What Are You Eating Today?

Tonight it shall be hamburgers. Unfortunately my avocados are not ripe. And I have no bacon.

My brother found out I had no bacon at one stage, and posted on Facebook about the tragedy. He posted about how I was this poor hardworking caring teacher who has been hit by this immense tragedy of no bacon. He was asking for help from his mates, sort of s GoFundMe thing….

I was touched at first …… till the bacon didn’t come through.

Yesterday was not a good day, long day of not feeling great, Tiger back at the vet….so, we pinked up Macca‘s. We haven’t had Macca’s for a very long time… and it was welcome.

Had to google that one! Their eats are addictive. I call that recreational eating.

Into every life some rain must fall.
But that sucks!

I know, my brother is a lovely man, but he could have delivered the bacon himself!

Mrs. Moogly talked me into trying chia seeds. Mix two rounded tablespoons of chia seeds into 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk. Add a dash of cinnamon. Let sit for about ten minutes then mix again and refrigerate. Pretty tasty. Comes out like a pudding because the seeds gel. I topped with homemade blackberry sauce. Again, not too bad.

Ravioli. Lazy man cooking. Frozen raviolis, some spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese, microwave 3 minutes.

Buffalo wings baked in low sodium soy sauce and brown rice. Scoop up a spoon or two of the chicken fat laden soy sauce to put on the rice. Good stuff.

I bought a new arrabbiata sauce today, DeMassimo's. They talk a good game. "Handed down over generations" and all that. I'll report back my findings.

Made some sweet potato soup. Sweet potatoes, onion, chicken broth, half & half, ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, and paprika.

I have some regrets. I wish I had waited until I had some fresh sweet potatoes but I was so determined to have sweet potato soup tonight that I used canned sweet potatoes (no sugar). Not quite enough so added some frozen sweet potato tots. It turned out great, but would be better with raw potatoes.

Too much ginger. I love ginger and I let my heart do the cooking instead of my brain.

I also regret the onion. I had a nice yellow onion to use, but I didn't feel like chopping it, so I used my chopped sweet onion that I cut up for salads. The pieces were for salad and I wish I had given them a few more chops but didn't think of it. I like diced onions in my soup unless it's beef stew, in which case I like giant chunks.

Lastly, I regret not having a submersion blender. I don't have a regular blender, either. The soup is only for me so leaving it chunky is not a big deal. Note to self to buy a blender, though.

Not much to look at, but so good. I could have added peanuts and peanut butter to make African Peanut Soup.

We dined at Palette Restaurant last night, at the HOTA gallery. It's a fair bit more expensive than our usual choices, but we don't eat out often, and so we decided to splurge. It's the kind of place where the waiter describes your food to you in exquisite detail when they present it to you. However, being on the Gold Coast, it doesn't manage to achieve the stuffy and snobbish feeling that top end restaurants in the capital cities achieve; The staff are friendly and happy to chat, and the atmosphere is relaxed at the same time as being seriously posh.

My starter was the Chef's special, a Wagyu Beef tartare, torched and rolled in sesame seeds. It was (by quite a margin) the most expensive dish on the menu, at a place that's already above our usual budget, but OMFG it was superb. I would go so far as to say that it might be the best thing I have ever eaten.

The mains were lovely, quality food cooked well and served beautifully, but they paled in comparison.

I am unfortunately too old for it to occur to me that I might take a photograph of my food, so you'll just have to use your imaginations.

Drinking ginger, lemon and honey tea to combat the lurgy. It has a shot and a half of Stones Green Ginger Wine - a known lurgy killer.

 

[spikepipsqueak]

Yeah, that's my excuse for drinking it, too.
