So, i tested the canned gravy.
Bitter and nasty.
What a let down.
However, the rice dish survived.
Instead of the gravy, i put chicken soup broth powder.
I sent a bit with the missionaries.
I cooked 2 batches. The only difference with the second batch,
is that it has sliced beef wieners in it too.
For smokey meaty flavor.
Tonight at around 6:35pm i will be attending the
Jehovah’s witness zoom meeting.
Not that i approve of JWism,
but there is still value in it.
And when the covid stuff lets up,
we can have bbqs at the part again.
We used to visit as a congregation,
once every 2 weeks.
I thought so, anyway.
Tomorrow [monday] Andrew Bachelder will be visiting with me.
If things go according to plan.
He is one of my LDS friends.
I consider him a pretty good example of a real philosopher.
He cares about the truth deeply.
I’m going to offer him meatball rice
and standard rice.
I’ll see which one he would prefer.
I’ll probably go to the grocery store before our visit.
If so, i will probably get some sides for the rice.
Maybe some drinks, if i have room in my back pack.
Andrew’s wife needed the car for a doctor appointment on monday.
So we rescheduled for friday at noon / 12.
I’m looking forward to seeing him in 2 hours.
For the food :
Veggie rice, meatballs, and chili.
Mix and match.
There is also cheese.
I accidentally bought vegan cheese,
but it doesn’t taste bad so ill have it as an option.
I also have orange juice as the drink.
My friend JC is coming over at around 4:00pm my time.
I will cook pierogies, sour cream, beef wieners, cabbage and onions.
Also for drinks ill make orange tang since i just got a lot of that at the dollar store today.
I’ll start cooking at around 3:00pm i figure.
I cooked early, but he got off of his appointment early too.
We talked about life, social situations.
He liked my rendition of perogies.
I plan to help him out again with food on Sunday.
This time, rice will be made.
I just finished making a big tub of rice with sauce and veggie.
I put it in the fridge to cool.
Once cool, i will freeze the whole thing.
Then on sunday, ill deliver it to JC.
I’m pretty sure he will like it.
I ate a bit of it already, and to me it is fine.
I filled up my new roaster with beef, potatoes, onions, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, veggie juice, and later ill prepare the sour cream.
Some time tonight it will be ready.
At around 12 tomorrow morning i will drop off the goods for JC.
I also will bring tea. He loves herbal tea.
So now that I know that, i can drop off supplies like that.
Monique gave me a ride to JC’s home.
It was not very far away.
I brought the roast with veggie.
He ate 2 bowls full. I had just 1 bowl.
He rated it 8/10.
which isn’t bad,
but i aim for 9s and 10s.
We talked about life stuff.
He lead the conversation but i had some things to also say.
Well enough, it seems… likewise it seems that good conversation was had.
Over the next few weeks, I plan to make a Mexican chilli, cauliflower cheese, a Winter-vegetable gratin, wheat/tomato-free pizza, tandoori chicken, and whatever other dishes come to mind.
I accidentally missed LDS church this morning.
I was sleeping.
Next time i’ll get it.
Also the roast i made for JC and his relatives
didn’t last a day even. The 6 kids eat up everything.
I might go with rice again.
I might even use the big roaster for rice.
The roaster is so big.
Normally i used a regular large pot and cooked it full of rice twice.
But that may be down to cooking just 1 mega serving,
instead of 2 large servings.
Tomorrow i plan to complete the rice cassarol.
After that, i plan to serve up chili with cheese and bread.
I’ll use canned beans instead of cooking my own, this time.
Edward rated my rice 8.5 tonight.
But he rated the hot dog a 10.
He seems to have different tastes than i had expected.
But it was Juicy Jumbo All Beef Wieners,
and dempsters hot dog buns.
So maybe the quality level was high.
I plan to visit with Jared Bachelder tomorrow,
semi-early in the day.
First i want to buy him lunch at Wendy’s.
Next i want to load up on good deals,
at the dollar store near the Wendy’s.
Besides this id like to have some conversation, too.
