One-Pan Singapore Noodles Recipe – Fuss Free Cooking

Probably a good thing I usually don’t mind some repetition, because guess what my tentative plan for supper was 😉 More rice noodles, using a lot of the same ingredients I ended up throwing in the emergency soup. Different seasonings, though.

With some changes to this basic recipe, as usual, but it didn’t sound bad. I do kind of wish you could easily get the bags of coleslaw mix here, because easy precut vegetables for a number of uses. Stir fry mixes are usually the closest you’re going to find, though. Tonight I’m just substituting some green beans and shredded carrots. Plus some shrimp, and using part chicken broth instead of water for extra yum.

I haven’t tried Singapore noodles with the one pot absorption method before, but it worked really well with pancit bihon and a couple of other dishes. Besides being easy, the noodles do pick up the flavors nicely. With Singapore noodles, that should also hopefully help avoid the weird dusty texture you sometimes get from dry frying the noodles with curry powder.

Haven’t updated Mr. C yet on the drain situation. Still not at my best, to put it mildly, and I don’t trust myself to produce much more than angry word vomit. Even typing.

We should maybe both be glad he’s in Helsinki and not about to leave work right now 😬

a-necessary-dream:

Under Trump’s laughable immigration plan, I wouldn’t qualify to immigrate to the U.S. because my doctorate is in law (not STEM) and my comfortable government law salary is considered “low paying.”

Oh, except this isn’t just “laughable” – it’s the stark reality that would be faced by people who really want to immigrate here and have a lot to contribute in their own way. I don’t think it’ll pass, but the fact that someone even proposed it as a serious idea is ridiculous.

My husband and I had a long debate last night about the wording on this quiz trying to figure out if you had to:

1)  have a US professional degree OR a whatever other type of degree in STEM, or 
2) if it meant you have to have a US professional degree in STEM or this other type of degree in STEM.

(I mean the plan is dumb regardless, but also poorly worded either in the bill or in this quiz. Which is probably indicative of the exact types of issues that would arise if you throw together a points system haphazardly) 

The underside of that drain cover from the nasty water coming up from under there, while the guy was working 😦

(He’d gone back to the van to get something then. I was also kind of surprised he put up that barrier as SOP, working in a walled-off area well away from pedestrians.)

And an after shot of the patio situation! 👌 Before, and the water was even higher by today.

So now I feel like shutting down and going to sleep for a while after that disruption, but I really need to get some food in. Part of the problem right now is likely from a stress-related blood sugar crash, anyway.
