It's early afternoon here and my menu so far today has been very simple.

Half a kilo of brussels sprouts.

Brussels sprouts are expensive and infrequently available. Normally if I buy them in the fresh produce section they set me back about $6 for half a kilo.

If I buy them from the freezer section they are $2 for half a kilo. And the frozen ones taste pretty much the same once they are cooked.

I boil them, in the morning, in water with plenty of salt. Drain them, stick them in a plastic container, have them for lunch. Don't even heat them back up.

I've got a big bag of peanuts as backup. If I'm hungry later I will no doubt start scoffing those.

I've only had breakfast so far. Pancakes.

The PR and I went to Waffle House yesterday for a treat.  I got TWO treats.  The cook was one of the best built, sexiest looking guys I've seen in person.  I was so smitten I told him so (PA - Prince Albert forgive me.)  Yeah, I sexually harassed a guy.

Second treat - they offered me a choice of (fake) maple syrup, sugar free syrup or HONEY.  Living in the South we had honey on our pancakes. My tongue was soooooo happy.

I used to put milk on my cereal.

For whatever reason, last nights dinner was SO good. I sliced up Italian sausage, peppers, carrots and potatoes and roasted them in the oven with a spritz of olive oil and seasoning. It turned out perfect with a bit of char to it. Yummy.

^ That does sound really good.

I also like freshly grating some parmesan cheese over the vegetables.


This morning I made a lazy scrambled eggs. A splash of olive oil in a non-stick pan, then broke 3 eggs directly into the pan, then moved it around with a spatula until it seemed cooked. A little salt and pepper on top and it was good to go.

Tonight I cooked up a family favourite, Cheeseburger Gnocchi. Toasted the gnocchi for about 3 mins per side in a tiny bit of butter and then put it off to the side. Browned beef with diced onion, paprika, cumin, mustard power, salt and pepper. When that was done I added a can of diced tomatoes with chilis, 1 cup beef broth, added the gnocchi back in and stirred it all together. Once it came to a boil I let it simmer for 5 mins. Remove from heat, add 1/4 c heavy cream, stir well, then add thinly chopped scallions and shredded cheese on top. So good!

I made this tonight and it was really good. I marinated the chicken for 8 hours first.

Does coffee count as food?

Mine had unsweetened cashew milk in it.

I suspect I will get hungry this afternoon and I didn't bring lunch to work with me. At least I have some roasted seaweed and some olives on my desk for snacking.
