Lenten Dishes

[Truck_1_0_1_]

I don't eat meat on EVERY Friday of the year (its an Italian, Catholic thing).

Therefore, I generally:

- go out for sushi (Used to do this EVERY Friday for 4 years, until I started lviing on my own. Honestly.)
- make a Chinese shrimp dish with rice (from scratch; not too hard and I learned from watching my father make it and Iron Chef)
- make hand rolls, aka Sushi Cones (shrimp, calamari, salmon/tuna sashimi for the protein)
- Shrimp Alfredo pasta (use any pasta for this, though Spaghetti is my fiancée's fav)
- go to the local boil restaurant (where I don't have any boils lol), for fish and chips, oysters, soft shell crab, etc.
- make Iron Chef Sakai's breaded, pan-fried sole, with a large shrimp in the centre, garnished with chives/green onion and okra.
- make Iron Chef Kenichi's Prawns in Chili Sauce, which I failed miserably on the first few times I've made it.

So yeah, keeping a rotation of this is more than worthwhile and not too expensive, plus you get to eat out once in a while.

For lunch, I literally get a tuna salad from Subway (with my choice of fixings), Sofritas burrito bowl from Chiptole (haven't gotten this in a few weeks )or a can of tuna.
