Whats on your plate?

[SolRaven]

Just had skirt steak from the grill and finishing it off w/ a Guinness.

I don't usually get skirt steak but I think I may start eating this cut more often.

Red velvet chocolate cake was made with beet juice to make it red and to make it moist but now I think it's just food coloring and then something else to make it moist.

Good - strange (to some) vegetable stuff.
(Done right, all of these can be deadly to a diet.)

Carrot cake


Zucchini bread (with poppy seeds)


Tomato jam


Rhubarb pie


Rhubarb is the one thing that you may not be familiar with. Living in northern Florida I used to drive by Rhubarb (and Okra) growing on the roadside as “weeds”.


PS - DO NOT eat rhubarb leaves. Although it'll take about 11 lbs -5 kg of leaves to kill you, a lesser amount can make you sick. But don't get scared, Rhubarb pie uses no leaves.

"One little thing can revive a guy,
And that is a piece of rhubarb pie.
Serve it up, nice and hot.
Maybe things aren't as bad as you thought.
Momma's little baby loves rhubarb, rhubarb,
Be-Bop-A-Re-Bop Rhubarb Pie"


“Yes, nothing gets the taste of shame and humiliation out of your mouth quite like Be-Bop-A-Re-Bop Rhubarb Pie.”

We do also cakes that have a salty flavor rather than sweet, or a mix of sweet and salty, and we put all sort of good things in it. Like cheese, creamy and sort of puffy. than you put strawberries on top and you get NY cheese cake, or something else inside and ... there you are.

Like the famous Tourtiere. It is an apple pie but instead of the apples you put minced meast cooked with spices, and pass it in the oven. Good, so good

ahh. I should have made it clearer. What I meant was, 'I'm okay with all types of ingredients but vegetable, apart from tea leaves.'
Cheese is terrific.
Fruits are wonderful.
Salty things like ground meat or sausage are okay too.
Special herbs like mints or the leaves that smell good are okay.


But ordinary vegetable used in meals like spinach or cabbage is somewhat I can't understand.

It will be my pleasure to make you change your idea. I will try everything short of sending you samples. It will take some organization, but I am sure I will convince you.

this just before being ready, still in the pot.
It is snappers, frozen fillets actually. the olives are easy to recognize and date tomatoes splitted along. Garlic and thyme, i just bought a vwse of it and wanted to try it. Fryed in clarified butter, added tomatoes and olives, dash of salt. stirred. a dash of white wine. All in all no more than 10 minutes, from raw ingredients. Turbo cooking. The best for me. It keeps texture and colors. Like it would be stir and fry.

Went on the table with a potato salad and nuts bread. She finished the bottle of Italian Tokay. If I did not have the potato salad I would have steamed a cauliflower, for color contrast.

The thyme is great. Overall the fish is around 300 gr.
Actually the thyme is excellent. I still feel it around the mouth.

well, i had duck and seared tuna with rice for dinner o:

[SolRaven]

I don't even know what to call this, but it's something I figured out when I wanted Indian food. It's stir fried chicken, with onions, garlic, cumin & crushed red pepper. Then I add spinach. For the creamy version I add yogurt or sour cream over yellow rice. It's really good, but if it has a real name, I don't know what it is.

Chicken pan fried noodles, or at least that's what the local chinese place calls it. Chicken and lots of veggies over skinny noodles in brown sauce, with an eggroll. YUM.

That sounds good right now! I think I'll find something noodly to eat later on. My appetite has returned today. That's a good thing!
