I had some rochefort left, so I made a blue cheese sauce for some lamb fillets. With the last remnants of a white wine that was getting a little stale mixed in. Turned out pretty awesome if I say so myself.

Taco Tuesday!

Risotto with three kinds of tomato and parmesan cheese.

We got a load of risotto rice for free at work because the sell-by date has passed. Now I have 3kg of expensive italian risotto rice to experiment with

I made a lovely angel hair with a simple marinara!

2 cloves garlic diced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2T evoo
1 can San Marzano whole tomatoes
1 courgette sliced
2T fresh grated Parmesan
1T butter
A few leaves fresh basil and parsley

Sautée garlic and pepper flakes in evoo. Add tomatoes, crushing each, sauce from can and Parmesan. Simmer for 10 minutes, then add courgette, butter and herbs. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer another 5 minutes and serve with angel hair pasta.

The bestest chocolate cake ever (since the last time I ate chocolate cake).

[Lady Bliss]

Sausage and peppers! Of course, I cheat and use turkey Italian sausage, but you'd never notice the difference!

Leftover Indian food ftw.

My typical daily regimen:

- 2 glasses of tart cherry juice (one of the only juices with a low glycemic index), one after waking, one about four hours before sleep
- large bowl of frozen wild blueberries with 4 Brasil nuts, 4 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, Ceylon cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, mint, miscellaneous spices
- medium sized bowl of guacamole (eaten with spoon) with 4 tablespoons of walnuts (or other non-Brasil nut nuts) on top
- large bowl of steamed broccoli, cauliflower, carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 4 tablespoons minced garlic, 4 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, variety of spices, sometimes other seeds (poppy, sesame) too

- large bowl of beans (usually several different types at once, rotating varieties) with spices
- 2 steamed wild Sockeye salmon filets with vinegars, various spices

- up to 4 tablespoons soy sauce, about 4 tablespoons Chinese hot mustard, and at least 4 tablespoons hot chili sauce (no sweetener) distributed among the above

- at least 6 cups of cold brew coffee
- at least 2 cups of unsweetened, undutched, lukewarm pure cocao with spices
- at least 1 cup turmeric and ginger tea, with a tablespoon of black pepper
- 1-4 alcoholic drinks (usually whiskey mixed with water and/or a little tart cherry and vanilla)

Today I also had two small bowls of chia seed mixed with tart cherry juice and frozen mango slices (some half-thawed, others hot). The beans were a mix of kidney, great white, green, black, and chickpeas.


As far as spices go---I've recently gotten really into shichimi togarishi (which also contains sesame seeds and seaweed). I don't use any sweeteners.

Pork pie, scotch egg, sausage roll. The holy trinity of picnics. Never ask me to choose between them, I just can't.

NOR SHOULD YOU.

After several years of extensive hypnotic conditioning, I developed the ability to vividly hallucinate eating foods similar to those I've already eaten just by looking at (or imagining) them---and to control aspects of the experience, amp up the pleasure, alter the flavors to perfection: I eat their essence, and amplify blissful satiety beyond my reason's ability to measure.

(Though when I got into mindfulness practice, I realized there are almost always many more sensations involved in the act of eating than we're aware of... and even more possible sensations, when we factor in the extent to which our minds produce sensations beyond a simple 1:1 correspondence between the physical properties of the food/eating and our mental experience (for what is humanity, if not a mental pie?).)

Psychologists have demonstrated that just asking ordinary people, without any formal hypnotic conditioning (or substantive special training), to vividly imagine eating something---and feeling full---significantly decreases their subsequent desire or craving to eat to excess. (This is also why "the secret" is mostly bunk: vividly imagining having achieved your goals, and the pleasure you'd imagine deriving from all the resulting spoils, generally makes people less motivated to work towards actually doing them. They feed on the essence of their dreams, and feel too full to want to do anything more.)

As Nietzsche schrie: Who grapple with pasties should see to it they themselves do not turn into pasties. And when Scotch eggs gaze longingly into an abyss, the abyss gazes back through them....

That sounds....weird as hell!
I'm relatively well back on the wagon but still have my crippling crisp addiction to kick fully

I'm having a hard time deciding what to make for dinner tonight.

It's either brown-butter and thyme gnocci with mushrooms, corn, and chard or seared salmon with a cucumber, orzo, and green bean salad.

[Macros]

Cold pizza for me

[Traveller]

Melted goats cheese with red onion chutney in a ciabatta.

I can't believe I only just discovered the glory of melted goats cheese.

[Azath Vitr (D'ivers]

But with no cheese, mayo, lettuce, burger, or sandwich.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

Lunchmeat wrapped in lettuce. Not one, but two pieces of lettuce. Don't be jealous.

[Tsundoku]

Breakfast. Yum.
