Whatcha Eatin'?

[Torey]

and here I was hoping you'd say vegemite on hot buttered toast. :)

Haha does the fact that I put Vegemite in my soup count then? :p

[Shahaku]

Mmm food. The hubby needs to wake up so we can get some. I'm feeling like a taco bell breakfast burrito myself.

[Heka]

and here I was hoping you'd say vegemite on hot buttered toast. :)

Now I want that.

[Hippie at Heart]

Pretzels. I was craving salt.

[Medusa]

I'm on a poor girl's diet. I ate chorizo con papas burritos. But I added sweet kernel corn. There is nothing like biting into something smushy and spicy and having that sweet pop of corn in your mouth. I'm in heaven!

[Munin-Hugin]

I made soup. Grilled chicken with tri-colored tortellini, corn, red and green bell peppers, and black beans, in a sweet and spicy chipotle broth.

[Carlin]

Too much. I'm going to be awfully sorry tomorrow...

[Arella]

Dark chocolate coconut milk ice cream. Yum! (I might be bad and have a little of the cappuccino variety after. :devil:)

We ordered out Indonesian tonight. I wasnt even hungry, but I ate so much foooodz.... mmmm Gado-gado.....

And the chef thought I was Malaysian haha, cos of my accent when I spoke Indonesian, I'm pretty impressed I can be mistaken for a native (malay) speaker!!!

[Medusa]

peanut butter and tripple berry jam sammy. And a Diet Dr Pepper.

[gudrun]

Tonight was last night's offering...crock pot beans, which contains four different types of beans and ground turkey. Sort of like chili.

- - - Updated - - -

Oh, with obscenely hot chili peppers from the garden...what is left of it, anyway.

[Carlin]

I'm about to make a stir-fry and have it with falafels. :)

[Medusa]

Half a tamale pie because it said I could put it in the toaster over WITH the plastic wrap in the plastic container. But they lied. And it melted. And so I only ate a bit less then half. And some beans I got out of a can that sorta sucked but I ate them anyways. Because it's like midnight and I ain't about to go all The Gourmet Chef at this time of night. So now I'm eating sugar free chocolate pudding.

This was my birthday dinner. It sucked.

[Munin-Hugin]

Not eating right at this moment, but I have some thin slices of pork in the oven slow cooking in a mixture of mesquite seasoning, garlic, black pepper, horseradish mustard, teriyaki sauce, onions, cumin, and chili powder.

[Medusa]

So I'm off vacation. So it's back to eating home cooked meals. Being that I'm poor...I got stuff for spaghetti! All week. Well that and some other dinner options. But pretty much I'm eating spaghetti for the next 3 days because I'm working 11 hours days. So it's easier that it's all ready. Just heat and eat. But I did splurge. I got a container of freshly shredded Parmesan cheese. OMG. This makes my pasta AMAZING!

[thalassa]

I made couscous with spinach.

Also, I put the soup I made last week through the blender with an avacado, and mmmmm...creamy gazpacho-like soup (ya know, except that its not raw)

[Carlin]

Veggies in sun-dried tomato sauce and a banana/cocoa/peanut butter pudding. :)

Cold rainy day, so I made gumbo. :)

No pun intended...




We are actually going to dinner Saturday....AND...the toll thing is figured out, it just needs to be implemented, which will take about 2-3 weeks. But hopefully, by January 1, all our bills will be paid off (including credit cards), with the exception of utilities and one car. The gov't has a 401K type deal that isn't a 401K, and you can take a personal loan from it and pay yourself back with 2.something or other % interest (. So...I can use my own money to pay my bills and then pay myself back... seems better than continuing to pay bills accruing interest.

[Hawkfeathers]

I got an unexpected package in the mail - my aunt sent me BAGELS FROM JERSEY!!!! I'm in heaven and fat city!

[Medusa]

Cheese wienees and home made potato salad with tajin. Mind you I made the potato salad from 1 potato and 2 eggs, olives and mayo. I've had 1/4 maybe of the potato salad and I feel like I'm about to explode! Good night.

[Munin-Hugin]

I've had a cornucopia of great food recently. From "one pot pizza pasta", to sushi to steak to quesadillas to beef stew to ... You get the point :)

I'm addicted to marmite on rice crackers these days. I could eat them for every meal. I won't, but I so could... Not sure all the salt in marmite would do me many favours though.

[Heka]

Nachos. As a helpful tip, don't be a cheapass and buy Velveeta instead of proper nacho cheese. It's tolerable, but not great.

And for dessert? *Drool* Bumbleberry cobbler. It's a new recipe I found. I've only tasted the cake-like batter right now, but that in itself was amazing! It's super easy to make, too (a definite plus). If anyone is interested, the link for the recipe is:

Odd, I know, but it tastes really good and it's cheap, even if it's not real healthy :)

Atkins Crustless Chicken Pot Pie. Actually pretty good, and it is low in carbs, but it's WAY loaded with salt and cholesterol. Atkins stuff won't become a regular part of my diet.

I made a pouch out of aluminum foil and filled it with cubed potato pieces, onions, spinach, mini pepper pieces, and topped it with nacho cheese and paprika. Cooked at 450 for an hour and ate; it was delicious :)

Not much other than onion bhajis today... not terribly healthy!

Hot spicy chili w/red beans & rice.

Maybe a bit different,no gravy.

Went to a diner that's been here in Bethesda since the 30's...we generally have dinner there when we visit the NIH for this study we are doing... I had their beef tips with noodles and steamed broccoli and carrot cake. Anyhow...so excited because tomorrow is chicken and dumplings for the special!!!

[anunitu]

Glad to hear you guys are having a bit of an adventure,getting out and about..

[Falhalterra]

Just ate one Snowball (snack cake) and a southwest wrap from Walmart with Sriracha sauce slathered on it.

I eat weird things in the morning. >.>

[Denarius]

Cooked a burrito in the oven a bit too long, so I had to soak it in some hot sauce for a little bit then I threw some sour cream and refried beans on top to balance out the added spice.

Too bad I didn't have any guacamole or spanish rice, but it turned out well I'd say.

http://s29.postimg.org/f5uq311ef/IMG_0184.jpg

Sounds good,I like burritos like that myself with sour cream and Guacamole..Spanish rice sounds good as a side.

Baked potato slices!
It works out to be about 280 calories, so it's healthier than it seems :)

[anunitu]

Backed,not fried...hmmm. Looks as good as fried...and catchup...yummm

[Hawkfeathers]

I make eggplant slices like that - baked with tomato sauce & mozzarella on top. It's like eggplant parm without the oil. One of my Facebook friends from back home in Jersey is posting pics of real pizza and it's killing me. LOL

[SleepingCompass]

I actually like it better than fried! :)
Fried tastes delicious while you're eating it, but afterwards, my stomach always feels yucky and heavy...
This just sort of fries the outside a little bit and leaves the inside potato like; I love it!

Here's the basic recipe I use (http://www.superhealthykids.com/super-crispy-homemade-french-fries/), if anyone's interested.

Oh! That sounds delicious too...

[Hawkfeathers]

That looks good, and I agree about fried foods. "Real" eggplant parm is made with olive oil, which is better than others, but eggplant is like a sponge, and you use a ridiculous amount of oil! I've made it in a casserole dish with little to no oil and it comes out just fine - you bread the eggplant slices, bake them, layer with ricotta & tomato sauce & mozzarella , top with parmesan, and bake until the cheese is ready. You just use oil to grease the pan!

[anunitu]

I have had the battered,fried egg plant before...never thought it could be baked...making me think here.

[Hawkfeathers]

Google "baked eggplant parm" - there are lots of recipies, all pretty similar - make to your own taste! The marinara sauce recipe I use is:
2 teasp. Olive oil
1 shallot, diced
1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
1/4 teasp. (or to taste) crushed red pepper flakes
a couple pinches of salt
2 heaping tablespoons each of finely chopped fresh basil and parsley

In medium pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add shallots, saute a few minutes until translucent. Add tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir, reduce heat, lightly bubble for 8-10 minutes, turn off heat, stir in herbs.

A lovely cup of miso soup that I made myself. I always have it this time in the morning because I need the iodine (seems to improve my thyroid activity: hooray for not being cold all the time!!). But I only recently started making my own instead of using the instant stuff. It works out cheaper and is so much nicer..

[B. de Corbin]

Smokey chicken soup, again - smoked a chicken Sunday, and consumed the leftovers today.

I almost like the soup more than the chicken.

Almost.

[Jembru]

Natto!! Bloomin' love the stuff. I got me a few stacks when I was in Newcastle last week..

JP doesn't like the smell or appearance of it, so I bring it to work to eat in peace without someone grimacing like I'm chewing on raw road kill.

See, that's a good lookin' slice of pizza. Wicked thin, small crust, a good sized piece, just enough spices and cheese on it ... Of course, I'm slightly biased and I've not really found very many good pizzas outside of the Connecticut/New York area. Even going a little north to Massachusetts, they can't seem to be able to get it right either. They had done a study/taste test and have discovered that the main ingredient that sets various regional pizzas apart isn't the cheese, or the toppings, or the spices. It's actually the WATER used to making the dough! They took the EXACT same ingredients but then used water from different parts of the country, then set out the pies for blind tasting. Folks from whatever area the water came from were able to pick out which slice came from their hometown H2O!

Now as for me and food for today, I dunno. Probably going to be leftovers, lime salt seasoned tortilla chips, and some iced red tea I just finished brewing.

[Munin-Hugin]

Change in dinner plans. Pasta and broccoli in a homemade cheese sauce with a pretty decent blush wine. I know, I should be drinking white with a cheese sauce, but I don't have one. I'm such a rebel.

I have to fast for 12 hours. Blood work tomorrow. Of course I'm no longer caring to be honest. I mean the fasting is just to see what my fasting number is. Regardless of what I eat, the A1C test is for the last 3 months. So it's really hard to fast when you have to work and ride a bike home.

I'm eating a plate of raspberries, green olives and some walnuts with a Diet coke. This stuff is good!

Just had such a nice lunch at work. Nothing special, or particularly different, but for some reason I really enjoyed it. It was spinach, plumb tomatoes, cucumber, chicpeas (slightly undercooked, because I'm lazy), and pasta. Little bit of mayo and black pepper. I don't usually use mayo, but there's no pesto left at work, and I didn't want to eat it dry. I guess I'll have to start having mayo a bit more often then!

I've been playing with IF (intermittent fasting) for the last couple of days. I always wake up starving, eat breakfast, and then I feel hungry again by 10am. And then eat lunch, and then a snack, and then dinner, and well...that's a lot of food.

So I have been playing with a 16-8 IF window. And so far...I'm actually only hungry in the morning for like 10 minutes when I first wake up, and then I'm fine until 11-12. And it makes lunch taste GREAT. Like the best thing ever. And I've been able to keep my calorie goals this way (aka no mindless snacking anymore).

So what did I have for breakfast? Nothing. And it's fantastic. (but I had blackened pickerel, homemade fries, coleslaw, and long island ice teas for dinner, and that was fantastic too!)

[DanieMarie]

Gooseberries. My plants seem to have ripened since this morning, so I'll be eating a lot of them for the next week or so. I don't know why more people don't plant these....they taste great and they produce a tonnnneee of fruit.

You'd die of starvation in Japan then. Their food always looks amazing, but boy does it smell...

Then again, they say we westerners smell of sour milk, so what do we know about what smells good?

[anubisa]

Just had red grapes. Love having some at night.

[kalynraye]

So the last three days have been heaven for me!!! KP has been off work for over a week and has another week of vacation to go which means hes bored out of his mind and has been making me dinner, which normally only happens once every couple of months. So first night was a play on gyros on fresh tortillas cause hey who doesn't love fresh tortillas??? Yesterday I had home made rubens, and instead of sauerkraut we had sauteed cabbage and bacon with homemade dressing. I only had to toast the bread while he assembled. And this evening it was a tortellini chicken soup. With plenty of left over chicken to make quesadillas the next few days with our extra tortillas.

I'm gonna hate it when he goes back to work.

[Willow]

Toast and an avocado/tomato salad.

[LearningMan]

Eating some challah.

[Willow]

Tea counts as food....

I haven't been feeling great these past few weeks (just nerves I think) and I think it's taking a toll on my health a little bit. So liquid-centric today. :P Tea now, soup later.

[B. de Corbin]

Vegetable lasagna...

No noodles, just veg.

All the stress I've been under lately, I've barely been able to eat more than white rice myself. However, good thing I actually like it

[kalynraye]

Can I just say I probably had the best darn cheese dumplings I have ever had???? Think chicken and dumplings but no chicken and filled with goat cheese in a sweet corn broth. Good lord I will be on a mission to replicate it.

I'd love some for dinner tomorrow do you think you could run me down some.

[Medusa]

This should be in the confession thread to be honest. As a Mexican I aint gonna lie. I love me some Taco Bell. A bean and cheese burrito with like 5 mild sauces. An order of nachos and 4 orders of jalapenos. The jalapenos there are those movie theater nacho style. Sorta sweet to be honest. I can eat them like pickles!

I'm probably going to have a tummy issue in a bit...nah..I got Zantac for that! YAY doctor!:D

[thalassa]

I am making whole wheat perogies with mashed califlower and potatoes for dinner tonight, with spinach-tomato-basil-mozarella stuffed chicken breast, edamame, and corn on the cob.

Wow. That's a total international cluster of food. Though, they're not REAL pierogies unless they're made with a potato dough.

[Medusa]

pizza!
With a side of liquor market pickle.
And a side of Zantac.

Hardboiled egg. I'm back to trying to lose weight, so I'm trying to eat a lot of protein. ...ignore the fact that I ate puffy cheese curls last night.

[Luna]

Tacos and for dessert self picked blueberries and strawberries with cream and sugar mmmm.

Today I decided to risk my life and kidneys by eating lobster mushrooms...


It has a color similar to cooked lobster meat or lobster shell and can have a seafood-like aroma when cooking. It is actually an example of a mold attacking a mushroom. Hypomyces lactifluorum attacks and parasitizes Lactarius piperatus or Russula brevipes and covers the entire fruit body with an orange skin. Lactarius piperatus has a peppery flavor that is improved by Hypomyces. Russula, which is very crumbly, becomes dense and less breakable. (http://mushroom-collecting.com/mushroomlobster.html)

The danger is that there has been some speculation that the mold could infest mushrooms of the dangerous Amanita variety. Since the mold also distorts the shape of the mushrooms, positive identification of the host mushroom is problematic.

However, Aminitas are not currently in season, but Lactarious are all over, so, using due care, I am partaking...

If I'm wrong, give me three days till emergency room time.

But they are delicious! Sautéed in butter, a sprinkle of salt, and a liberal squeeze of lemon.

Blueberries.

I've been in a fruit, veg and homemade bread mode for awhile now.

I'm not sure if that would be more disgusting, honestly.

Eating the same thing today. I'm getting used to it.

[Munin-Hugin]

Not currently, but earlier today. My wife and I went to a local fish market that has a little counter and a deep fryer where you can get fresh cooked, fresh fish. We made massive pigs out of ourselves with fried oysters, scallops, and a soft shelled crab, as well as generous portions of chips and New England clam chowder. Everything was sooo good. On the way home we stopped to get frozen yogurt.

Ditilini with chicken broth and turkey breast. Sort of soup, but not quite.

Salisbury steak. The Encore "Family Meal" is just disappointing. I won't be buying it again.

Pre-made Salisbury steak is something best destroyed at the earliest opportunity. It isn't food, it's a tool of torment.

Banquet brand is okay. I've never made it myself. I should just do that sometime.

Family size in itself is a joke. Unless of course, the "family" they mean is just me. I don't mind it so much every once in a while. Grab a loaf of bread, the entire family size package, and that's good for one meal.

[Medusa]

Banquet brand is okay. I've never made it myself. I should just do that sometime.

My brother used to eat these every day. Along with those Hungry-Man tv dinners. I'll admit it. I loved them!

[faye_cat]

I love the hungry man dinners! Boneless chicken with mashed potatoes was my favorite. So good.

I just ate reheated fried grilled cheese.

[Munin-Hugin]

Tonight was a mix of stuff. Crabcake sandwiches, hot dogs, and a chef salad.

Chocolate covered fortune cookie.

The fortune fails, but the cookie is good.

My husband loves loves loves banquet Salisbury steaks. Thats actually what we had for dinner tonight with mashed potatoes. Yes I am a fine dinning chef but after a 10 hour day I want quick and easy.

[volcaniclastic]

Forgot to eat today. Just crammed gnocchi, pesto, tuna and toast into my mouth. I want to eat a whole other bowl, but it's 11pm.

Thats KP's thing too. He spent his summers with his Dad and that was something they ate for dinner on a regular basis.

It's late and I just got home and it's hot. But not hot as hell, thankfully. So it's toasted peanut butter and boysenberry jam! With a side of white cheddar popcorn I found on sale at Walmart.

Cream puffs later.

Don't judge, I can stand to gain 40 pounds.

We went to a place today my folks have been raving about for years, but I never got around to it. So today, before my wife had to head back to Canada, they took us there. She had lobster ravioli, topped with shrimp, lobster meat, mussels, and scallops, and the whole thing was sauced with a shrimp bisque. I had rock shrimp and sweet pea risotto, with medium rare grilled steak tips.

[Willow]

Salad. There's some crab in the fridge I'm kind of interested in, but that may wait until tomorrow.

[habbalah]

Pretzel pizza from Little Caesars. I'm going to regret it when I weigh myself tomorrow.

Drinking watermelon juice!

[anunitu]

In the way back when I was a kid,there was this ice cream plant near our neighborhood and once a guy there asked us to try a new ice cream..It was Watermelon flavor,and I am afraid it really did not go over well..but then they were not Ben and Jerry's..

[Shahaku]

I found cotton candy flavored grapes! (Well the hubby and gf found them when they were shopping last night. But still) YUM

Good idea, actually.
