Title: What are you Eating right now?
Post by: terranus on February 01, 2011, 06:11:04 AM
In the spirit of the "What are you listening to right now" and the "Need 50 posts? Post here!" threads, I present to you the "what are you eating right now?" thread.

So...how about it? What are you eating right now? I doubt there is a correlation in diets among atheists...and likewise among theists...but you never know! It will be interesting to find out.

Right now I'm eating a Rally's Baconzilla Burger with two beef patties, smoked bacon, american cheese & BBQ sauce - as well as seasoned fries and a sweet tea. Good ole' fashioned fast food. What better to eat at midnight?  :pop:

Right now, I'm eating my imagination. It is quite delicious, although it does leave my stomach with an empty feeling.

It's about 32C or 90 Fahrenheit, so pretty warm.
Home made ice blocks can be to hard to enjoy (I'm talking about a flavoured ice thing on a stick).
But if you get a packet of jelly (jello? anyway not jam), dissolve it with as little water as possible and then add fruit juice to make it up to one litre.  Freeze it in some suitable containers, giving them a stir or shake before completely frozen doesn't hurt.
You get cheap ice blocks you can bite.
Title: Re: What are you Eating right now?

ice blocks  :D we call them popsicles

Just a bit ago I had banana "ice cream".... you freeze a ripe banana then mush it up (or use hand blender if frozen solid) with a tablespoon of peanut butter (or some honey or something like that...plain would probably be ok too).  Takes care of a sweet tooth while still being a healthy choice.  Banana must be ripe or overripe otherwise it's not sweet enough to pretend to be ice cream.

You underestimate how good banana with peanut butter is....it could be a religion unto itself; ok, perhaps that is going a bit far.  But it is yummy.

Later two shots of home distilled Ouzo or the same of Turkish banana brandy or maybe Glayva.

What's wrong with the flavour of a fried snag, fresh bread and fried onions?

Why drown it in mayo, mustard and ketchup?

With that rubbish, you wouldn't know what you're eating.

Yeah, yeah, I know, you're a connoisseur of mayo mustard and ketchup. All you need is something to put them on.

Try a bit of inner tube next time. You won't know the difference and the rubber will be as soft as a poached egg after you put that crap on it.

Had some pancakes with Golden Syrup a couple of hours ago and a couple of VB stubbies since.

I might have bangers and mash and cabbage with diced onion, melted butter, perpper and salt with just a pinch of lemon pepper. That makes the old cabbage taste more than halfway decent.
I might have a touch of mustard with the bangers. Dunno yet.

Don't get upset...........you'll have to wait until tomorrow before I let you know and that's that!

Bangers and mash out of the question.

Made up one of my favourite dishes. Fluffy boiled rice [boiled in salted water] drained and washed. pinch of lemon pepper.
Drain can of mackerel or salmon and drink juice and do same with can baby peas or sliced beans. Put fish in bowl with rice and chop finely, then add peas or beans and mix in.

If you start with 1.5 cups long grain rice it will serve 4 easily.

Tasty and nourishing.

For breakfast this morning.........fried eggs in a wholemeal bread sandwich with a stubby of VB.

One of the best inventions ever is the non stick rice cooker.  I wash the rice before cooking only, and I will never boil rice in water again.  Oh and you should have put that canned fish residue in the "What Are You Drinking Right Now?

My wife has a non-stick rice cooker. It's great for making rice pudding, but useless for making fluffy rice where each rice grain is separate from its neighbour.

As for the canned fish juices, it is no different from fish soup. The fish is cooked in the can in brine. The soup is highly nutritious, containing much valuable fish oil. Do you dry your canned fish of every morsel of moisture before considering it fit for human consumption? The liquid drained from the peas or beans is equally nutritious. I hope in the interest of common sense your ignorance doesn't catch on. Though I'm certain that faddishness will always trump good sense in some communities.

The consumption of the liquids is not considered part of the meal, but simply a by-product of making the meal. It is consumed in the same manner as one runs a finger around the interior of the icing bown when making a cake. There would be no sense in making a separate drinking episode of it.

Chopped tomatoes, cucumber bits, celery bits, sweet pepper bits, sweet onion bits, garlic, wine vinegar, olive oil,  dash of oregano, cumin, cilantro, some chicken broth. Throw all that stuff together and it becomes Icarus style Gaspacho.  Salt, sugar, and tabasco sauce optional.  Served with a nice crusty bread it is tasty and also healthy.  It is to be served cold. The mix and melded tastes improve with an overnight stint in the refrigerator. It will keep for two to three days if kept refrigerated.  I made some of that this evening. Easy to make. Prep time: about 30 minutes. Cooking time: None.  Cost: very moderate but depends on vegetable prices.

Canned tomatoes work well enough, they are cheaper than fresh ones where I am which is right in the middle of a huge corporate tomato farming district.

I'm useless at blowing bubbles, but if I did, they would be blue. :grin:

Pink was the only colour available when I was a kid at school.

Tried it once, blew a huge balloon - which then burst. Since I was facing into a light breeze at the time I remember spending ages picking gum out of my hair, eyebrows, lashes, off my nose and chin . . .

Never bothered again. It was actually banned at school anyway

Ever tried them in a sandwich, mashed up with spices? I have used black pepper or even cayenne pepper (+) ginger, molases sugar . . .. Tried the mix in a panini once but I put too much in and it squidged out in the press and made a mucky, burned on mess! (Never leave a panini press unattended!)

A salad of olives stuffed with jalapeños, sweet red pepper, beetroot, cherry tomatoes, cellery, red kidney beans and spring onions (the larger things being chopped up so I can eat it single handed) dressed with mayonaise and a fairly warm tomato salsa and eaten with warmed, crusty multi-grain bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil.

As alternative you could buy carbonated water and mix it yourselves with real apple, orange, lime or lemon juice. Most "industrial" flavored water are not so natural, because they contains chemicals. And you save some money.

That's good. Too much sugar is bad. Be careful though because too low blood sugar will give you low mood. It's good to have some rice with it to help keep up your glycogen levels. And you can buy rice in bulk at 20 lbs a bag if you like.

I like it in soup and/or raw, as a dip sorta thing. In my country, we wrap it in eggs and fry it. Instead of it being a Chile Relleno, it's a Cauliflower Relleno. :yum:

All the different ones of the QuestBar I have tried have been really good.  The only mediocre one so far has been the chocolate peanut butter.  So far my favorite is the apple pie one - very tasty.  As far as protein bars go I've been pleasantly surprised with how good these taste.  I also like them because they have low net carbs which was the original reason I tried one.

Looks like Quest Bars have stevia. I'd rather stick with sugar. Part of why I chose NuGo is they have real ingredients, at least more than most others. NuGo does have a low glycemic line called Slim that I might try...

If "real" means "natural" for you, Joe, surely stevia is as natural product of  the plant Stevia rebaudiana as sucrose is of the sugar cane. Both have to be processed for purification in factory processes.

Or do you just need that quick calorie kick from sugar?

I use sucralose for sugar reduction purposes, that needs a bit more processing from sucrose but is still more natural than saccharin and without the butter after taste, the other sweetners are tastless to me. Have not found my ideal yet in terms if bars - sugar for a quick hit, complex starches for the next burn then a slow back-up of protein. But we have different brand bars from you guys.

Might have to go back to fruit and a bacon sarnie on wholemeal.

"Natural" is probably not the right word. After all, cocaine and arsenic are both natural, but I won't put those in my body either.

The sugar kick may be a part. I just prefer it. Maybe because more is known or it's been used longer. Kinda got that feeling they'll find something bad with stevia 20 down the line.

Bacon and fruit, however... Count me in!

I was unaware although sugar vs. stevia wasn't a concern for me.  I mainly wanted a bar that didn't have a high amount of net carbs and tasted good.  Good thing about bars like that is there are so many to choose from that you can usually find one that fits your needs.

I love, love, love cauliflower! I think I mentioned before that I crave it sometimes.  ~I know, weird. :shifty:

I like it in soup and/or raw, as a dip sorta thing. In my country, we wrap it in eggs and fry it. Instead of it being a Chile Relleno, it's a Cauliflower Relleno. :yum:

Edit: I wrote, "we fly it," I meant to say, "we fry it."
Sorry.  ;D

I also love cauliflower, and eat it quite often. One thing I like to do is make "Cauliflower Pearls". You put the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse them until they turn into little beads (Sometimes you have to stop and remove the florets and cut them because they'll just bounce around as little nubs.

Anyway the finish product should look like this:

(https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FH2vxmUW.jpg&hash=4e1749ac9cb824889abb18d5eb638bfe9a4fa993)

You can then quickly sauté them in a little oil with other veggies, or on their own. I've used it them as a rice substitute by making a large pan of them and then serving fish, other veggies, etc...on top.

Tonight as I often do I sautéd some veggies in my cast iron pan. This time I had beets, carrots, onion, brusell sprouts, and the cauliflower pearls, after cooking a short time in the pan in olive oil, seasoning with salt, pepper and some hot sauce I bake in the oven for about 30 minutes at 400. (I stir them around after about 15-20 minutes)
We enjoy them still a bit firm, but you can leave them in longer if you like your veggies soft. Sometimes I add fresh herbs if I have, maybe some rosemary or thyme, or whatever.

That is disgustingly healthy looking dish Bruno. I want some of that.

I was day dreaming about the mathematical fate of cows this afternoon. I swear I had not been drinking strong spirits. ( not then but perhaps now) The numbers involved an estimate of half the American population that might consume a quarter pound of beef per day. That is only one Big Mac don't you know.

If I use a quarter pound of meat for perhaps 150 million people, then that comes to 1.5 times ten to the 8th. Divide by four (a quarter pound of meat) which gives us 37,500,000 pounds Lets us assume that a beef cow Will yield 500 pounds of consumable meat per head. divide 3.75 times ten to the seventh by 5.0 times ten to the second and we get about 75 thousand cows per day and a yearly consumption of 365 times 75K which is a big number.  Awww alright I was just messing around with numbers but holy shit that is a lot of cows....about 27 million of them....and a lot of methane from cow poop.

Math hounds feel free to correct my outlandish calculations. No matter the actual number, that is a lot of pasture grazing, corn consumption and tending by cattle ranchers.

Post by: Dave on March 14, 2017, 07:42:06 AM
And, Icarus, since lots of cows are kept inside or in near "battery" conditions there is probably a big carbon footprint in the energy needed in feeding and cleaning up after them. Then there is all that transport and processing/cooking . . .

Other beef products are available (even more cows). And how many chickens are slaughtered every day?

I'm all for when GM science invents the salmon flavoured peach, the beef flavoured carrot, the chicken flavoured potato . . . With all the proper proteins, minerals and vitamins of course.

OK, a lesson in English fried potatoes:

Slices less than 3mm (1/8th of an inch yo you lot) deep fried potsties are "chips".

Slices half as thick again to twice as thick, shallow fried so they are golden on the outside but have a soft centre are "fritters".

Cut into sticks from 6mm (1/4 inch) to 12mm (1/2 inch) a side and deep or shallow fried are "chips".

Cut as above, parboiled, left to cool, half cooked quickly in goose fat, left in the fridge overnight then finished in goose fat are heavenly.

After stage three, the half cooking, they can be frozen and revived by defrosting and finishing or o en baking - a sort of substitude for the real thing.

Cut into sticks less than 6mm and deep fried until they contain more fat or oil than potato are American "French" fries (which are an insult to France, a country that needs all the insults we can give it) and an abortion in the eyes of all true fried potato lovers!

I can't stand katsup...you know why? When I was a wee lad me mum and da would make me eat kiszka (Fucking Polish Blood Sausage) which is a horrible, nasty, disgusting food.

My parents were both strict, and we had to eat everything on our plate, and you didn't get up from the table until it was clean. I spent many a night staring down at a plate of kiszka or fried bologna or some other such horror until hours later my folks would send me off to bed early for not eating everything I was served, especially when there were starving kids in China who would kill to get their hands on some kiszka (I got spanked once for making the suggestion that the kids in China would most likely prefer to starve to death than eat Polish Blood Sausage)

Anyway the only way I could choke this or other food down that I found bloody disgusting was to drown it in katsup, which is why to the this day I can't stomach the taste of it(Even your picture with the chips and katsup is making me a bit queazy)

The other trick I had was to carefully spit the food out into my hand, then work it into the front pocket of my dungarees, and when the pocket was full exscuse myself from the table, go to the bathroom and flush it down the toilet.

My cousin used to stuff the food down the leg of their dining room table. It was an old table, and the decorative leg of the table was a hollow post, and my cousin found the hole at the top were it sat under the table top, so he would slip food down the hole.
He got busted when my Aunt and Uncle investigated the horrible smell that was eminating out of their dining room.

My Uncle was a mean fucking bastard and he really gave it to him, I still remember my cousin showing my the bruises on his ass.

Anyway, fuck katsup.

I've never tried Marmite, and the fact that it's referred to as the left-over sludge from making beer most likely means I never will. I once saw a jar of vegemite, but fortunately it hadn't been open yet, and so I never had to try it. :badger:

There was some pepperoni, a little.

Paint one side of a slice of bread with olive oil then toast it.
Gently scrape a clove of garlic over the now crispy oiled-toasted side.
Grate a cover of (cheddar) cheese over that, then a thin layer of tomato salsa, then more cheese.
Cover with slices of pepperoni then grill the top until sausage just crisping and cheese bubbling.
Cool for a few minutes on a grid then devour.

Not exactly a pizza but . . . Tasty!

Back to my diet tomorrow.

Finished off my granddaughter's rainbow ice cream cone - disgusting bright colours and sickly sweet. So glad she had the sense to reject it. I then saw that she'd drunk the remaining half of my cappuccino coffee after which she asked for more. She's not yet 3.

Cherry tomato sandwhich (no butter, low fat salad dressing) and a zero fat black cherry yoghurt.

(Scoffed half a rottiseried chicken with sage & onion seasoned fries, coleslaw and sweet-corn for lunch - ballancing.)

I'm enjoying a tall expresso along with a "Kenyan" pour over at one of my favorite coffee shops. I love coffee,...these are fucking perfect.


Edited to add that just after I typed this the barista brought me over a small cup of genuine pink bourbon Ethiopian on the house.

It's been a good Friday so far...

Rice is boring, borng, boring! Pasta is nearly as boring.

It's only the sauce and other additives that give them interest.

I do actually like lots of rice dishes, the local Chinese does a house special fried that is a meal in itself! Peas, mushroom, bean sprouts, egg, prawns, chicken, pork and a spicy sauce. Bit like a Chinese paella.

I cannot stand rice pudding though, too bland.

My GF and I also make a rice thing where we put in rice, cream of something soup (mushroom, chicken, something with cheese in it), some veggies, and then chicken on top (with some more seasonings on it) and bake it. We like that rice dish.

But I also some times just eat plain rice next to chicken because I like rice by itself.

My Dad married a white lady so I know only how to make white people food with no flavor. Not that white people food has no flavor. Just that she liked to make everything lack taste.

Anyways, I usually make rice, then cook meat and vegetables separate and roll them into tortilla grande.

Maybe it's similar to piloncillo. This is how it's described:
QuotePiloncillo is as minimally-processed as you can get your sugar, short of chewing it out of sugar cane yourself. It's the product of cane juice boiled down to a thick, crystalline syrup, usually poured into cone-shaped molds to harden (the name piloncillo derives from "pylon"). What you get is a sugar rife with impurities that puts plain old brown sugar to shame. Modern brown sugar is just purified white sugar with some molasses mixed in. This is the real deal.

I'll share with you how I make my rice (Salvadoreño style  ;)):

1. Fry chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, chopped tomato.
2. Fry the rice with all that.
3. Add one cube of chicken Knorr Bouillon, Tomato, with Chicken Flavor.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

4. Add 11/2 to 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then, cover reduce heat to low.
5. After a few minutes, stir everything one more time. Cover it again. Turn the heat off, let it continue cooking with the small of water left in it. (Do not uncover it until all the water is gone.)

~That's all.

^ When I fry my rice it is usually stuff that is either already cooked, by boiling or steaming, or "microwave" rice - in a sealed bag you zap for 4 mins in the microwave.

Then I let it lose most of its steam before putting it in the pan to fry with the goodies and then stir in the sauce and heat gently until mostly absorbed. The goodies will have had spices and herbs added during their frying time. The rice then absorbs some of these along with the tomato/garlic and-whatever-else-I-can-find-to-mix-in sauce.

So do you put raw rice in the pan then fry that with the other stuff, then cook it all in the added water?

Convenient and delicious Uncle Ben's Ready Rice cooks rice in 90 seconds in the microwave.

Ready in 90 seconds with flavor and everything. A friend of mine used to make it, I'm not too crazy about it. The only thing I trust, that cooks in 90 seconds or less, and in a microwave, is water.  :shifty:
~I like food that takes a little bit longer than 90 seconds to cook.  :yum:

So do you put raw rice in the pan then fry that with the other stuff, then cook it all in the added water?
Yes.

I'll share with you how I make my rice (Salvadoreño style  ;)):

1. Fry chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, chopped tomato.
2. Fry the rice with all that.
3. Add one cube of chicken Knorr Bouillon, Tomato, with Chicken Flavor.
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

4. Add 11/2 to 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then, cover reduce heat to low.
5. After a few minutes, stir everything one more time. Cover it again. Turn the heat off, let it continue cooking with the small of water left in it. (Do not uncover it until all the water is gone.)

~That's all.
:let'seat:

YUMMMMMM. Simple, yet undoubtedly delicious!  :yum:

Yeah, really like those "piquant" peppers. Only bought them this a.m. and halfway through them already! Jar keeps leaping out of the fridge every time I go into the kitchen!  The olives are stuffed with jalepiños. The rest of them will not survive another 24 hours . . .

Their balance with the bland crackers and the cheese works well for me.

A slow stir fry of bell pepper, sweet red chili pepper, button chestnut mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, shallots, (lots of) garlic, finely cut centre stalks of celery bunch - with the leaves, a dash of soy sauce, some virgin olive oil to dress and egg noodles.

No meat, this is one of my veggie days.

Actually most of the above is a clearing of the last few of this and that from fridge and cupboard - shopping day tomortow!

Savoury pancake, with spices and herbs in it, bottom cooked then topped with pepperoni, mushrooms and prawns then the top grilled.

An experimint that needs more practice. Might try cheese as well next time, sort of panza, or maybe pizcake. No, forget the latter . . .

Just finished a (large) bowl of veg steup, not quite a stew but more than a soup. "Last veggies clearout" job, half a red pepper, last onion, last (slightly rubbery) carrot,  last potato (all chopped up small), some frozen peas and chicken stock in the pressure cooker.

Damn! Forgot the somewhat wrinkled mushrooms and garlic. So chopped and cooked those separate, in butter, in a frying pan. Chucked them in when the rest were cooked and left for a few minutes, on the heat, before serving.

Yum! Don't think I will be eating owt else this eve!

Cheese & tomato flat bread with a salsa made from caramelised tomato and shallot, chopped olives, jalepenos, garlic and black pepper with a glass of Shiraz.

Well, that was the plan. The trip that dumped it all over the floor was not in the plan.

So, cheese and tomato sandwhich and a cup of tea.

I'm having pickled asparagus, pickled beets along with pico de gallo on spinach wraps with a bit of vegenaise mayo spread on the wraps; and for those of you wrinkling your nose at the thought of pickled asparagus you simply have to try them.

I think the pickling kills that "after-effect" so common with the asparagus, or maybe I've adjusted. Yeah if you like pickled stuff you'll like these...I gave a jar recently to my brother-in-law for his birthday (Along with a really good bottle of whiskey) and he loved them. In fact I was there at the party and he sent me a text thanking me for the pickled asparagus, and didn't say a thing about the whiskey. ;D

I am experimenting, occasionally, with pickled cheddar. Last lot was in vinegar from pickled beetroot with a little cayenne added - interesting. Yellow/redish and spicey sweet yet still very cheesey. Might try a small lot in balsalmic vinegar next.

Hmmm, asparagus pickled in whiskey?

"Asparagus" was coined from the original common name "sparrow grass"  it seems. The posh people took it over ftom the peasants and had to call it something exotic sounding.

Just not uncommon problems of advanced maturity! Look at it %wise and I am not doing that badly, just bave to accept some things are not "curable". But I csn still bend fown to tie my shoes or pick things up, get up from a short squat without needing a push up on a chair etc. Have to accept stamina is a thing of the past though...

But I csn still bend fown to tie my shoes or pick things up, get up from a short squat without needing a push up on a chair etc. Have to accept stamina is a thing of the past though...

Could be worse.
As Woody Allan noted.

Yeah, remember going the whole Austrian thing in a restaurant in Surrey years ago,  Wiener Apfelstrudel after Wiener schnitzel. Ah, delicate pastries and delicate flavours.

Mainly Asian restaurants in this area, I like Asian cuisine of all kinds but wish there was more variety. There are now two Greek restaurants but most of the many new eateries in the docks area are TexMex, burger, fried chicken and pizza type joints with a few standard English pub food places.

I've been eating more veggie lately, and adapted my stuffed bell peppers from this recipe:  taco stuffed peppers (https://www.buzzfeed.com/jordankenna/taco-stuffed-peppers?bffbtasty=undefined&ref=bffbtasty&utm_term=.jjLYZONpj#.nyw84Q6Wm)

I didn't have any quinoa, or black beans ( :'(), so I substituted rice and doubled up on the corn.  Also cut the chili powder down by a third and replaced the cumin with basil.  Tasted pretty good, tho I think cheese mixed in with the stuffing, rather than just sprinkled on top, was a mistake.

Low country boil, sometimes called Frogmore stew.   

Boil whole potatoes, half ears of corn, onions, kielbasa sausage, shrimp, oyster -clam- mussel (as available), seasonings such as garlic, basil, oregano, thyme according to your taste, add a little bit of butter or olive oil.  Boil the vegetables for ten minutes or so, add sausage, then add shrimp and boil until shrimp turns slightly pink.  It is also traditional to toss in crab, or chunks of fish to the mix when available.

This is all cooked in the same pot. drained, and thrown on the table top which will be covered with newspaper or brown paper ---- for easier cleanup. It is usually served without utensils , it is finger food.  Everyone just grabs what they want and eats with gusto. It can, and often is, accompanied by the beer of choice. This is a great party concoction that is easy to prepare. It is moderately nutritious and thoroughly delicious. 

Subject "low country" is along the coast of South Carolina and Georgia. Frogmore is an old South Carolina town that claims to have originated this kind of repast. A variety of sea foods are readily available in that part of the world and so the cooking has revolved around what was  affordable and easy to find.

I'm technically good to go now but if I overdo it at this point I'll definitely puke. I'm also on a shitload of Oxy so I should really stick with fiber and fluids in my experience.

Otherwise everything is pretty well. All surgical goals achieved.

Thanks.

I actually feel pretty damn good. Sore, but the whole reason I had surgery in the first place was to remove a cyst causing severe pain. And I'll take sore over "holy shit someone is trying to rip my spine out through my hip" any day.

Good to hear you're feeling pretty damn good.  :tellmemore:
So...what are you eating right now?

BF, who has been taking amazing care of me, made me scrambled egg on rye toast with butter for lunch. His mom brought lentil soup yesterday when she stopped in to let the dogs out for us, so that will be dinner.

That was nice of BF's mom to make you soup and bring it over as well as take care of your dogs for you, but BF could only scramble you one egg?

He couldn't throw 3-4 in the pan just in case you wanted more? If left-over you put it in the fridge and reheat later...they're good cold and wrapped in a tortilla with a little tuna or avacado.

I don't know about this guy PC... 8)

I bought some sushi for my son and I to have for lunch and brought it home...he laughed so hard when I told him he was too primordial in his eating habits. I use chopsticks, dipping bowl for my Tamari sauce and wasabi; while he on the other hand stabs his sushi with a fork, dips it in a jar of srirachi aioli and then devours ;D

I'm relieved, Father Bruno. For a moment there I thought you ate things that weren't considered 'food'. :P

Well don't be too relieved xSP...I eat mainly a whole food plant based everything diet, so basically I'm a vegetarian...though I do eat fish on a somewhat regular basis, and will eat meat on special occasions (I'm not like some type of vegan-nazi or anything).

I actually do enjoy tofu (I don't do tofu-turkey) , and quinoa, both are somewhat regular parts of my diet, and I adore bleu cheese, but since I also don't do dairy I don't eat it very often...sometimes though I'll buy a small container and sprinkle some on my salad. The nice thing about bleu cheese is it doesn't go bad, it just gets bluer. 8)

Recently when I was on vacation in Honduras, one of the wife's family who has visited and stayed with us here in the States and who knows how I eat said he was impressed by my dedication to eating healthy especially when traveling, but I had to tell him I'm not dedicated to this way of eating. This is just how I live my life. It's the natural choice for me, and isn't some kind of chore. It isn't hard. I don't feel like I'm missing out. I don't feel deprived. It's something that I enjoy all the way in my core. It makes me happy....even if people sometimes treat me like some type of celibate eunuch 8)

Tonight I had some grilled veggies, asparagus spears, spinach, squash and zuccini noodles, tomatoes, onions, beets, and a small piece of salmon, plus a bowl of grapes. 8)

Food.

Yeah...I don't know why people proselytise their life choices. Live and let others live as they see fit, as long as they're not harming anyone.  :hammock:

Drunks are almost always annoying when you're sober. :P But it's interesting to see what a depressive drug as alcohol is (as in it lessens certain brain functions, not as it it causes depression), does to a person...

 I made a batch of Sopa de Garbazo this afternoon. Because I am a klutz in some areas, I managed to burn the onions and bell peppers while attempting to sautee them.  Wife to the rescue. I diced some more onion, peppers, celery and she guided me through the process.  I managed the potatoes alright and the garbanzos too. A nice chicken broth, bay leaf, paprika, and other spices brought the whole mess to an entirely satisfactory and tasty end.

That sounds so good!

I was given a trick for preparing corn on the cob with corn that's slightly past its sell-by date: to the water you're going to boil it in you add 2 cups of milk and a stick of butter (I know, I know), when the butter is melted you boil the corn for 20 mins.  Fingers crossed this works -- I'm trying hard not to waste food so much.

Drunks can some times be annoying when you are sober... 8)
Wow! 3.5 years!?
Congratulations, Father Bruno, I'm very proud of you!

You've been with us about three years, haven't you?  :chin:

Thank you for the kind compliment my dearest Magdalena, it is appreciated.

Yes, I guess it's been about three years more or less. I believe I was about 6-8 months sober when I joined HAF...and it's a testament to my ability to stay sober that I've been able to do so what with hanging out with you "godless, heathen like sods" ;D

Translation please?

I made myself some salmon and glazed carrots, adding a little soy sauce as well as brown sugar to make the glaze.  Not bad.  I also decided to stop using my wine glasses for the one or two times a year I have people over for dinner, and put them to everyday use.  Since I'm not Emily Post, I figure there's no reason I can't drink water from a wine glass.

Mackerel in chilli sauce with sticks of celery, cucumber and red bell pepper, spring onions, cherry toms and sweet red chillis plus a dip made from the little bit of mayonaise I had left with vinegar, olive oil and garlic pureė added - then all whipped up 'til creamy.

Oh, forgot, there are three things I am not supposed to eat there: celery contains the antidote to warfarin and the fish and onions contain gout promoting compounds. Come to think of it so did lunch's beans!

But, WTF, gotta eat!

Another experiment to use up odds and ends of food:

Diced chicken, browned, then cooked with chopped up cherry tomatoes, sweet chillis, olives, spring onions, red bell pepper and red kidney beans. Half of this stuff, excepting the chicken and beans, was liquidized with olive oil, garlic puree and a little cayenne as a sauce that was added in the last minute or so of cooking.

I will be doing this, or variations, again, maybe  with fish, sausage or whatever.

You are right. Maultaschen are similar like ravioli, but larger in size. It is a traditional German dish that originated in the region of Swabia (in Baden-Württemberg). It consists of an outer-layer of pasta dough which encloses a filling traditionally consisting of minced meat, smoked meat, spinach, bread crumbs and onions and flavoured with various herbs and spices (e.g. pepper, parsley and nutmeg).  The Kloster Maultaschen contains dark monastery beer, which makes them taste better than the original maultaschen.

Tilapia is the polite name for an imported fish formerly called Nile Perch. Nile: It is obvious that they originated in Africa. They are prolific and have a rapid growth rate. They were first imported into Florida to help control the vegetation growth in our gazillions of Florida lakes. Excessive vegetation growth was/is a problem for our lakes.  Those fish are vegetarians and dine exclusively on plant life.  Fisherman were frustrated because Tilapia would not take lures or other baits that were preferred by the native carnivorous fishes. We finally figured out that the bait of choice was English peas.

Tilapia are almost exclusively netted, not hooked, when in the natural environments. They are now being harvested in such quantity that the waterborne vegetation is only slightly improved.  The Talapia flesh is edible and relatively cheap but not of the taste and quality of our vanishing supply of Grouper, Snapper, Bass, and similar game fish. 

We do have millions of alligators and the meat from their tail sections is entirely edible and not bad tasting if you are not aware of where the meat originated. I suspect that the Malthusian concept is fast approaching reality.

There is a tiny community between Tampa and Saint Petersburg whose post office name is Rattlesnake. You guessed it.  There was/is a cannery there that processes rattlesnake flesh for human consumption. We used to have plenty of rattlesnakes too. Much of Florida has been paved over so the rattle snakes have lost a lot oftheir native habitat and are thus less abundant.

Our rednecks population has diminished percentige wise because the population of Florida is predominantly composed of people from elsewhere. Nonetheless the remaining rednecks do eat Possum and Armadillo.

Sweet chilli crackers, Cheddar cheese, tomatoes, spring onions and vino. Only I am not "eating" the vino exactly.

Got to eat more, my weight dropped over 2 kilos, from 64 to 62, in two months. I am not on a diet or doing extra exercise. Doc says to keep monitoring it. Might buy an 8 inch jalapeño/spicy chicken/pepperoni pizza tomorrow and scoff the whole thing!

What's the difference between this thread and the one in the "Laid Back Lounge" (http://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=6785.420), is it because the other one is what are you eating "Right Now" and this one is just what are you eating when you do eat or have eaten at one time in your life? Or, is there some other subtle difference that I am missing?

The second half of a crispy base 10 inch pepperoni/spiced beef/jalepeño "Diavolo" pizza. Just eaten the first.

Rate it medium warm, can't get decent pepperoni anywhere round here.

Well, my weight has gone down to 62kg-ish, can afford some extra calories but will have to go very veggie later to balance! Weigh being carefully monitored, might just be that I have got used to eating less but my doctor wants a "running commentary" so Excell is in employment.

Ah, colour is so important in food. I know smell is the most important "eating sense" but food should stimulate all possible senses (though hearing is a difficult one, we usually have to settle for music or, my favourite, the hubbub of a popular eatery  :) !)  The above has the odour of the smoked ham, sweetness, heat plus soft and crisp textures

I agree that colour is important! Can you imagine what it would be like if you suddenly only saw black, white and shades of gray? I'd imagine it would be difficult to eat a slice of a gray tomato (I love tomato) as it would look like something going stale. Or gray ham.  :bleh:

One of my favourite salad things was doing chemistry on "red" cabbage. It is like litmus paper, treating it with acids and alkalis (lemon or lime juice, baking soda etc), some times on their own or acid-to-alkali and reverse, can give you blue, orange, a real red etc. Effects very per the actual cabbage. If you wash it after, the taste does not linger.

A bowl of multi-coloured cabbage gets people's interest!

There was once food scientist (read this in the Readers' Digest) who experimented with odd food colouring, IIRC blue was the least favourite, most of the others occur in nature. But, yeah, shades of grey are boring (so are the books!)

Sounds delicious Dave.


I blended a drink yesterday that came out surprisingly well. Usually I have a lot if sugar in my drinks or sugar substitute. This drink was comprised of tap water, spinich, nuts, seeds, cucumber, and squeezed lemon (because I can't blend a lemon and still have it taste good).

And at first taste I was amazed. It wasn't as sugary as my other drinks but all those things put together really added a nice crisp cool flavor. It was almost like drinking bottled water but a little more flavorful.

The only con is that it looks terrible, especially when it settles.

Nothing to do with food:

I was on a paleontological dig in a cave in North Wales many years ago. The cave fill was from the debris scraped along the sides of the Ice Age glacier that formed the valley, so a very old cave. The debris had possibly been scraped up miles upstream, an indicator of the size and speed of the glacier.

Aling with the fine, well mixed and pretty useless sludge (and the animal bones and teeth) were rocks and pebbles of identifiable geology, thus traceable to their origin if they are unlike the local rock type.

Such rocks are normally called "erratics". The prof in charge preffered to call them "exotics".  We diggers decided they were "errotics".

What I am going to eat in about an hour . . .

Was considering going to a local pub, the Hay Wain (or Hey Wayne if you like) for lunch, but I had had smoked ham on triple olive bread booked fir thst slot. However, I have been "pre-tasting" (like after taste but different) that ham and bread half the morning. Yum.

The sarnie has won.

I have to go to town for a blood test tomorrow morning so I will indulge in a Cajun chicken wrap at the Café René instead. (Unless the "Wrap of the week" is something unusual . . .)

Tried Quorn mince for the first time, not a bad texture.

Made a sauce with chicken stock, onion, olives and chopped fresh tomatoes, plus sone cayenne. New jar of cayenne, had to remove the foil under the cap . . . But did not put the cap back on properly - it fell off into the pan, along with a load of cayenne! Scooped most out but still a lot in the mix.

Remembered something about sugar reducing heat, but I don't use sugar. Then I remembered the 'lump' of molasses sugar in the top of the cupboard so put a dessert spoon of that in.

Well, it was still hot but had a nice depth of taste. And not at all sweet.

We have something called a "saveloy", a spiced sausage, over here, much like the colour and taste of the hotdog I once had. Also probably a mix of MRM of several origins plus whatever was left over from the proper fast food! They are boiled or steamed and can be up to 10" long.

I had my first ever hotdog at the 1951 Festival of Britain (can remember 7yo self asking if it was really made of dog). Huh, promoting British arts, science and technology and flogging Americanish fast food!  :geezer!: Shudda been a saveloy in a bun!

Hotdog. I don't know what goes into that "meat" but I don't care.

We have something called a "saveloy", a spiced sausage, over here, much like the colour and taste of the hotdog I once had. Also probably a mix of MRM of several origins plus whatever was left over from the proper fast food! They are boiled or steamed and can be up to 10" long.

Your mention of saveloys brought back some memories. I walked around the block from my flat in Battersea on many evenings to get a saveloy and chips from a small fast food place, after a long day at Chelsea College. I did not bother to do much cooking then.

The queen bee is out tonight with her lady friends. I had to make my own dinner.  Pretty good it was. Penne pasta with a nice shrimp sauce, laced with Tabasco.  I confess that the shrimp sauce was a frozen product labeled Margueretaville Lime Shrimp.  Really good stuff, easy to prepare, and moderately priced.

Mince. For Americans, I think it could be described as "ground beef and gravy." I've been working on the basic recipe I learned by including a healthy dose of red wine and a sprinkle of "Italian" herbs as well as several splashes of Worcestershire sauce. I think it's coming along rather nicely. Nothing spectacular, but a pleasing deep flavor and fairly healthy if you choose low fat mince and use salt substitute.

Mince meat? I've only heard that used in old cartoons. Mince is actually a kind of cut that chefs use. It's a really small cut. So for meat it would probably be ground beef.

A whole 10" spicy chicken and pepperoni pizza - with half a bottle of vino.

Not the healthiest of suppers but . . . I lost my appetite a bit some days ago due to that bug and, despite trying to build it up have lost about 150mg per day since then. OK, I would be happy to lose another 1.5kg, then level out. But need to know that I am in control.

Something similar happened three years ago when I lost 10kg over two years, fast to start, slowing, then bounced up 2kg and lost under control from then to 63kg. Need the same trick again but stopping at 60kg min. That will still put me a bit over average for my age and height.

Enjoyed the pizza though! Tongue still tinglingl

Trouble with peanuts, by the time they get here, they are dried up shsdows of their real selves. Like so much food they spend far too long ''twixt growing and gob.

But, as I found out years ago, if you soak raw, unsalted nuts overnight in the 'fridge they are still crisp, but in a "carrotty" way rather than just hard and crunchy, and actualy taste like peas! Like, I am guessing, fresh peanuts do. I tried this after watching a West Indian friend soak illegally inported caschew nuts and then eating some.
Title: Re: What are you Eating right now?
Post by: jumbojak on July 04, 2018, 12:46:14 PM
Fresh peanuts aren't like peas Dave. They aren't quite as hard as when roasted but much more like like a carrot, as you say. We grow quite a few peanuts in Virginia but they are a different variety than what's typically found in stores.

It's what farmers here like to call a gourmet peanut, and is much larger and richer than the Spanish runner peanuts everyone is used to. I can usually get them unroasted, but prefer them roasted and salted in the shell.

Freshly dug peanuts also have a wonderful smell. Driving past a field in late August when the diggers are our is always nice. The only other "field" smell that compares is corn on a hot summer night but corn has a much sweeter smell.

To my taste those soaked peanuts tasted like raw peas. This may be a function of travelling and storage altering their chemistry and hydration shifting it again, but they were definitely improved in texture and flavour over the "straight out of the packet" ones.

Ah, a little research indicates that peanuts are in the same family as peas:

QuoteAs a legume, the peanut belongs to the botanical family Fabaceae; this is also known as Leguminosae, and commonly known as the bean, or pea, family.

Title: Re: What are you Eating right now?
Post by: jumbojak on July 04, 2018, 01:24:56 PM
They are in the same family but I was referring to texture more so than taste. A peanut doesn't really have a tender stage like a pea or at least it'd be impractical to harvest them then. Growing underground dictates their harvest.

Fish fingers and baked beans with fried tomatoes mixed in - missed a shopping trip waiting in for a deliverer. It was home made chicken, mushroom and sweetcorn soup for lunch.

Just been checking on food group intakes, lots of pie charts. Then had a thought - why not a pizza with one section of protein (meat, fish), another section veggie (sweetcorn, chillies, mushroom, tomatoes etc) and the final section fruit (pineapple, banana slices . . .). The base is, of course your carbs and the cheese your dairy. Add herbs and/or spices to taste.

Get the right proportions right and you have your balanced daily intake pie chart on a plate! Two of those a day (small for lunch, large for dinner,) with variations, and you have a healthy diet!

Apart from being a spread not a lot like peanut butter! It is made from the residue yeast from the brewing industry and is, effectivrly, unique to each country in which it is made.  In the UK  it is made from the yeast from bitter ale and lager and they once made a special edition using Guiness yeast. There is even a Marmite chovolate bar I think.

"Marmite - love it or hate it!" is a marketting slogan, because that's how people feel about it. I kove it. It is a smooth, very dark brown paste with a salty/yeasty flavour. There is actually not a lot of salt but yeast tastes salty as well. It is applied very, very thinly to buttered bread, toasted if you want, like 4 grams per slice is the recognised serving on the label.

It is stuffed with B complex vitamins and on the two occasions I lost my appetite due to illness it was one of the few things I really wanted. I craved small quantity high flavour foods, a Marmite sarnie fitted the bill!

Aussies, I seem to remember, got more for "Veggimite", similar in taste but made from concentrated vegetables I think, I am sure Bluenose or Bad Penny will put me right.

Yup, those above, but pre-mixed "cake" spice works as well, especially with the sugar added. Not too much of the ginger or cinnamon, covers the bananana flavour - just a sprinkle.  There is enough "contrast" with the black pepper that they don't compete too much.

Wouldn't bother with curry spice mix . . .

I think mashing with Emma and Melanie could be bad for my health - but what a way to go!

I just finished"building" Sopa de Garbanzo (spanish bean soup)    It is good even if I did make it myself.  Diced potatoes, Chorizo sausage ( the Spanish kind) celery, garlic, onion, cilantro, bay leaf, chicken broth, and of course garbanzo beans (chick peas).   You can toss in some finely chopped ham if you like.....I did this time but not every time.  Simmer for a while but not so long as to overcook the potato bits.    Serve with  some good bread like a baguette or perhaps authentic Cuban bread.   ....... Add some Cuban coffee to make the occasion special........Follow, or include a glass, ....maybe more than one glass, of a nice red wine.,

Cheapest meal ever: Mr M bought a pack of four largish courgettes for 7 pence yesterday evening so I made a courgette and potato soup. V delicious but I was pushed for time so I just used a recipe found online which required the addition of a vegetable stock cube, (at least it was organic).  I'm into soup-making at the moment but prefer not to use any processed ingredients at all. I hope to evolve into the type of cook who just throws a few things that are to hand and produces a culinary masterpiece.

Well alright you two. No raisins.  But you should have some  reverence for those poor dehydrated  grapes.  Remember that grapes are a biblical fruit and if you dis them, Jesus might smite you.

Raisins are a necessary ingredient for oatmeal cookies.  Who doesn't like oatmeal cookies? Pimekin (sp) anyone?

For the last month I've cut back dramatically on carbohydrates (no sugar, potatoes, rice, and other high carb vegetables), but I DO eat cheese, lots of avocados, vegetables, plain yoghurt, tomatoes, olives, and moderate amounts of meat, chicken and fish.  In other words, I don't worry about my kilojoule intake, so never feel hungry or deprived in any way. I take a tablespoon of coconut oil every day, occasionally even in my coffee instead of creamer. I use coconut oil to fry onions and to sauté meat instead of oil.

The results have been good: so far I've lost a few kilos and feel really well, with fewer joint aches and pains. My doctor supports this 100%. She has always told me that there has been too much concern about fats in the diet, while the killer is really sugar and other carbs.

Yes, that's true. My intention really is to take in MCT (medium chain triglycerides), which is high in coconut oil, but I still had some coconut oil. I will replace it with pure MCT next time I shop.

Hermes, where is the most practical source for the Omega 3s?  I have read that fish do not make that stuff but that it comes from vegetation that the fish eat, including certain algae.   The fish apparently absorb some of it but the Omegas are then second hand.   Any truth to that?

I am not an expert, but have always followed the popular opinion that fish and cod liver oil are good sources. I believe that caviar, which is probably consumed by the kilo by people on your side of the tracks, is also good.

I made a nice batch of Gaspacho this evening.  To do it right it must be left in the fridge for a day or so. Time blends the ingredients in a most satisfying way.................that is if you are into that kind of food.  Tomato, cucumber, onion, celery, garlic, olive oil, chicken broth, oregano, paprika, a pinch of cumin, a pinch of salt, a tiny bit of rosemary,  a bit of wine vinegar, and some bread crumbs or croutons.  Served cold with some good bread like a French baguette or Chicago hard roll, it is yummy.............and healthy too.

The garlic, onion, or scallion leaves you unkissable for a day or two but it is worth the sacrifice.

Kerrygold Blarney Castle Cheese.  From the website: Blarney Castle is a 100% natural grass-fed cheese whose recipe treads 600 years back to Ireland. Not containing an iota of artificial flavours or additives, this cheese is made from pasteurised cow's milk in Blarney, near Cork by the Irish Kerrygold brand.  The golden yellow Irish cheese is mild and creamy with hints of rich and velvety notes. It tastes very similar to a young Dutch Gouda cheese, making it perfect to pair with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling or Gewürztraminer and fresh fruit. The cheese can be used for cooking and complements any sandwich.

This has become my favorite cheese.  It's smoother than Gouda, IMHO, and goes well with Cabernet Sauvignon.

I had "Schweinebraten mit Knödel" which is roast pork with dumplings. The meat took about 1 hour to prepare in the oven, but it was marvellous.

Definitely try Gouda.  When we traveled to Amsterdam a couple of years ago I loved going into the cheese shops, getting one of a bunch of different flavors of Gouda, a small bottle of red wine, and a small loaf of bread, and just sitting down and consuming it.  Just go with the plain Gouda, but there are also all kinds of herb Goudas, smoked Goudas, etc.

cornbread this morning.

don't have any coarse-ground cornmeal. for some reason cornbread isn't popular in appalachia, so the largest containers you can buy are one pound canisters. i use a lot more than that, so i've been buying masa flour instead, generally intended for tortillas. this makes a denser and finer batter than ordinary meal, but i can work around that. not at all a traditional cornbread.

(https://i.imgur.com/ncK1JeDl.jpg)

didn't have any milk, either, so i'm using sour cream and a small amount of water. you can make excellent cornbread with yogurt as well, or if you're vegan, even a grain emulsion like almond or rice milk. if you want a gluten binder you can put in some bread flour. i don't like that much, personally.

aside from that, just some baking powder, salt, sugar of you want it, and some sort of oil or shortening, maybe. in oklahoma the traditional kitchen controversy about cornbread is whether or not to put shortening in the batter. it works either way. as an experiment i pushed the envelope towards cake with this and dropped in two beaten eggs. i'm curious how the masa will react to that.

hardcore okie cornbread is all cornmeal, no bread flour, no sugar, maybe or maybe not an egg. when you do it that way you have about a two minute window to take it out of the oven between soggy wet and choking dry.

400 F and twety minutes or so, until a stick comes out of the center clean.

worked great. high density and moist, as i was expecting. i'll try it with less liquid and more baking powder. i've tried using sodium bicarboate as a leavening in it, but it tends to produce too much CO2 too quickly:

i've got some black button sage honey i brought with me from california some fifteen years ago. excellent stuff. never crystallizes, and it's very good on cornbread.

the number one son and his girlfriend are due here this weekend. if they show up while there's still time, i'll make up some tofu curry for thanksgiving.

My Granny used to make cornbread fit for the Gods.  She also used to make Hoecake which is something like fried bread.  It was made in a frying pan (skillet).  Really good victuals in any case.  The cornbraed Granny was on my mothers side. She was a sure enough southerner.  My Other Granny was a Yankee who surmised that cornbread is useful only to slop the pigs.

I have a simple solution to the making of cornbread.  Buy Jiffy Mix, about 79 cents per box. Mix it with a bit of water and egg, throw in some shredded Jalapeno bits and bake.  It ain't the real cornbread that Granny used to make but it will do for a hapless cook like me.

Friend wife, Elaine, spent a lot of time preparing Thanksgiving dinner. It consisted of Roast Turkey, candied yams, white potato casserole, green beans, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and a bit of Chardonnay.  Followed later with a pumpkin pie with a walnut crust.

All that for two people was silly but appreciated. All the children and other parts of my and her family were hundreds of miles away.

Elaine did not intend to cook a big turkey but she is a crafty shopper.  Two turkey legs would have cost more than the whole damned turkey.  She came home with a 13 pound beast that she had bought for $6.38.   It came from a premium market chain that could be trusted not to sell inferior or questionable items, certainly not turkey that is famously covered with nasty bacteria,.

Did you know that the Thanksgiving myth about the pilgrims with the generous, friendly, native Americans is likely to be bullshit?   More......Among most of the native Americans, this day is regarded as a day of Mourning.  It is a matter of fact that Europeans killed a million indians and stole their land.  The Indian people have not forgotten it.

hoecake . . . it sounds a lot like what we used to call corn pone.

when my lovely wife and i took up commercial beekeeping, we were super poor. sometimes had nothing but fried dough to eat. that was wheat dough.

one christmas we had nothing to eat except a pjece of salmon one of my beeyard landowners gave to us after a fishing trip, and a bottle of wine we saved from our wedding.

no money, but we dined on ocean salmon poached in champagne that evening.

if i cut carbs to near zero i can lose a kilo or more a week. i need to, as i have to lose ten to get back into my racing leathers. i have to do this every winter.

so no alcohol, no bread, no rice, no pasta, no potatoes, no sugar, no starchy vegetabes, no fruit, no juicez, none of anything with carbohydrates in it.

but all the green vegetables and fats and oily nuts i want. plus i can eat meat, but hate meat. cheeses and eggs are okay too.

That eating plan does work. I have been doing it for a few months, but only on week days. I am more relaxed about it on weekends , because my extended family and I traditionally go out to restaurants once or twice every weekend. I have lost 7 kg so far, in spite of continuing to drink around 500 ml of milk with its high lactose content every day. I don't buy bread or cake, because I'm like a 5-year old with no self control. If those are in the house, I know I will not be able to resist.

i need to go from 95kg to around 88 for sure, because my leathers fit like a second skin at that size. anything less than that means i can tuck in tighter and get get more of my body out of the wind.

i tend to fatten up at the end of the season, and then shrink back down as race dates get closer.

how tall are you? 160 pounds would be pretty thin for my height at just under six feet or so. i haven't seen 160 pounds in some 40 years.

i'm targeting around 170 or so eventually, more if i need to put muscle mass on.

muscle is useful, but it's heavy and bulky, and not really what i need. flexibility is much more important.

You really have to read labels if you plan to eat any processed foods. I skip meals if all that's available is junk. Once you realize that you don't need to eat every day it's quite liberating.

ATM, drinking a Samuel Adams Boston Lager. I bought some sweet Italian sausage to grill for dinner tonight. Bought San Francisco sourdough to wrap those babies in.

Sopa de Garbanzo.......Spanish bean soup.............small cubes of red potato, chopped onion, chopped celery, some garbanzo beans, garlic, a dash of cumen and a pinch of oregano, a bit of saffron, and Spanish (not Mexican type, it tastes different) chorizo sausage. all drowned with chicken broth.  Simmer for a while, then enjoy with some authentic Cuban bread.  Maybe some maia e maia...(help me out with my feeble Latino spelling Mags)...Half and  half.... It is half Cuban coffee and half hot milk. 

Real Cuban bread is indescribably delicious. There are many imposters that dare to call some variable of the French baguette, Cuban bread.  It is not the same by several miles.  Real Cuban bread invariably has a Palmetto leaf enclosed with the long skinny package.  I think that it is baked with that leaf resting the loaf.

during the workweek i'm awak at 0300 and generally don't get back to the house until around 4 in the afternoon or so. in bed two hours later and asleep by 7. so i tend to eat poorly during the work week, just what i can pack in a plastic tub and buy at the truck stops. but on the weekends i can actually cook real food. this was all stir fried in butter over low heat and then hit with oregano. nothing else except black coffee.

i may or may bnot eat any, actually. i'm losing weight to fit into my motorcycle leathers, so i'm off the carbohydrates until further notice. but we've got teenagers in the house, including one from uganda who's here until the boarding school in town opens up.

so i made cornbread this morning for them. dunno whether the ugandan has ever had it. yesterday i made them blueberry pancakes and didn't eat any of those either.

coffee for me so far. no carbs in that.

Today, friend wife made a nice stir fry of unknown country origin. It was good.  Just throw every veggie you can find into the wok along with some beef, pork or chicken bits and some oil.  A side dish of rice is optional but works well with the stir fry.

It got my mind wandering. It would be interesting to add some extra elements to it, maybe sprinkle chocolate chips onto a thick layer of cream cheese and strawberry jam.

:notsure:

After reeling my mind back in I've decided that is probably not a good idea.

Oh well.  :shrug:

Pseudo butter and thin sliced cucumber with a smidge of salt.

Intriguing combination.  :chin:

Morning-room in Algernon's flat in Half-Moon Street. The room is luxuriously and artistically furnished. The sound of a piano is heard in the adjoining room.

[Lane is arranging afternoon tea on the table, and after the music has ceased, Algernon enters.]

Algernon. Did you hear what I was playing, Lane?

Lane. I didn't think it polite to listen, sir.

Algernon. I'm sorry for that, for your sake. I don't play accurately—any one can play accurately—but I play with wonderful expression. As far as the piano is concerned, sentiment is my forte. I keep science for Life.

Lane. Yes, sir.

Algernon. And, speaking of the science of Life, have you got the cucumber sandwiches cut for Lady Bracknell?

Lane. Yes, sir. [Hands them on a salver.]

Ooh, I'm just Wilde about your style.

Of course you are, you're from Brazil.

I am not just nutty, I'm a fruitcake as well.

:lol: Hey, 'walnut tree' is my middle name! :grin: I will own the right to be nutty. :P

Depends on the pizza and toppings whether it's good cold. Pepperoni, bacon, and most veggies are fine but some sausage is not. Also pineapple is good on cold pizza.

Friend wife is a sushi freak. She is also hooked on Thai foods such as Tofu curry.  If I did not love and cherish her, I  might file for divorce because of the offense of favoring such sickening comestible horrors.

To her credit she does not bring home enough of that stuff that I will be forced to share.  I am a veggie guy who thoroughly appreciates a nice salad of rabbit like food.  Then there are the fruit salads....Yummy!  Just throw whatever fruit is on hand in a bowl, Add some sharp cheese shreds and some some walnuts or pecans, and I am good to go.

I confess that I like beans, a sufficient source of protein and they satisfy the starch craving.  Onion and garlic makes me less than welcome at social gatherings but I do want the scrumptious flavors of those smelly things. Not that beans are post consumption smelly things.

We had grilled (reheated) leg&thigh pieces from CostCo. Its $5 for almost 3 pounds, and it's already cooked, just needs to be heated back up. That and some 4-bean salad from CostCo. Easy dinner, especially since one of my sons heated the chicken up on the grill.

As for cheese, I bought some, and I quote off the package, "Rugged, Mature" English cheddar from CostCo last Sunday. I had a slice of it today and it was good, but my all-time favorite cheese is Kraft Extra Sharp Cheddar. I could eat that over even any kind of chocolate that I've ever had. That's where my taste buds go. :thumbsup:

My two step daughters brought me some of my favorite food for my birthday.  Piccodilla, rice, black beans, Chicago hard rolls, diced onions immersed in rice vinegar. and some nice wine.........followed by cheese cake and or lemon cake.  Bless their hearts I pigged out on all that good food.  My natural daughter who lives 400 miles away sent a basket of goodies with four kinds of exotic cheeses, fancy peppered salami, oil based olives, and a bunch of other delicious but not particularly healthy goodies.

How should I spell Piccodillia? Mags will know I suspect.  I do not know but I do like it........It consists of ground beef, raisins, olives, small tomato bits, capers, and tender love and care. Black beans over rice is topped with the onion bits.  Yummmy!!!

summer food

back when i wrote computer manuals for IBM, i knew an iranian jew (yes) who was a physicist for some silicon valley tech firm

his wife worked for a pharmaceutical with my wife at the time, and so we spent time at htheir place where his aged iranian mother would cook for us and wait until we belched to show our satisfaction.

anyway, she taught me to take peta bread, cuti open, spred the inside with butter, and layer it with feta cheese and fresh basil leaves.

fantastic warm-weather meal. i've been eatin git for decades now.

(https://i.imgur.com/7eGavs4l.jpg)

i used to libe where they grew basil by the acre. fantasic to smell a five acre field of blooming basil upwind from your house.

anyway, here in coal country basil is old and hard to find. but its around, and you can still eat eat like you lived in isfahan.

my sister lived there, in fact, and in 1979 got an all-expense paid trip from the american embassy in tehran to houston, in a C130.

strange days indeed.

Acorns is it?  Our distant ancestors may have known about this potential food source.  I recall that long ago in a survival course, I learned that certain acorns are edible and nutritious.  So far I have not needed to use them as a matter of survival.  Sure enough, I have some oak trees in my yard that do deliver some acorns.  The squirrels are pleased and I do not deprive the little rodents of their good fortune.

The nice lady in the video lets us know that harvesting and processing them is a labor intensive pain in the ass.

The only tale that I know about acorns, is as follows: people of lesser means  sometimes have a stroke of luck in which they have an unexpected gain. An expression, probably southern US origin, states; 'Even a blind hog sometimes finds an acorn".  JJ and Billy, not necessarily of meager means, but southerners, and me of course, will have heard that one.

Meanwhile, let us rejoice in the biblical promise: The Lord shall provide.

As you say it's a labour intensive pain in the arse for us. But if one has nothing better to do all day but forage and store things for winter it's just what our hunter/gatherer ancestors did. I used to think they were poisonous not that they simply tasted bad.

Look for King Arthur flour. I mess around with bread making and have found that brand far better that the standard flours like  General Mills types. KA is of the "hard" variety of flours.  Also makes very good biscuits and pancakes.

Food.

I'm relieved, Father Bruno. For a moment there I thought you ate things that weren't considered 'food'. :P

Well don't be too relieved xSP...I eat mainly a whole food plant based everything diet, so basically I'm a vegetarian...though I do eat fish on a somewhat regular basis, and will eat meat on special occasions (I'm not like some type of vegan-nazi or anything).

I actually do enjoy tofu (I don't do tofu-turkey) , and quinoa, both are somewhat regular parts of my diet, and I adore bleu cheese, but since I also don't do dairy I don't eat it very often...sometimes though I'll buy a small container and sprinkle some on my salad. The nice thing about bleu cheese is it doesn't go bad, it just gets bluer. 8)

Recently when I was on vacation in Honduras, one of the wife's family who has visited and stayed with us here in the States and who knows how I eat said he was impressed by my dedication to eating healthy especially when traveling, but I had to tell him I'm not dedicated to this way of eating. This is just how I live my life. It's the natural choice for me, and isn't some kind of chore. It isn't hard. I don't feel like I'm missing out. I don't feel deprived. It's something that I enjoy all the way in my core. It makes me happy....even if people sometimes treat me like some type of celibate eunuch 8)

Tonight I had some grilled veggies, asparagus spears, spinach, squash and zuccini noodles, tomatoes, onions, beets, and a small piece of salmon, plus a bowl of grapes. 8)

Food.
Don't trust the Americans when it comes to nutrition. Impulsive consumerism is part of American culture. So, they are not the sharpest tools in the shed. Your eating lifestyle is healthy. It is way healthier than the standard American diet. Just ignore the idiots. People sometimes treat you like a celibate eunuch because they are impulsive consumers or manipulative for money.

Zucchini, tomatoes, and grapes sound good to me, though.

Well alright you two. No raisins.  But you should have some  reverence for those poor dehydrated  grapes.  Remember that grapes are a biblical fruit and if you dis them, Jesus might smite you.

Raisins are a necessary ingredient for oatmeal cookies.  Who doesn't like oatmeal cookies? Pimekin (sp) anyone?

  :shrug:

I prefer grapes or grape juice. Not raisins nor alcoholic beverages made with grapes. Alcoholic beverages of any kind taste repulsive to me anyway. Raisins and alcoholic beverages can disappear from history for all I care. Because I believe people have desensitized taste buds if they like either of those 2 things. Raisins taste like overly perfumed nipples. Grapes taste less poisonous. Alcoholic beverages taste like potions that should be in a scientific laboratory rather than my mouth.

Oatmeal cookies taste weird to me with raisins. I prefer oatmeal cookie dough than oatmeal cookies.

My Granny used to make cornbread fit for the Gods.  She also used to make Hoecake which is something like fried bread.  It was made in a frying pan (skillet).  Really good victuals in any case.  The cornbraed Granny was on my mothers side. She was a sure enough southerner.  My Other Granny was a Yankee who surmised that cornbread is useful only to slop the pigs.

I have a simple solution to the making of cornbread.  Buy Jiffy Mix, about 79 cents per box. Mix it with a bit of water and egg, throw in some shredded Jalapeno bits and bake.  It ain't the real cornbread that Granny used to make but it will do for a hapless cook like me.

Friend wife, Elaine, spent a lot of time preparing Thanksgiving dinner. It consisted of Roast Turkey, candied yams, white potato casserole, green beans, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce and a bit of Chardonnay.  Followed later with a pumpkin pie with a walnut crust.

All that for two people was silly but appreciated. All the children and other parts of my and her family were hundreds of miles away.

Elaine did not intend to cook a big turkey but she is a crafty shopper.  Two turkey legs would have cost more than the whole damned turkey.  She came home with a 13 pound beast that she had bought for $6.38.   It came from a premium market chain that could be trusted not to sell inferior or questionable items, certainly not turkey that is famously covered with nasty bacteria,.

Did you know that the Thanksgiving myth about the pilgrims with the generous, friendly, native Americans is likely to be bullshit?   More......Among most of the native Americans, this day is regarded as a day of Mourning.  It is a matter of fact that Europeans killed a million indians and stole their land.  The Indian people have not forgotten it.
Is it is more likely that turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and other foods from Thanksgiving only came from white settlers' culinary history. Because meat was not easy to find in America before white settlers brought animals them on American soil. Mashed potatoes originate in the U.K. Cranberry sauce is unlikely to have been in the first Thanksgiving meal. Pie is not part of native American culture. Corn is more likely to be food that native Americans ate. There is no solid evidence that turkey was eaten during the first Thanksgiving meal, either.

The U.S. military is founded on racism, genocide, slavery, and patriarchy. Its historical roots come from the white, Christian, and male army stealing natives land through terrorizing violence kleptocratically. U.S. military people are still bombing lands to steal resources to benefit ultra-wealthy kleptocrats. Which is why American society lives in a state of psychosis, superiority complex, sadistic violence, domestic violence against women, crime, immorality, and stockholm syndrome. It's why there are non-Americans who do not want to live in America. Because it is a country founded on racism, genocide, slavery, violence, and patriarchy. It has never been nor will be ruled by decent people until they end the toxic cycle of greed and corruption.

I call them facts that can be proven with increasing wealth inequality, how the military-industrial complex controls media companies to indoctrinate working class Americans into war, increasing sweatshops, global warming threatening our ecosystem and animals' health caused by mostly American businesses (especially their very cruel meat and dairy industries that cause lots of methane pollution), mental health illnesses caused by what is normalized in American culture, and Edwarden Snowden and Julian Assange being threatened by the fascist U.S. government authorities because America was never the land of freedom nor democracy, especially not towards working class Americans considering elites use their exclusive wealth to bribe and lobby for electing puppet politicians that normalize greed and corruption rather than compassion and justice.

That will be the last time of me derailing this thread.

Because meat was not easy to find in America before white settlers brought animals them on American soil.

fight song, i am an enrolled member of the cherokee nation, and my family has equal roots with the chickasaw.

the southern indians such as cherokee, choctaw, chickasaw, creek, and seminole were farmers, but had a lot of meat in their diet from whitetailed deer, bear, and fish. the cherokee hunted wildfowl with snares and used blowguns on both birds--such as turkey-- and small game like squirrels and rabbits. the choctaws used tbrowing sticks, as do the southwest indians. game was common and part of the americam diet all across the continent.

even tbe paiutes ate deer, elk, and buffalo, as sell as smsll game and fish

just sayin. i confess i am lousy at hitting anything with throwing sticks, even the australian kind

I have somehow contracted an oddball urge to bake vintage breads.  I have had some failures and also some pretty good results. I am still trying to figure out the actual chemical function of Poolish, Biga, and sponge.  Sourdough starter is a whole nother ballgame.   You make some starter and then must throw out half of it when feeding the original batch. Starter is said to be like raising children.  You have to feed them regularly and also care for them carefully.

Yesterday, in a fit of new discovery, I tried to make sweet potato flat bread.  That sort of bread is not levened with yeast.  It is mainly just two ingredients, Sweet potato and flour, maybe with a wee bit of salt.   It is cooked, not baked, on a griddle or frying pan.  If made as a "roti" it is thin and flexible, something like a tortilla.  As an unafraid adventurer I followed the directions for one of the many You Tube recipes.  The one I followed used Oatmeal flour rather than all purpose flour. 

Lacking any ambition for a doing a trip to the grocery store for oat flour, I made my own.  Throw a bunch of oatmeal into the food processor and grind it for a while. I did that and made the flat bread which turned out to be a somewhat novel concoction, but also tasted pretty good.

Learning to make delicious, crusty, open crumb, bread turns out to be more art than science. Sorta like learning to play the concert violin while lacking any innate musical talent. Bread making is more fun than learning the concert violin, however.  Warning to newbies who may take a chance on bread making.   Test your yeast before using it in your recipe. Be extremely careful of the ratio of water to flour, let it "rest" or "proof" longer than you think is necessary but do not overdo the yeasts gaseous expansion thing.

Yeast, when feeding, releases carbon dioxide and alcohol in the dough. Both those are good if controlled. That is where the art form becomes involved.

Jesus had some sort of shortcut method for making bread that he has not divulged to we non believers.

Icarus, bread baking is more than a craft. It is a form of creative art that can occupy your thoughts of every waking hour as well as your dreams. Are you familiar with Paul Hollywood's books?

Thanks for updating my knowledge about the native Americans having meat in their diets.

Modern technology that makes foods at a rapid pace to distribute them all for customers has made traditional hunting less common in America. Hence, there has been a decreased demand for hunting talent and hunting skills in America. The physically strong hunters with sensitive senses used for hunting and focused predator-like mentality have all decreased in America's population. More Americans have desensitized their senses, such as hearing, tasting, smelling, and touching while shortening attention span for concentration when hunting. So, more people in America have damaged their senses while being lazier with sedentary lifestyles now than older generations. Which is why more Americans are less in touch with mother nature and healthy living. Because alcohol, smoking, harmful drugs, junk foods, junk drinks, sedentary lifestyle, staying indoors, and other ways of desensitizing their senses make them lose their connection to mother nature and healthy living. They are becoming increasingly greedy and corrupt consumers of amoral capitalism that damage their bodies' health, senses, and minds. Traditional hunting would stop the meat and dairy industries' methane pollution that currently threatens our ecosystem, mother nature, and people's bodies. Native Americans had a much healthier environment and way of eating in the past.

Otherwise, I am going to eat blueberries, creamy spinach, spicy oatmeal with dried cranberries, eggs, and bacon for breakfast.

I prepared an old family's recipe of my wife, namely deer goulash with red cabbage (with apples), cranberries, spätzle and cranberries. Took about three hours to cook, but that was worth every second. We drank a nice Dornfelder red wine with it.

Ordinary sweet potato.  The usual ratio of flour to potato is one to one.   Flat breads of this kind usually use regular wheat flour, not oat flour.  When using wheat flour, the patties will fluff up a little bit.  No yeast or leavening needed.  You can make flatbread in a few minutes, over a campfire if appropriate.   This kind of bread has been around for thousands of years.  You can use squash, white potato, or other mash able vegetable, with a little bit of sugar content, instead of sweet potato.  Cheap too. The veggies add some taste but the main function of the veg is to hold the flour together and hydrate the flour somewhat.

If you have the patience to experiment, the mixture might benefit for some rest time after mixing, so as to allow the flour to begin to become active and convert some of the protein in the flour, to a small amount of gluten.  That would tend to make the finished flat bread somewhat chewy.  You could overdo the gluten production by kneading the mixture a few minutes, let it rest for 15 minutes or so and then knead it some more. Then let it rest for a few minutes before putting it in the hot skillet.

I am going to try adding Jalapeno bits to the next batch..  Imagination is the only limit.  Try the flour and sweet potato mix, add some crispy bacon bits in the mixture.

I will wager that some of your back country Appalachian neighbors are entirely familiar with this kind of victual and its variations.
