14 April 2008

Ask Mecha: What's for lunch? Or breakfast, or dinner, or whatever. Because I like hearing about food.
- Wreck on wheat, skinny, lettuce and seasoning, to go
- Baked Lay's
- Oreo shake

Almost forgot:
- 2 blackened catfish filets, slathered in hot sauce
- carrot sticks and ranch dressing
- iced tea

I finished off the tiny portion left of the mac & cheese we made over the the weekend, and chased it with turkey on olive bread with cheddar, roasted red pepper and dijon. And a glass of water.

Walked to the PO to mail tax returns, so I treated myself to some jerk pork from the food court at Downtown Crossing. Still sweating.

I'm just finishing dinner, which I started about 3 hours ago!

When I got home at 5pm, I heated up a bowl of home-made butternut squash soup. Then I had a work-out.

At 6.30pm I had a small pork chop with broccoli, carrots and cauliflower.

It's now 8.15 and I'm having raspberries and yoghurt.

Leftover pasta I made last week: roasted red pepper, garlic, parmesean/cream sauce.

I had beer, bourbon and Entemann's chocolate chip cookies for lunch. We're gonna have sloppy joes for dinner.

I went to a Cuban restaurant with some coworkers and had huevos cubanos: fried eggs over yellow rice and black beans with hot sauce and yoghurt garlic sauce.
I still have some very nice garlic breath.

It's our 4-year wedding anniversary, so we're going out big time.

Entemann's is the BEST.

Me? I am making beef stew with onions, carrots and potatoes. It stews as I type!

Going out for Thai. Most likely some tom kha gai!

Bagel for breakfast.
Weight watchers frozen chicken enchilada suiza for lunch.
Dinner is hopefully going to be a pasta primavera type thing assuming I get it together and don't just collapse.

Today is one of those days when I feel like I wish I could just take a pill to curb any hunger pangs, and meet all of my nutritional needs; such is my lack of desire to cook or consume food.

Grapes and green tea for breakfast (because neither of us felt like eating), pizza for lunch and pasta with salmon cream sauce for dinner.

Lunch was leftover farmers' market pasta--

spring onions, baby garlic, morels, asparagus, and baby carrots (the real ones, not the shitty cut-from-larger-carrots-in-the-factory ones you buy in the supermarket.).

With homemade tagliatelle (with extra egg yolk for extra deliciousness).

Yogurt mixed with bran cereal for breakfast.
Roast beef and swiss on wheat bread for lunch (with baby spinach instead of lettuce - yum!). Side of pretzels.

It's my turn to make dinner tonight, and I never decide until the last minute. There's pork ribs and chicken at home, so it'll be one of those.

msali - I feel that way all the time. I keep granola bars on hand for that very reason - nutritional, no cooking involved, and pretty easy to eat. I also find that I feel that way more when I'm parched, so I take it as a cue to drink lots of water.

Leftover home made tom yum soup, and half a tangerine.

Nifty turkey club from the hippie bakery. Smoked turkey on wheat, nice bacon, cheddar cheese slice, and what made it great was a topping of caramelized onion instead of mayo. Yum!

Lunch is (a late lunch) homemade, toss-everything-in soup. It has potatoes, carrots, corn, peas, seaweed, shiitake mushrooms, cilantro, basil, parsley and shallots. Mmmmm. Low-cal and comfort food.

Makes up for all the super high calories (but yummy) food I ate with all my guests this week (mainly seafood and kobe burgers).

Specklet - if you come back to this thread, I'd love the recipe for your pasta sauce!!
posted by Sil 14 April | 15:39
Mmmm. Lunch was really fantastic. Spaghetti with steamed asparagus from my friend's garden, butter, cracked black pepper and loads of romano cheese. I think I'm going to do a repeat for dinner.
posted by Stewriffic 14 April | 15:47
Sil, I can't remember exactly what I did. I think it was a sploosh of cream, and handful of parmesan, a bunch of fresh-ground black pepper, a little salt, a dash of cayenne, a clove of pressed garlic, a handful of chopped roasted red peppers, all heated until just simmering, then poured over farfalle pasta.

A chicken fajita and some pineapple.

Had lunch at a favorite restaurant with friends this afternoon. Oysters, shrimp cocktail and Lobster Bolognese.

That works with me, I'll play with it and see what I come up with, thank you!
posted by Sil 14 April | 17:22
dinner: pasta with an experimental sauce of butter and olive oil, garlic, green onion, chopped tomato, mushrooms, black olives, bell peppers, salad shrimp, a ton of chopped spinach, and a spritz of lemon juice

Can you tell I'm craving vegetables?

What a menu, mrmoonpie! Looks awesome.

w/r/t Entennmann's -- in high school Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies were a favorite indulgence. I could write paragraphs about the subtlety of the light buttery crumb around the edges giving way to the chewy, dense center studded with small explosive chunks of bittersweet chocolate.

Recently, during a low moment, I grabbed a box at the drugstore and took it home expecting that same delicious. BUt....they've changed! They totally don't taste the same. A, they're smaller. B, they're sweeter, and not in a good way - inspidly sweet. C, I couldn't detect that sharp edge of salt that used to set off the chocolate so well. And D, the chocolate itself seemed fattier - more cocoa-buttery - and less flavorful.

I felt sad. Another thing that's changed a lot since my childhood. If I'd been eating them right along I might not have noticed, but I had the original taste firmly fixed in my memory, and the sudden comparison with the new version was decidedly not it.

That is the best way to have chili. Fritos totally make it. I also like to have it over white rice, and I throw some jalepeno slices and a blob of sour cream on top if going all the way.
