QUOTE(Acadian @ Feb 21 2024, 04:52 PM) I thought that is already what you live on? Sadly not, I'm only roleplaying QUOTE(Renee @ Feb 21 2024, 05:13 PM) Last night I made a huge pot of food. Annie's Shells & White Cheddar (this is pasta) with fake ground beef scrambles, broccoli, mushrooms, and kale. Added a half-can of red pasta paste, which is something new. Overall result: it's similar to Beef-a-Roni, but a vegetarian version. Did not expect that! But was pretty delighted.
Think I could go for that, honestly. Don't mind the occasional veggie food This post has been edited by mirocu: Feb 21 2024, 05:17 PM

QUOTE(Renee @ Feb 20 2024, 04:22 PM) Palm wine, never heard of that.
I guess I'll start playing this game too. I'm not sure if I'm way out of the norm, here. Mostly I'm vegetarian, and I that often I eat some weird stuff. But also enjoy junk food too.
So this morning I just got to work. Large coffee + half & Half, croissant.
I learned about it from a book, The Palm-Wine Drinkard (and yes, that's how it's spelled) by Amos Tutuola. The gist of the story is that there's a guy who really likes palm wine, and there's a tapster who collects the palm sap and brews the wine for him. But the tapster dies. The protagonist then decides to go to Dead Town to retrieve the tapper's spirit, so that the tapper can keep making palm wine for him. Ever since I've been curious about the drink but I couldn't find it at any local grocery stores. But I finally lucked out at a restaurant this past weekend. Vegetarianism is good. I'm not a vegetarian, but these days I limit my beef/pork consumption. Get it at restaurants, sometimes, but not at the grocery store.

QUOTE(Renee @ Feb 23 2024, 02:55 AM) What do y'all do for dessert? Or do you skip that? I almost always have dessert! Usually some sort of ice cream or cereal like granola. Pastries, cake, sweet potato pie, I mean, the list goes on. I can get really BAD and decadent when it comes to dessert! Almost never, but I do enjoy an extravagant fika on Sunday mornings and yeah, imagination sets the limit

QUOTE(Renee @ Feb 23 2024, 02:55 AM) Yah, palm wine sounds super-rare. Amazing that you read about it and that it actually exists. Had leftover Chinese tonight. Veggie-tofu dish which I added broccoli to. 🥦 Chinese is fun because it's one of those dishes which can taste significantly different (sometimes better) as leftovers. What do y'all do for dessert? Or do you skip that? I almost always have dessert! Usually some sort of ice cream or cereal like granola. Pastries, cake, sweet potato pie, I mean, the list goes on. I can get really BAD and decadent when it comes to dessert! Palm wine's pretty common in tropical areas, but is apparently tough to transport because it turns to vinegar very quickly. There are ways to address that though demand still isn't very high in the States. I'm pretty lucky to have found any. The guy who served it to me and my friend said that it's best to drink palm wine from a gourd, but the restaurants used drinking glasses. Dessert's always been tricky for me. I've been a Type 1 diabetic since I was a toddler. These days I have an insulin pump which means I can mostly eat what I want though I've been cutting back on dessert as I get older. That said, I'm usually pretty content with something like a few scoops of ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Whoa... Mountain Dew + Crown Royal... WTC: that's good you're cutting back. I really haven't cut back sweets much as I get older because there are things even worse than sugar which I've cut back on, or eliminated altogether. My housemate & I got a pizza last night. Plain cheese, which is pretty decadent for me. 🍕 Even though I am vegetarian I don't like foo-foo pizzas, where there's what seems to be an entire salad on top of the crust. Plain cheese, some red sauce, maybe a topping or two, that's good. If I want a salad, that's what I'mma get. This post has been edited by Renee: Feb 24 2024, 12:10 PM

This has got Khajiit thinking about what other kinds of liquor might be good with Baja Blast. Tequila maybe? Vodka? I feel mushrooms and jalapeño might make for an adequate veggie pizza.

The journey from "dirty" vegan to "dirty" carnivore continues. My diet nowadays consists of beef steaks, Pork loins, bacon, salmon, butter, EVOO, eggs, and salt, though I continue to consume modest amounts of mushrooms, garlic, and sauerkraut (which I detest, but purportedly contains pre- and pro-biotics to combat side-effects of the antibiotics I periodically need to take).
My biggest health gain that can definitely be attributed to the changes is a lack of migraines. I've had none in the past seven months, a first since I started getting them in 1981. At the same time, I now take only one 20mg preventative dose a day, down from two 40mg doses a day. (At one time it was two 60s a day, and I still suffered periodic attacks.) In another few months, if all goes well, I'll press my luck and attempt one 20mg preventative dose every other day. At today's neurology appointment, I told my doc that there is no point in ordering me any more breakthrough-ending medicine since I've a small stockpile on hand that might last me years if not forever.
Brain fog was noticeably reduced up until last month's nearly week-long hospital stay, due to my suddenly coughing up wads of yummy blood. Was on IV-administered antibiotics of various sorts the entire time. Was not allowed to eat or drink up until the final day. (A blessing, considering what hospital food tastes like, and its "nutritive" value.
Oh yeah, my liquid diet remains as it's been for the past year, whole milk and water.
A major downside . . . meat is bloody expensive! Grocery bills have skyrocketed.
(Today's lunch will be a Pork Loin Chop and three scrambled eggs, the latter with diced mushroom pieces, garlic, butter, a little milk and a little EVOO. Spring water to drink.)

It was though the house smelled of cook asparagus all night long.

QUOTE(Dark Reaper @ Apr 21 2024, 07:51 PM) Just had some fried asparagus, little garlic, little butter and seasonings. Good eats!!!
I'll have some, too. Sometimes my entire dinner consists of soy beans + veggies doused in Bragg's Liquid Aminos (tastes like soy sauce amped). Ritz or Town House crackers on the side. Last night we had Chinese. Again. I love Chinese food, the variety of it.. I had a tofu + rice dish while my housemate had orange chicken. Decrepit: I don't get migraines but a friend of mine does. They're horrible.
