What Did You Eat Today ?
Re: What Did You Eat Today ?
Today, sausages with herby garlicky polenta, an onion gravy, and mixed steam veg. With a glass of very nice Valpolicella.
Followed by coffee with an oat biscuit.

This week I will be mostly eating cake.
Re: What Did You Eat Today ?
For dinner I made μπουγιουρντί. In a clay casserole pot you place layers of onion (sliced in rings), diced green pepper and chilli, slices of tomato, and top it with lots of crumbled feta and cubes of yellow cheese. This is spiced with oregano, cumin, fenugreek and black pepper, drizzled with olive oil and baked in the oven.
I ate it with bread made from locally grown barley.

Re: What Did You Eat Today ?
On the menu for dinner tonight: seitan and vegetarian pho.
Discovering seitan was just about the only good thing to come out of 2017 for me lol.
Also slowly working my way through the Thug Cookbook series. It's has been a real lifesaver for someone looking to go from vegetarian to vegan someday. As others can attest, 9 out of 10 of vegan recipes have bizarro expensive ingredients I'll never use again or are simply gross.

Re: What Did You Eat Today ?
Grigoris, that sounds delicious.
Last night I had a little bit of baked brie with apricot preserves on bread (appetizer), then a main course of mushroom and cream pasta, sautéed green beans, salad and then chocolate mousse for dessert.
The food was good, but the best part was the company. I was at an event for our small town symphony, which included a wild polka dancing lesson by a Harvard professor of ethnomusicology who specializes in Nordic folk dancing and the intersection of dance and sexual orientation (something like that). And I was seated next to a philosophy professor and a truck stop mogul, among other fascinating individuals.

Best: on buttered toast, sparingly spread
Good: with cheese in a cheese sandwich, also dabbed on top of peanut butter on crackers or celery
Okay: with hot water in a mug - sort of broth, can also be used in cooking (sparingly) to replace stock
My personal favourite: marmite and marmalade on the same piece of toast - sweet, bitter, salty, savoury all at once
Maybe get some ideas here: https://www.marmite.co.uk/category/recipes though most of these try to complicate things too much. If you want a hit of salty, savoury goodness then you can use marmite
The antidote—to be free from the suffering of samsara—you need to be free from delusion and karma; you need to be free from ignorance, the root of samsara. So you need to meditate on emptiness. That is what you need. Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Re: What Did You Eat Today ?
Dinner:
Moroccan-style tagine of chick-peas, sausage and red onion, with multigrain bread rolls instead of the traditional flat bread. Spanish-style chorizo, for that matter.
Not my turn to cook, and dinner is always "cook's choice" here, but good Aussie tucker to finish off the Australia Day weekend.

Maybe.
Old-fashioned. Supposedly to build up the strength of invalids. When I was a kid it worked pretty well as an anti-malingerant (new word - work it out! )Okay: with hot water in a mug - sort of broth,

Definitely a personal favourite.
Vegemite and honey, on the other hand, is surprisingly good.
If you wanted to be more Australian, try vegemite and golden syrup.

Very sensible and straightforward, not many exotic ingredients, and the food tastes fine. Our copy is decades old and still in regular use.

I did say "surprisingly" and I meant it. Everyone else gives it the treatment too, but don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

Re: What Did You Eat Today ?
Ate out today at a little French place we are fond of in London's Pimlico.
Me, moules marinier and then steak frite with bearnaise sauce.
Madam, rillette de saumon followed by gigot of lamb with haricot beans.

Mock cheese souffle, brussel sprouts, fried wild mushrooms with caramelised onions, beetroot salad with Greek yogurt and walnuts.
For dessert it was a chocolate praline sponge cake and a cream and preserved fruit chocolate covered sponge roll.
Had the parents over for dinner today, so my wife and my my mother cooked!

Does cellulose count? J.k.
H2O, starches, sugars, a number of types of oils, fats, and soluble terpenoids, and flavonoids. (Coffee.)
A chocolate bar for breakfast.
If I could eat like a king every day, my diet would be something like this:
Breakfast:
Homemade espresso + Eggs / Toast / Bacon
Lunch:
Sushi (Cali Rolls, Unagi Rolls, A special roll (Usually with shrimp tempura, unagi, avocado, Pineapple + Eel sauce on top. (then fried!)
Dinner:
Butter Chicken + Nan, and Rice, and a side of Samosa Chaat.
Dessert:
Machador Ladoos, Tiramisu, Fresh made potatoe donuts, Chocolate Lava cake.
...I'm really hungry now.

A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.
