[Leros]

Made an Indian curry with some curry in a jar. Its okay curry.

 

[nageov3t]

worked too late to run out and grab a roll, so I ended up just having meatballs by themselves.

 

[Eos]

Eggs Benedict with pork sausage patties instead of Canadian bacon. I butter the cups of the egg poacher. I do use a powdered hollandaise mix instead of from scratch, but tbh, I really wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I eat this a couple times a week. Fuck yes.

 

[eldorado99]

Green beans fried in sesame oil and sliced almonds with a pinch of sea salt. Perogies. Sockeye salmon.

Lol, all these fine meals here, mine was decidedly lower key and less ambitious. Basically, I was just eating what was taking up room in the fridge. So that was some re-steamed basmati rice "slathered" in Korean red bean sauce and more steamed broccoli, as I'd bought quite a bit.

Since there was no big meat entree, I made a (very) simple but quite tasty sauce for the broccoli from nutritional yeast mixed in melted butter. It's a relic from my vegetarian days. It probably sounds either obscure or gross to many of you, but it's actually excellent, with a kind of cheesy, nutty flavor. When you're a strict veggie and consume little to no dairy as well (vegan), your body needs and so your taste buds actually crave nutritional yeast with its bounty of B complex vitamins otherwise lacking from your diet.

I then also sauteed a couple of pieces of tofu in tamari (soy sauce) with some slivers of fresh ginger and some garlic.

All very simple and healthy, not that I was necessarily strongly going for that, but decently healthy none the same.

I had thought I'd get hungry at some point afterward and that I'd then make a dent in the two large containers of home-made chicken soup in my fridge, but that didn't happen. No room in my freezer for either as it's full of the excess of other stuff I've prepared along with other purchased stuff at the moment.

For the record, this chicken soup bears no resemblance to what most of you would think of when you think of chicken soup. I leave a fair amount of fat in the stock . . . because I like fat! . . . along with all the meat harvested from the carcass, and then I add a shit-ton of whatever veggies I happen to have in the fridge, plus either diced up potatoes or rice, depending.

I also go quite heavy on the green herbs plus sage in the preparation. Mmmmmm, the smell when I add the herbs and sage while its cooking is to die for! I also add cayenne.

Gonna have to get after that soup today. I think I'll get a good loaf of crusty bread and just have that with the soup and a bottle or two of the Lilja Sasquatch Stout I have sitting in my fridge . . . yeah . . . again, simple and low key but good enough for the likes of me.

Go Phillies!
