Cooking Chile Relleno and Casserole Stuffed with Seafoods


There are several recipes in the web on how to cook Chile Relleno and Casserole. I have my owned recipe of chile relleno and casserole using fresh Poblano peppers stuffed with either shrimps or Crab/lobster meat. It is essentially the same way as in the video below, but instead of just plain Monterey Jack cheese, I add either shrimps ( precooked) or crab or lobster (Shredded - imitation is OK) to the stuffing.

There are several sauces you can used. Since I am lazy, I just used Picante Sauce all ready to use. My daughter used Cholula Sauce. Cholula hot sauce is a brand of chili-based hot sauce, manufactured in Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico, and licensed by José Cuervo. According to its manufacturers, Cholula hot sauce rates 500-1,000 on the Scoville scale though other sources measure it as being over three times hotter, at 3,600 Scoville units.

There are several videos in the Web on how to cook Chile Rellenos and Casserole. The following video is easy to follow:

Food Delivery-Another On-Line Convenience of Life


Today, I ordered my first on-line order and delivery from TugBoat Fish and Chips about 3 miles from us. I was not confident on giving my credit card online, so normally I would order via telephone, have it delivered and just pay cash when the food arrives. However, today I had a longing for Fish and Chips ( London style).

I found that there are three Fish and Chips restaurants within 5 miles from our residence. The nearest one to our residence that we normally patronizes is rated 4.5 Star. However, another Fish and Chips about 1 mile farther is rated 5 star. I have never ordered food from this place, but since the rating is excellent, I decided I will try this restaurant. I called the restaurant and asked if they have delivery service. They said they are associated with Doordash.com. Since this is my first order, the delivery charge is free and tips to the driver is optional.

I went to the Doordash web site, ordered three items, paid it with my credit card. I placed my order at 1.30PM. The screen showed delivery will be at 2:20PM. At about 1:15PM my ordered arrived. The food was warm and excellent. I was delighted with my achievement of the day. The delivery fee was free but I gave a 10% tip to the driver.

I was curious if there are other food delivery service near me besides Doordash.com. In our area there are postmates.com, foodjets.com, grubhub.com and Eat24.com food delivery services. They cover more than 100 restaurants near us. Most of the restaurants have free delivery service for first time orders. Other wise the delivery service varies from $2 to $6.

Today, I also learned I could order Dimsum (chinese dumplings) from the Dumplings and Tea House of Sacramento on line with only a $2 delivery charge. I could have my favorite Dimsum anytime I want it just tapping the keys of my computer.

Note: I am currently enrolled on Recurring Food Service once a week from Munchery.com. I am happy with Munchery but the food is getting expensive.

Ordering Food on line and delivery is a must for those who does not like to cook or those who do not drive or can not drive because of commitments in the house, for example being a primary care giver for a love one just like me.

Another service I have not tried is grocery delivery. I will probably do this when my driver's license expired in two years.

Sinigang na Sugpo ( Prawns)

Today in spite of the hot weather outside I had a hankering for sinigang na sugpo. I have a bag of frozen prawns in the freezer, but no vegetables. So while Mele was watching Macrine, I went to the store for 30 minutes purchased all the vegetables except kangkong( I used spinach) and cooked sinigang using more or less the recipe below. I still have a half-pocket of sinigang mixed that I used. The soup was delicious as tasted by Mele. My hunger for sinigang has been satiated.
