Have De Lata, Will Cook: Canned Food, Elevated (Featuring Sardines 2)

 

Scenario 1:

It’s Sunday night.

You’re living alone. Tomorrow is Monday…again. 

You just want to do a Garfield and crawl into your Monday bunker. 

You’re hungry, but don’t want to fuss because you’d rather spend your time watching, scrolling, or attending to your hobby. 

You check the fridge. 

There’s that leftover sardines from Saturday morning.

Scenario 2:

My scenario. 

It’s Sunday night. 

It’s almost 8 pm and I haven’t figured out what to cook for dinner. I’m busy working. But my tummy is grumbling and my family needs to eat. 

I check the fridge.

I see our leftover sardines from the other day. Some eggs. 

And some chicken and mushroom rice. 

😏

Sardine Meal 2: Sardine Omelette

Heat a pan. Add a little oil. 

Wait until it’s hot. 

Add the sardines in the middle, sauce and all. 

Spread it out. 

Crack some eggs in a bowl. I used 4.

Whisk.

Then pour around and over the sardines. Cover and let it cook until desired doneness. 

I didn’t season the eggs anymore because the sardines are flavorful enough. 

Serve with plain rice, fried rice, or in our case, leftover chicken and mushroom rice. 

Don’t you just love yesterday you that cooked a lot and had some leftovers for today’s you? 😁

’Til our next shared bite,

Stay cozy. Stay curious. Stay nourished.

LET'S EAT.

With grace, warmth, and a full heart,
