Veggie burger with naan... (with lots of chutney and black pepper and some lettuce because I need my green veggies) And I'm drinking acai berry juice. Might be a weird combination, but it's good, and the best I can do when I'm home alone and have to cook for myself
Bread. And somehow I've lost weight. I thought I had. Ten pounds. How? By focusing on everything else. Haha. Actually I think it's just the result of habit, little changes over years. And I bet it will come back soon. I think the jogging last weekend actually took some off. I could feel it a few days later.
AND, yesterday, I picked loads of wild berries! Over 4 cups, which is enough to make a pie or a cobbler! Did I make one? No, I did no such thing! I ate them. And, do you know what? For some of them I had to climb a ladder, as the vines had grown up into some very tall, tree-like bushes, and those berry clumps were just sitting there, hanging down, taunting me. I couldn't reach them without the ladder, though. AND, I had to put the ladder in these crazy ways, so I could stand with one foot on that, will bracing a knee on our compost bin, and balancing over hoards of (ultra) thorny berry bushes in order to just barely get those other ones that were way in the back! It was hard work! Some of them still have red kernels and are a little tart, and some of them have still some spider web on them, and I think I sometimes eat a little spider webs. Oh well . YAY for berries!
Fresh wild berries... mmmmmm. I want some! Wild berries make me wonder if the stuff they sell in the supermarket are really berries... or something else in disguise.
I'm eating brownies. Warm, chocolatey, decadent... yummy. And so healthy .
*Hands thinkgreen some berries* ...
I know what you mean! There's nothing like fresh from the garden (or from the wild) fruits and vegetables! My sister and her husband own 85 acres of fruit farm, and it's *so* delicious to eat those fruits! There are also little tiny fresh strawberries that grow wild here, though I've never really harvested them. There's also delicious mushrooms that grow wild ... mmmmmm ... except, with those, it is nearly inescapable that you eat little worms in them, too .
I just ate a not-so-frozen banana with chocolate on it. so yummy. I couldn't wait for the banana to freeze, but the chocolate was at least hardened! *licks chops*
Yum! Bananas and chocolate are so good together! Actually I like chocolate with almost anything. I heard that if you put frozen bananas through a juicer, it tastes like ice cream. Haven't tried it, but if it's true... that'd be amazing! Ice cream without all the sugar and fat.
I did see Bobali, whatever those little pizzas are, in the store the other day. I can't buy those though.
crushed up shitake mushrooms in there, too.
I dread to think what they are.Thal
They are just dried Shitake mushrooms,...They do have worms in them ... ) ... $10/pound.
so they're more expensive becuase they come with worms?
I love Shitake
No, the opposite. Actually, I think that most things that are made artfully, thoughtfully, and with fresh and fine ingredients are *not* unhealthy, but rather part of a balanced diet. It seems like that's true no matter what it is, but maybe my imagination is tiny right now. Sometimes I have phases of wanting less meat, but that doesn't mean I think of it in general as unhealthy. But, I think I've said this a million times .In any event, I'd like to see a photo sometime of one of your meals! It sounds too good to be true . That's a whole class of home cooking that, if it's *ever* in my future, probably isn't going to be so for decades. But, mmmmmm ... all the same . *puts it on the list*Where I'm at right now, I could probably handle about three to five bites of red meat ... but, that might change before I know it!
So what's on the menu? One lovely big organic Herefordshire sirloin steak, well hung (no, I'm not talking about Thal here!), beautifully matured and as tender as you please, pan-fried and rare (with the fat lightly charred), with some seasoned Rooster potatoes sautéed in a mix of unsalted organic Charentais butter and a light organic olive oil, the whole accompanied by a dressed (that's to say a mix of organic extra virgin Italian olive oil and Charentais walnut oil, a little lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt and pepper) salad of red oak leaf, spinach, frisée and beet leaves, organic watercress and fresh chives from outside the back door (if there are any left) - not forgetting a glass or three of a lovely 2000 St. Émilion that I picked up in St. Émilion itself a few months back. And, to follow, a tiny platter of cheeses - just two, a Devon Oke and an unpasteurised organic Dorset Blue Vinney with some petite mange blanc bread (sadly not from France where it would be much better than it ever is here) - then, to end, a mixed berry dish of Scottish raspberries, blackberries and local loganberries marinated in a very small amount of framboise with a little unpasteurised Cornish cream and just a sliver or two of Scottish shortbread.
Sounds a bit too upper class for me. I have a packet of pickled onion monster munch and a can of Tizer.
Burrrrrrpppppp
