Munchie Monday: Nori Burrito!

Sometimes one is just too tired to make anything fancy, but one still needs to eat at least something.  That was today for me.

We had a packet of Nori on the shelf that still has several months until expiration/best-by date.  There was some rice in the refrigerator and I had just steamed some broccoli.  I had also made some chipotle sauce which was really yummy, even though I dropped a second chipotle pepper into the bowl instead of just the one that was recommended.

Here is what I did:

Placed one sheet of nori on the counter.  (It was a square possibly 7-8 inches across)

Sprinkled on a little rice...maybe a tablespoon, but possibly a little more.

Spooned on 2-3 tablespoons of steamed broccoli.

Added a rounded teaspoon of chipotle sauce.

Folded it up more or less like a burrito. 

Ate it for lunch.

Really yummy. I will make another one.  Or two. 

Dear One was not interested. I have recently chosen never to be offended if he does not choose to eat the good food I make for him.   More for me!

Food Friday: Quick and Easy Snack - Seaweed and Rice!

When we first arrived in the mission, that very first day we went to Costco to get a blanket and sheets for our bed.  There I saw some seaweed snacks and thought instantly of the wonderful seaweed snacks that Sasha served. I loved those.  Well, we bought the giant package of seaweed snacks at Costco.  They were not the same.  Disappointing. 

Recently a dad came by the mission office with a huge open box of things for his son who is serving here. He had the same seaweed snacks. I asked if his son liked them. He said that he loved them!  He takes one sheet and picks up a little bit of steamed rice, pops it into his mouth and is in heaven.

So I tried it.  HE WAS RIGHT!!!  So good.  (You can see this is an office snack.  I did share some with others in the office.  NOT Dear One, who objects to this.  It amazes me the things he doesn't like, or doesn't want to try.  I only don't like watermelon, well, melons in general, I think.  If it is food, I can eat it.  Sadly.)
