mmm quinoa

i get the giant bag of it from costco and keep it in the freezer, it's way cheaper

Ya. I found it online that I can buy really big amounts 10ish pounds. I may just go that route... While a little goes a long way, I eat it quite often. In fact that is what I'm going to eat for dinner...

[luna]

Went for Lebanese food last night omg it was so good!

Also super impressed that they had organic brewed iced black tea with agave on the menu..mmm

i've practically became a vegetarian because i have an innate fear of meat rotting in my fridge.
i don't like eating meat after it's been frozen -- quality doesn't seem to be the same. and i also don't like the feeling of paying for meat + having it rot out on me. total waste of money. so i've just loaded up on tofurkey sausages + tofu for my proteins, since neither of that goes bad, haha

my fav poorman's meal lately has been soba with roasted seaweed, tossed in soy sauce, chili sesame oil, and sriracha with boiled egg. SO good!

i've also been really creative lately with a lot of soup/noodle recipes. i've even made a vegemite soy miso broth for some egg noodles, haha

I lived with a vegetarian couple for two years, and whilst I didn't completely give up meat, most of the time we would eat together and they'd make something involving Quorn, and I have to say, it's gotten a lot better since I'd previously tasted vegetarian food.  Their sausages, chicken pieces and a few other things are actually really good substitutes.

I've also been making a lot of ramen soup bowl dishes lately, can't get enough of them!  Give me ideas threatsie!

I like to make a ramen with cubes of cooked chicken, chicken broth, miso paste, and sliced bok choy.  it's yummy.

[Static]

I'll try that with Bok Choy sometime, Sliced pork which I had previously marinaded in soy, ginger and honey, is a big favourite at the moment.

chicken broth, chili sesame oil, and asian "seasoning sauce" are your friends

Keith and I went out for Indian last night (the kiddo was sleeping over at a friend's) and we nearly killed ourselves. 
It had been too long since I'd eaten Mulligatawny...mmmm.

[Aaron]

I have had Indian food once. And I could have just eaten the Naan bread and been happy with that. Stuff is amazing.


I bought some oatmeal and raisins. I was also way to lazy to cook it, so I just put them both in a bowl and added water... Not bad. (No sugar or anything else...)

[luna]

Going for Indian food tonight!

[kristin]

I can't stop eating Justin's Nut Butter. Specifically- maple almond butter.

[Goose]

All three Indian restaurants in this town have a $10 lunch buffet.  They are frequented often.  They've definitely not helped my weight loss, and have made for some very unproductive afternoons.

I tasted a 100 year old egg today. Well I tasted the uh, white? of the egg... My coworker from Vietnam brought it in. She just said it was a duck egg (which look hella cool. They have a blueish shell, and blue spots on the shell. Anyhoo I peeled it (my roommate/coworker let me have the honor.) And when I broke enough of the shell off I saw that the white wasn't white but black or coke cola brown (when you cut a small bit off you can see it's more brownish then black.) He knew it was a 100 year old egg when he saw that. He had to tell me (his mom is from Hong Kong. And HELLA COOL!) He told me that she would make them as well. Only he wouldn't tell me how she made them, since I really wouldn't want to try it. I had heard about them and knew one way of making them. His mom's is different... (leaves them above the fridge for a few weeks/month. He wasn't to sure.) ANYHOO I wanted to cut it open, but he told me to wait (since he thought it was gona stink.) So I get back into his department (where she also works) and cut it in two. The fucking smell of the yolk was horrible. And the texture of it. A mix of hard boiled egg yolk and soft slimy ness. She told me to eat it. So I  cut a really small amount and tried it. Never again. I didn't throw up, but it up set my stomach for a long time. I also felt like a wuss watching her eat both halves like they were nothing.


After work I went to my folks house and had dinner. Which was great. Since I didn't have to cook, or pay for the food. AND I got to hang out with my folks. (AND MY PUPPY!)

[r00]

you are a braver man than I.  I always thought those 100 year old eggs were one of the most disgusting things I could ever fathom eating.  (only being topped by balut eggs).
