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?

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.
ice blocks
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.
Hmm, I suspect I would want to add some not so healthy ice cream to it.

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

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.

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.

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? " thread, though in the interests of good taste I hope it doesn't catch on.

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.

Tonight it's 3/4 hotdog night. Kinda ordinary but easy to make, so...
I call it 3/4 because one essential ingredient is missing. I have bread, something that resembles a meat sausage :notsure:, ketchup but no mustard. :sadshake:
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 made some fried burritos with ground beef, cactus, sour cream, shredded cheese, onions, avocado, and hot sauce.
At the moment? Nothing.
Made some white chicken chili yesterday. Will be eating some of that tomorrow.
And the next day.

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

Never bothered again. It was actually banned at school anyway

Yes and it's much cheaper if you buy the 1 liter bottles instead of pop. I buy them whenever I have spare dollars, other wise I have regular water.

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 made these (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/katie-lee/fish-tacos-with-creamy-chipotle-sauce-and-pico-de-gallo) last night and just finished the leftovers for lunch. Got better sitting, which I thought they might. Super good and not really complicated at all. Halved the mayo sauce because I like to actually taste my food.

Looks yummy. I get the fish tacos at a local restaurant and always have the mayo on the side.
Just finished lunch. PB+J on a tortilla, cauliflower, apple, small bit of chocolate ;-)

Ah, not all mixed and wrapped together then. I know how 'Muricans eat strange things but . . .
Cauliflower is pretty bland. You could probably work it in if prepared right. I know a lot of "Paleo diet" people who use it in place of potatoes.
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:

I eat my cereal dry. What I mean is that every morning for breakfast I eat cereal and drink a can of Dasani Sparkling Lime simultaneously. Like 'normal' people would drink orange juice or something.
I haven't had sugary drinks in so long now, I don't even drink juice. lol
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.
Oh well, I've had a bad habit with sweets recently... Cookies, donuts, ice cream. Lol. So it's not like I'm really low on sugar. It's just that I'm not taking it horrible amounts like one would drinking as much Coke as I was. =/
Last semester I ate a lot of rice. I'm kind of tired of it for the time being.

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.

Cool - thanks... I'll have to try 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 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.

Agreed!
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.
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.
Kizka looks like a cross between haggis and black pudding. But redder or browner.

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:

Hmmmmmm
(Tonight it's full Chinese so I am being healthy for lunch!)
Friend wife did her weekly tour of the local farmers market, then the supermarket to buy some .....Monkfish filets. She had gotten Broccoli, beets, radish,a loaf of seeded bread, and strawberries at the farmers market. She baked the beets and the broccoli along with the fish. I did like the veggies and the delightful bread, but had no taste for Monkfish, a nasty ugly bottom dweller whose flesh resembled lobster.

Terrible thing to do with something that has a, er, delicate flavour! Brown bread and a salad at the most. Mayonaise as the strongest sauce.
Even bottom dwellers have their use. ;)
I had Steinbeisser fillets (wolffish, also known as the seawolf, Atlantic catfish, ocean catfish, devil fish, wolf eel, woof or sea cat) on the menu. I prepared in the oven with a Chinese herb mixture and fresh coriander. I served it with a curry fried rice; a nice chutney and a salad.

Why, oh, why, oh why did you have to go and get my gastric juices flowing at this time of night!
Makes the pulled duck with Hoisin sauce and pancakes (spring onions, cucumber and red pepper sticks with a salsa dip on the side) I had earlier sound almost pedestrian.
(Hmm, think there is some pepperoni left in the fridge . . .)
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.
i just had a bowl of cold, mixed fruit...orange and tangerine slices along with some papaya and strawberries, with a bit of honey dribbled over the top,..i fruit and honey,...it was fucking perfect, felt like i was kissing the belly of 80's Madonna.
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...
Pizza and chocolate ice cream.

How do you prepare your rice? Is it just plain white rice? Or do you make the Mexican style rice with vegetables in it?

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.

I like Mexican rice with spicy stuff in it.
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.

English rice pudding is made with sugar and cinnamon. The last being the only interest in the dish.

I would like to try palm sugar from Bangladesh. :smilenod:
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.

The rice I cook is just the regular rice that comes in a plastic bag. I guess we fry our rice, boil it, and steam it.
^ 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?

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:

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.
I just had a Jersey Mike's sub, would have much preferred Gloucester's smiling cheese plate.
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 . . .

Actual article from CNN this morning:
Frozen hash brown recall due to possible 'extraneous golf ball materials". (http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/22/health/hash-brown-recall/index.html)
Wonder what grilled or fried golfball smells like? Burned rubber?
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!
Two leftover biscuits (American type) with butter. I put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds. I wasn't really hungry, but I needed to take some medication that can potentially cause upset if I take it on an empty stomach.

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. You just have to. Do it. Try them. Now. Stop reading. Go to your market. Buy them. Eat them.
I love any veggie pickled, or any pickled veggie. 8)
Interesting.... Pickled asparagus........ so.... um... does the pickled variety produce the same .... um..... "after-effect" as asparagus does raw or cooked? I might have to do an experiment, as we are huge fans of anything pickled.

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?
Naw!
"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.
Soon...plates of Mexican food. Yes, plates, with a "s".

These are what Doritos wish they could be. But instead they bought a fake orange tan because they have a small penis. No they are just corn chips.

Nuffink! Chucked up my soup and orange after tea and then the yoghurt I risked an hour later. Delayed gastric reaction to opioids? Took last of those at 8.30 this morning and my breakfast and lunch stayed put.
Not only that whiskey when this problem over but a posh - but not spicey - meal as well! Lobster sounds good if I can find a nearby restaurant that does such.

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...

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.
Same as last time but stir-fried in olive oil with soya sauce and cayenne powder and served in a seeded panini.

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 had low country boil for the first time a couple months ago....totally a southern (US) treat! It was a little spicy and a lot delicious!

Porridge is also a British slang term for doing prison time i.e. doing porridge.

We need a "given up on life" smilie.
I'm pretty certain my body is now consuming itself.
Half hour to go, if they're on time.
Well best of luck with the op!
Good luck,PC, and don't forget to drink plenty of hot whisky and lemon. ;)
Best of wishes, PC.
I well know that empty feeling. Hope you have some nice sugary sweets in your recovery pack! Went through a whole pack of fruit flavoured jobs last time. Well, apart from the ones the nurses had - I prefer the yellow, orange and green to the red or black ones.

I ate the greatest no-salt saltine in the world about an hour after waking up.
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.

Good news, PC, and clichė but - "Get Well Soon"!

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.

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.
I hope you've not been forgetting the hot whisky and lemon.

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 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

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)

HaHa, sorry xSP if I sounded defensive I didn't mean or intend to, but thinking about this guy in Honduras made me a little red under the collar...besides bugging me about what I was eating, (Basically wondering why I wasn't pigging out on the buffet at the resort we were staying at like he was) he also gave me some grief about not drinking.

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.

Wow! 3.5 years!?
Congratulations, Father Bruno, I'm very proud of you!

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
About to eat a little spicey stir fried poultry with peas, peppers and potato. Had a slice of delicious ham, red onion, green pepper and asparagus quiche for lunch in town, washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice.

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.

Similar to the fried beef and curried beans I once had! But different.
It was beans on toast with lashings of Worcestershire sauce for me.
About to tuck into...
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!

I just had a dry-aged T-Bone steak with mixed mushrooms, green beans and Schupfnuddel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schupfnudel). Best steak I had in ages.
Walnuts
Asparagus tips, fine beans and spring onions sautéd in water with butter and a little pepper until only the glaze left with mashed potato with butter, pepper and garlic accompanying honey roast ham.
That sounds good Gloucester, love a good bit of honey roast ham.
I bought myself a big lump of blue cheese, working out what I'm going to have it with.

More gorilla lore..... do you know why gorillas have big nostrils ? It's because they have big fingers.
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.
We had trout. There was funny potatoes and other stuff with it. Very nice.

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.

I had Shropshire Fidget Pie last night, with cheesey mashed potatoes. Fidget pie contains all kinds of bits of meat - presumably odds and sods left over. It is very nice indeed, although I had never heard of it before.
EDIT if you Google it, you only find pork or ham with apples. Mine wasn't like that at all.

Yum. Making fish tacos as soon as the tilapia's thawed. Eating strawberries in the meantime.
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.
I am eating dill flavored potato chips and a ham sandwhich with mayo and mustard. Also my drink of choice, Gatorade.
Minced beef (I think...at least, I hope) with potato and carrot slices, white rice and crumb...things.
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?

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!)

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.
Had this yesterday. Didn't taste bad but the mango flavored candy was too much sugar.

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 . . .)

...AND...and...you've been learning to cook! :tellmemore:
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.
For the first time in days (maybe a week? I can't remember) I've had a decent homemade meal, not take-out sandwiches or biscuits for lunch.
Homemade bean burrito. (12 hours in the slow cooker)

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.
Lindt chilli flavoured really dark chocolate!
Bought it as a birthday treat for tomorrow but decided to make it a pre-birthday treat just to get me in the mood!

Scrambled eggs with onions, carrot and bacon cubes. Not exactly very healthy but oh so good! :yum:
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.
Lunch: Kania smoked ham on triple olive bread with olive oil spread and grapes, toms and spring onions.

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.

Soon to indulge in something I have not had for a couple of decades - chicken tikka masala. Only supermarket brand, it will get livened up with extra peas, fine chopped up sweet chilli, ditto green onions, an extra shake or two of cayenne and garlic . . .

(Memo to self, add to shopping list)
Half of that 10" double spicy chicken and pepperoni (with cherry tomatoe and olive slices added by me) I mentioned before. Was only supposed yo be 8" but they got it wrong - only charged for an 8" though.
Went down well with a glass of vino for someone with a depressed appetite! Yum! Other half in the fridge in two pieces. One might be tomorrow's breakfast.
Made a fruit salad out of apples and oranges, sprinkled with cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg and dressed with sour cream and honey. It tasted good until I added pecans to it. That turned out to be going too far.
Sandy; the drill is to roast the pecans with a bit of brown sugar as a coating. Yummy!
Biting my nails. Damn compulsion.
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
I can't remember the last time I had pepperoni pizza. I'll have to remedy that one of these days. :grin:
Chicken sandwich.
Chicken salad.
Two slices of Pizza Frutti di Mare.
I just had a chicken salad wrap. Now I need another one but I'm all out of tortillas.
Marmite sandwhich.
Gammon shank in mustard/honey sauce.
Hmmmm, mmmmm
At first glance I thought you had written "gammon shark" there, Dave. :bigspecs:
Welll harumph! ....Boiled pea nuts. My daughter who lives in the state of Georgia where many a pea nut farm holds forth. sent me some "goobers". We boiled them according to hillbilly recipe. Damn good they are.
I may have some more conventional food later.
I suspect that our JJ, the agriculturist mechanical technician night be familiar with the terms; peanuts, pinders, ground peas, and goobers. Dragonia too.
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.
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.
Wiki
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.

Yeah, in the RAF they gave us a bottle of Guiness if we donated blood to "build us back up". Milk stout was my mother's favourite drink - well, after the xmas port and lemonade!
Surely, "... having rugged physical strength; inured to fatigue or hardships." are eminent qualities for surviving travel? Actually the Wiki history,of porters and stouts is very interesting

A Marmite sandwich. Seem to want a slice of Marmited bread every day at the moment, have done since I started losing weight a month or so ago (stabilised now), maybe I was short of B viramins?

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!

Dave I am aware that Marmite is some sort of spread for bread or whatever. What is it made of? I have the impression that it is also a staple for Aussies. Is it anything like peanut butter?

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.
Nothing. But now I'm thinking about it!
Bananananana!

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!
Just trying a crunchy peanut butter and Marmite sarnie.
Hmm, a taste that needs to be acquired I think.
Well, well, seems you can buy Marmite coated peanuts!

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.,
Home made banana + chocolate + cinnamon + a little raw sugar soya milk shake as mid-afternoon snack/-drink.
Yum!
Will try ginger instead of cinnamon next time.
Later: hmm, prefer the cinnamon . . .
I just had two pieces of week old fried chicken. Not very satisfying... thinking about a pizza for tonight because I don't feel much like cooking.

Baby souls.
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.

Some really sour homemade yoghurt.
Not eating yet, but a meatloaf is in the oven and I'm getting ready to make a strawberry-banana loaf. And possibly start an olive loaf for sandwiches, but that may wait until tomorrow.
There's a little mom and pop burger shack, across the street from my place. I go there once a week. They make a stellar cheeseburger.
I went to Whole Foods and got me an organic sourdough flatbread with a very decent American Hartwell mini Brie style cheese and salami (uncured soppressata).

Mashed sweet potato with gorgonzola and parmesan cheese, carrots cooked in orange juice, rice and some leftover barbecued beef.
The sweet potato and cheese is a great mix. Hell, cheese goes well with practically anything!
Leftovers, lots and lots of leftovers.
^ Yes me too. I do not want to see another turkey or ham for a while. I did like the candied yams, green bean casserole, cranberry/orange relish and even the sourkraut with gravy. Pumpkin pie wasn't bad either. I am pleased that it is gone by now because too much is enough.
I just had a philly steak and cheese sub with an order of onion rings. Solid food instead of just milk.

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.
"I take a tablespoon of coconut oil every day, "
That has some of the worst saturated fats you can find!

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.

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.
A nice cup of coffee :)
Special K cereal, with a banana. Reminds me of Team Flakes, which I haven't seen in decades.
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.
Nothing, but craving basically anything for breakfast.

Yesterday, being Saint Patrick's day required that we have corned beef and cabbage. That was OK but not exciting except that we had some good quality corned beef left over.

I had the poisson et frites, a very simple dish, but one of my favourites.
Is that steak and potatoes with gravy?

:lol: Fish and chips. Now your homework is to translate into Portuguese.
Peixo e.... chipê?
Today I made:
Won Ton soup
Crab Rangoons
Chicken Fried Rice
Shrimp with Lobster Sauce
Peixe e fritas.
Anything that sounds more or less like 'chip' will be confused for SIM card, and I doubt those would make a fine side dish! :grin:
I'm a gonna get fish right one of these days.
If you only do it once, it might be a fluke.

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.

Let me know if you like it. I'm not a cheese snob, but I know what I like.
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.
Escargot.
Spicy Chicken Sammich.
Double Cheeseburger.
RC Cola.
Biscuits and Pepper Gravy.
Hashbrown Casserole.
Over Easy Eggs.
Chocolate Milk.
I'm about to have something called a Brunwich. Roast beef, lamb, and fried eggs on a sub roll.

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.
Greek yogurt with granola.
That cornbread looks really good Billy. How did the flavor compare to course ground meal?

Wishing I had some corn bread to go with 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.

Grilled cheese cheeseburger.
Kittens.
Washing it all down with some vintage '64 baby blood. AB negative, hard to find. Extremely expensive, worth every penny though.
Skipped lunch today. Not a good idea.
I came home and ate way too much lasanga.
im back on a no carb diet.
zero carbs, or as low as i can get it, and calorie reduction as well.
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.
I've lost sixty pounds following that diet since August. The potential for weight loss is incredible.
that is incredible
you must be better at keeping on it than me
I started this year at 240 pounds. By August I had dropped to 220 with excercise. I changed my diet in August and now people don't recognize me at 160, especially since I shaved my beard. I'm down from a size 38 in pants and XL shirts to a size 28-29 in pants and small to medium in shirts.

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.
amazing. if i lost 60 pounds my kids would call the hospital.
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.
Leather left to its own for half a year will shrink though.
It is known.
It's the same for most of your natural fibres.
why do they do that?
Only our god is always
All else is evanescent
I still have a little ways to go. I want to be lean and then perhaps add a bit of mass from there in the form of muscle. I need to be a fair bit stronger than I am.
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.
I'm about 5'10" depending on how my joints are doing on a given day. I don't want to get bigger but I do need to be stronger than I am. I'm the littlest guy grappling at our gym and sometimes you need that pulling strength to get a handle on someone. I'll never look good so I don't give a damn what I look like.
well, i'll root for you but you don't need any motivation. what you've done is inspiring. i've eaten very lightly for two days now and my base weight to start with is currently 202 pounds.
my leathers fit me at 195, and at 186 they're even better.
so we'll see how i do.

A thread dedicated to gaining or losing weight. I love it. I lost a ton of weight last year.
Some rice, lentils and beef. It's not the tastiest food in the world but it's food. :-\
I wish I had some Italian food in front of me instead. :yum: Or Chinese. Maybe some pizza (Italian again!).
I'm making:
Slow roasted chicken quesadillas
Mexican rice
Refried beans
Salsa
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. The rest will be some sort of cooked vegetables. I like grilled vegetables, but I don't like the work. Stove or microwave for ease of prep!
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.

That's a beautiful thing, when you can identify yourself...your personality by desrcibing food. Excellent crossover.
I am not currently eating anything but if I were to descrobe myself in food terms I would say I'm two days past my expiration date for meat products. That is to say, I'm questionable.

Some boring buttered toast.
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:

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.]

cornbread, wussy style so my family will eat it, with sugar and some wheat flour and some soybean oil.
but i stuck a serrano pepper in there too.

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.
Coronavirus Casserole.
Split pea soup for lunch. The label says, "bacon flavored". Well, it certainly was after I dropped 1/4 cup of crumbled bacon in it! :let'seat:
for dinner, i'm drinking johnny walker red label.
Subway Philly Cheese Steak and cheap vodka.
When it is cold and rainy, my wife likes to whip up a vat of chicken soup. My middle son picked up on that and is currently concocting said vat. I'm pleased because I was doing some more construction on a new tool chest and I didn't want to stop to fix dinner. :smilenod:

[partially doxes self] I'm in Simi Valley, so our weather is "similar". I like the part where the ocean breeze cools us off due to the heat above Los Angeles making a convective flow. :smug:
Yesterday I made a delicious pot of Garbanzo soup, complete with Chorizo sausage bits, celery, onion, garlic, cumen, oregano, and a dash of rosemary, all drowned in chicken broth.
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.

I love cold pizza. Tastes better than hot pizza and there is no risk of burning your fingers or mouth!
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.

Not sure of the name of this dish. Sausage (turkey), potatoes, carrots, celery and onion all cooked together in a skillet. That was dinner.
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:
We had grilled shashlik with organic beef, pork and bell peppers. Served it with baked potato slices and an organic salat.
I had Nutrien 1.5 in bag. I'll trade. :grin:

My mother made enough canjica to last a week. What is this strange 'canjica' you're talking about, you ask? It's white corn cooked in a pressure pot with milk (and usually lots of sugar), and cinnamon sticks. Very good in cold weather.
It sounds tasty, Silver!
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!!!

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.

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.

(https://i.imgur.com/IPV270a.jpg)
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.

my chapattis suck. cant make em puff up. people tell me you have to have a hard wheat flour like durum to do it right, but i live where you csnt find that stuff
maybe i can find it online, like i have to do with miso
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.
it was king arthur. cant blame the tools after all
appears to be my technique then
but if i call it roti instead of chapatti it turned out okay
red miso

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)

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.

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.

Jason who?
You debateably call them outbursts. 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.

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.
just ordinary sweet potato?
what proportion with tbe oats?
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.

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.
