asian style noodle dish.
That's a nice plate, i once gifted someone two bowls in that style and i'm still kinda mad i didn't keep 'em for myself because i never found them to buy again.
 
I made a resignation letter 🤌🏻
No longer had free reign of the kitchen I was in and if I'm going to work under someone I expect them to be more experienced than myself and at least as competent. Still got my other job and will probably go get in at a fine dining joint after enjoying a week of extra time in the day
 
Another fast meal on nulls pizza day.

Spaghetti squash, sauce made from canned peeled tomatoes, tomato paste, sauteed white onion, garlic and red bell pepper, with oregano, thyme, dill, salt and black pepper through the immersion blender. Added some sauteed mushroom in after.

First time using squash instead of noodles. Was delicious.
