Whatcha Eatin ? - 2018

Hummus and veggies (carrots, celery and broccoli).

Gradually eating everything i could drag to the country: leftovers of split pea-veggie soup, new pail of korean-style chopped cabbage, qutab, nectarines, dark chocolates with fruit chunks. ...I thought i would never get to the house,- Gala's cans were as heavy as hell . But now she's pleased for a short period of time, and won't grumble until tomorrow.
Tomorrow i'm planning to make a new farro soup! I miss farro soups. Despite that at the summer cottage we only have a small electric stove, which hardly boils anything, i should try to make something different, because mom had deceived me and didn't buy split peas. So, yay farro!

More hummus and veggies.

Chokeberries (yesterday, from no one's shrubs along the road). I'm going to do it today when i go to the grocer. They are still quite astringent,- if birds don't eat them, they will stay on the shrubs until 2nd decade of October, and then they will be completely sweet. But now it's already mouth watering.

Apples (again). I bought a big bag of local ones. Early Macs.

 

[Val]

Simple salad of tomatoes, boiled beets and boiled carrots + apple cider vinegar and yeast seasoning.
Stew of eggplants and peppers with salsa, seasonings and dill.
Pickles.
At night i'll be eating nectarins, larabars, dark chocolate and "belyj naliv" apples.

What is it on the second picture? I suspect, it's something super tasty... What is this "substance" made of? (Sorry for calling your food such a name).

Second pic is a leftover half of a yellow stuffed pepper sliced into thirds... roughly.... LOL

I just went elsewhere and found my post about the rest:

Doing some improvising in the kitchen.... I want to use up the rest of my dry brown rice (not much but it should be enough for what I'm doing)... I still have lentils... what I don't have is broth. But I do have half a red onion left, I have half a pound (roughly) of mushrooms left, I have two bell peppers left, plus plenty of garlic & greens (plus frozen mixed veggies if need be)... so I'll use the garlic & onion & shrooms & the tops of the peppers, sauté it all, add water & spices to make a nice stock... saving the bottom "bulb" parts of the peppers to eventually stuff them with the filling that ensues. LOL

I'm just making the stock & filling today, though... not much time for anything else. Better get to it!


ETA: Actually, I think I'm only going to be able to make the stock before I leave. That's just fine, though... it'll give the flavors more time to mingle, let that bay leaf do its thing.

Ah, thanks... That's a good idea which i should try, except for the shrooms...

Just have tried a new bar "Frutolad". It's made of dried apricots, dried apples, fresh oranges, frozen cranberries, apple puree, raisins and fructose. I want more! And i've sent mom to Magnet (Aldi analog) for them.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

I salvaged a zucchi-banzo patty & made myself a "pizza burger" of sorts... I guess. Still rye bread (toasted, not grilled this time), but added Daiya provolone & mozzarella shreds, as well as some leftover Newman's Own tomato-basil sauce....

And I made the last of my fries (chips).

It's goin' on 2:30 in the morning & I'm not really all that hungry... but I need to eat this stuff! LOL

Made mushroom tetrizzini. Started to follow a recipe but that didn't last! Ended up sauteing mushrooms, onions, and garlic, then added some of my powdered dried mushrooms, some cornstarch mixed with water, some cashew creme (last time I buy those) with rosemary and black pepper. I mixed in whole wheat spaghetti. At serving I stirred some vegan (Aldis) creme cheese and nooch, then found how wonderful some salt made it . I'm done trying to cut out salt! I do need to cut out a lot of other foods- I've been an eating fool lately!

My new "mesivo" of black rice, red cabbage, salsa, cayenne and yeast seasoning.
Georgian-style chopped pickled cabbage.
Pickled jalapeños.
Toasts with chickpea/tahini hummus.

Half a whole-grain organic bagel with vegan cream cheese.

Hi, honey! Are you in the mood today?

 

[Val]

Leftovers of my mung bean borscht,
Simple salad of napa cabbage, tomatoes, home-made pickles, yeast seasoning and apple cider vinegar,
Plums, cashews, iranian dates, the rest of gypsy apples,
Pickled spicy cabbage in beet marinade,
Korean-style pressed soy fiber,
Pine nut hummus with "vegetable" bread,
Pickled jalapeños again.
I'm up to buying a huge "head" of red cabbage tonight and making a new "mesivo" with black rice.

 

[Val]

Chokeberries (and sauerkraut, hehehe)

 

[PTree15]

Chocolate-peanut butter overnight oats. Mmmmm.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Some mushroom bourguignon & mashed potatoes... not really diggin' it, though. The "stew" is fantastic with fettuccine... and when I made it with that bag of brown rice, I ate the whole batch in one sitting. LOL The taters are tasty... I just don't like the combo, I guess.

I wanted to just grab a quick bite to eat, then lie down to read & nap.... Now I have to make fettuccine.
