Summer is over. The Minnesota Get-together (Minnesota State Fair) ended today on Labor Day. No work but I was slaving at home. Why?? Because I was lazing around yesterday doing nothing except I went for a morning walk/run and went to Cub Foods to pick up some groceries. Right after I got home, I sat on my butt, watch a movie (Mistress of Spices) which I didn’t finish, and slept for 3.5 hours, I think. I thought I would take a nap and do the weekly house chores when I get up from my slumber. Didn’t get up till 4:15 p.m. and by then, I felt more lethargic.
DB grilled some brats and I didn’t eat much coz I had a big bowl of “Kon Loh Meen” with left over curry, and slept! I frgot to take a picture of the noodles. Want to show my sister the packet of curry powder she sent, or is it my mom, was so good, I used them all. Anyways, before the brats were done, the movie “The Queen” was on and I was standing, swaying my hips left, right to move the noodles in gut so I don’t feel so sluggish. The movie was really good. The actress, Helen Mirren, who portrayed the Queen did an excellent job.
This morning, I busted my butt, got up earlier even though I was tired, went for my walk/run on the trails and almost eaten alive my the skeeters. Never used so much Mopiko in my life. Yeah, I still prefer Mopiko over After-Bite. After-Bite stings really bad when I apply on to the skin. I changed the sheets, vacumm, and cooked for the week. I cooked the recipes I copied from my sister’s years ago (2000) – Ceylon chicken and the other one is something chicken with red pepper.
This is the Ceylon chicken which I didn’t add the thick black soy sauce. So, I’m just waiting for her to criticize this picture! 
Next is this something chicken with red pepper. The sauce consists of white vinegar, sesame oil (as you can see, I ODed on the sesame oil), sugar, soy sauce, dry sherry and H2O. I didn’t know I ran out of dry sherry, so, I used the bottle of white wine that has been sitting in the pantry for a year. DB has not touched it!! Big Yeah!! So proud of him.
These two will be our dinners for the rest of the week with rice and steam brocco and cauli. Friday is junk food night. Week’s all set and back to act-busy tomorrow.
