What Are You Eating Today?

Pizza and bourbon. I drink it neat, the wife I'll mix up an old fashion.
 
When it comes to whiskey I'm a Glenfiddich man. I'm aware this is not the brand for connoiseurs, and do not give a flying pig. :D
 
Morning was too busy for anything but a a smoothie on the fly, but I'm home now so I just finished sort of belated brunch in the form of huevos rancheros. Made the salsa earlier in the week for something else, still good. Eggs are fake, given the times, but I've found it doesn't make much of a difference if everything else is good.
 
Eggs are fake
???

WTF is a fake egg?
There's quite a range of plant based egg alternatives. We realized early on in the egg crisis that their price and availability didn't change much, because most people refuse to eat them even under duress. But as I said, if they're in buried in something like a sandwich or a burrito you hardly notice the difference. I think they taste a lot like those bulk sale egg liquid cartons that diners and hotels use to save $$$.

I like these ones best:

On the pricier side, but still cheaper and more existent than actual eggs are at present.

Not as much fun to actually cook with though. Nothing to crack. No yolk. I keep wanting to wander by the campus farm to see if the new chicks have grown up yet, but they hate visitors with partisan passion. We must simply wait and hope.

What else (apart from Glenfiddich) goes in your morning smoothie?
Right now, mangos and various stonefruits. Tis the season. Sometimes an apple or pear. I like fresh ginger also, and will throw in some wheatgrass for the extra antioxidants though tbh I don't really care for the stuff... I am impatient for the papayas to come in, they are my favorites.

The whiskey is not for morning. The whiskey is for the "third shift" grading pile much, much later.
 
We went on the bourbon tour 15 years ago before it all got popular. I have some unopened bottles from back then that I thought were expensive at $25-35 a bottle. Those could pay mortgage payments now.

Now there are so many different brands from places outside Kentucky. They mix fruit and cinnamon in some of it. Blech. I don't even like ice in the glass. If I put sugar or mint in it for simeone else, it's definately bottom shelf stuff.

Whiskey would be a reward for me for when I finish marking. Though as a classroom teacher, I finish marking spelling, go on to mark maths pretext, then record reading screeners results, then mark the cold write. Next week will be marking mapping from HASS, and maths test, and the plans for the kids speeches on The Smartest Giant In Town to give them feedback so they can bump their grade up. Of course, there is always the weekly homework to mark and the day to day stuff.

Hmm…I might never finish!
 
Thai food for dinner. Everything awesome but especially mango with sweet sticky rice.
 
The last time Bilby and I went to the UK I fell in love with my MIL’s cast iron enamelled cooking pot. So much so Bilby got me a 22cm 3.3L one not long after. We have since discovered that it’s a tad small.

I just ordered a new one. A 28cm 6.7L one! And in the appropriate colour.

We named the one we have already ’Cassie’ but we can’t call the bigger one that. Any suggestions?

BTW I am looking forward to many more cooking adventures with this one!

We call those "Dutch ovens" in the states.
