Today's meals:
Skipped breakfast Lunch: potato soup with chicken, cheese, and bacon, plus mini breadsticks Dinner: turkey, spinach and red onion meatballs, plus broccoli with cheese Snacks: Lindt truffles--one milk chocolate, one white chocolate, and one stracciatella Currently finishing up a glass of Bordeaux as my nightcap. Yes, eating this way is how I've lost 25 pounds. :D |

Or even buy hard as a rock...they ripen quickly if not refrigerated. Even faster if you store it in a brown paper bag.

I had this for dessert during my luncheon today.

I'm a millennial, I also own a home. That was more in jest because around here the boomers blame the lack of home ownership amongst young people on overseas holidays and avo on toast.
Those beetroots are cooked, not raw. I love a salad sandwich, they're hard to find these days. My grandmother used to make a sandwich that was straight out of a can beetroot on the whitest of white bread with nothing else but too much butter. Push down on the top of it where it was connected to the tree. If it's firm but has some give then it's perfect. If it's too soft then the avo is past its best, if you can't push it down the avo is unripe. |

thanks for the info and tips! I did read that the salad sandwich was based on canned beetroot (“beets” in USA) - I need to start buying and cooking beets again for myself. I remember when my mum first gave me non-canned beetroots. I wasn't a happy kid. I spat them out and said they taste like dirt. |
For dinner: Cream of Rice Kubba Cooked with Turnips in Tomato Sauce (disclaimer: the missus used V-8 as the tomato sauce)

Yeah I mean the ones in the can are cooked before they are put in the can.

i love love love beets roasted boiled cooked and then cold for salad i really can’t explain why I’ve not bought beets in years. They’re so great. I used to only roast them for Christmas Eve. Time to buy them this week. |

Trader Joes. Awesome in a salad and already cooked.
also Trader Joe’s is always popular so now during pandemic the entry queue is too much and I refuse to return. I’m too addicted to the ease of Safeway and Gus’ which both have queues when needed but generally are less crowded. Likewise I won’t return to WF because of the entry queue. |

In fact I'll make everyone on this forum a salad sanga at my place. Eventually we'll get there, and we'll discuss this awfulness that we're currently going through. :) |
Ok I’ll google salad sanga. Cheers!!
ah sanga means sandwich :-) |
For lunch, summer pasta with fried garlic, cucumbers, and tomatoes & chicken Milanese - washed it down with a refreshing glass of chilled White Lillet!

Ha! I think this belonged in the bugger I'm drunk thread over on OMNI. One too many red wines out at dinner last night. Sharing the love!
