What Are You Eating/Drinking?, The Tastiest Thread Around Options

[Uleni Athram]

You'd be surprised how common that variation is. Its a combination of two foods, to be honest. Leche Flan and Puto Maya. They're frickin' delish, totes. And I will now kill myself for using those ridiculous words.

Well, I'm def going to try the Uleni cuisine first!


Okay, I've got the right vid for it now:

There we go! And the voice... The voice of the narrator! A sweet delight all in itself!

[mALX]

This sounds (and looks) delicious!

I love flan anyway, and the cake mixture here is the same one we use in our blackberry and apple cobblers, so this is the one I want to make.

(and yes, she had a beautiful voice!)

Holdupholdupholdup...you're Spanish/Hispanic, speak English fluently, and live in Japan.



Damn, son.

Actually, no. I'm a Filipino with just a little hint of Spanish, Chinese and German blood running through my veins. And possibly roots to a minor noble in far away Scotland, too? Seriously, its all a little confusing and a tad bit questionable, even to me, so I just say I'm a Feely Pin Oh! to spare everyone a Hobbit-like discussion on genealogies

We might be related, I have a pint of Royal Scotch in me too!

If we're talking about what I am eating 'at this moment' the answer is . . . nothing. Around the turn of the millennium I made it a policy to never eat at the keyboard with two exceptions:

. . . Breakfast, which invariably consists of a banana, wheat toast smeared with sugar free preserves/jelly and butter substitute, and a large grass of skim milk, along with a multi vitamin, a few herbal supplements and my morning migraine preventative dosage.

. . . A mid evening small grass of skim milk, sometimes accompanied by cinnamon toast.

As much time as I spend at the computer, were I to associate computing with snacking I would be a blimp within months.

My diet is for the most part dreadfully plain, predictable and boring. Five to six days a week I have sane canned soups for lunch and lettuce based salads with lots of veggies, a sprinkle of raisins, some tuna, and dressing for supper. Fresh fruit . . . normally an apple or peach depending on which is cheaper any given week . . . serves as dessert. Water is my drink of choice for lunch and supper.

Those days I don't eat soup and salad I generally grab a Subway sandwich on the way home from an appointment or errand. (I had Black Forest Ham on wheat just yesterday, following an ENT appointment.) Once in blue moon I eat a true splurge meal at a local Chinese Buffet. Best I can recall it's been a good three months since I last did so. Thanksgiving and Christmas day I dine with my brother at a local conventional American food buffet.

I haven't eaten conventional dessert / snack foods in ten years, and doubt I've drunk more than two gallons of alcohol in my entire life, most recently circa 1990.

Reading the above, bear in mind that I'm an old fart with a number of health issues. Back in the day I was a avid diner out who rarely ate at home. I'd eat at an Italian restaurant one day, a Chinese restaurant the next, Mexican after that and so on. I don't have the budget for that sort of thing any more, and am far more health conscious from necessity.

This sounds very much like the diet I have very recently been restricted to again; or at least it sounds like it would fit right in with what I am allowed now. Caffiene and salt have not been allowed since 2013; but I got out of the habit of following that diet and have recently been re-reminded that I had better get back to following it.

So now I am logging your diet and going to try to take some tips and hints from this, it sounds like you have found the best way to eat within the restrictions and find the most flavorful alternatives to the cardboard the doctors have advised, lol.

Bon Appetit!

Coffee and pumpkin pie.

Coffee and pumpkin pie.

Me too!

One of the three most important pie meals of the day after.

Pepsi and pizza for me.

The true American holiday meal!

That's right 'Merica FTW!

[Acadian]

Pizza counts as pie, doesn't it?

[mALX]

That's right 'Merica FTW!

Wait, this thread is what are you eating/drinking; and your answer is "Americans?" ... Where do I sign up? (and which flavor do you prefer?)

Another great American pie meal!

I weighed myself with some hesitation just prior to showering this morning, it being so soon after Turkey Day. To my surprise, not only had I not put on any weight but had actually dropped two pounds since my last weigh-in! I'm elevenish pounds above what I'd like to be . . . and maybe seven or eight more over what I consider ideal . . . but what I'm at now ain't bad. Not bad at all. I am well within limits, and in reality would be met with incredulity by my doc should I suggest that I need to lose weight. Realistically, I can't see myself shedding more than an additional pound or two, if that, without resuming an exercise routine that is beyond what my health currently permits.

Alas, Walmart was out of Healthy Request Cream of Chicken soup today. I substituted Healthy Request Cream of Celery, which became lunch. I crumbled in two slices of 100% whole grain wheat bread (it carries a Heart Healthy label, for what that's worth), added dashes of black pepper, garlic powder and paprika, and topped it off with a splash of Frank's Hot Sauce. Not one of my favorite soups by a long-shot, but after a few bites I grew to accept it. Half a Fuji apple for dessert, despite an uncomfortable price increase.

Supper, which I'll prepare after posting this, will be my usual lettuce salad with various veggies, shrooms, raisins, tuna, and an as yet undecided dressing. Half a Fuji apple for dessert. Oh yeah, water to drink.

As the holiday meals approach I’ve been freeing up fridge and pantry space by cooking whatever odds and ends are hanging around. Yesterday I made what might best be described as cooked celery with carrot mush over orzo, but since I was the only one home for lunch there were leftovers.

I got the leftovers out for myself today and then stepped into the next room to do something. I heard my son come downstairs and go into the kitchen looking for breakfast, though we couldn’t see each other due to walls in between. He must have seen my celery and carrot dish sitting out, because he said (presumably to himself), “What is this [censored]? I hope she’s not trying to feed me this [censored].”

So I’m having “this [censored],” he’s having pizza and donuts, and we’re all having barbeque with slaw and beans for dinner.
