Not stirred - but did just plop that cottage cheese right into the soup - like a little white island in a red sea

Well turns out the pork didn't thaw fully in time to cook yesterday. Oops!
Lunch ended up being an egg salad sandwich (egg, greek yogurt, mustard, and dill) with some greens from the garden. For supper I made roasted cauliflower and radish salad with lentils. Plenty of leftovers for today too.
Today is the usual breakfast - avo egg toast, probably yogurt dip snack mid-morning. Lunch is probably leftover lentils and veggies, and supper tonight will be the smoked tenderloin!4 -

Yes! I recently discovered it, and it has become one of my favorites. The dressing is amazing - the crispy seeds and sour tamarind really make it! I don't like raw radishes, but turns out I love them roasted!

It’s ok to mix peas with mashed potatoes!...and a casserole mixes things....I just don’t like my vegetables or sauces running into each other!...sometimes I put my food in individual tiny bowls....when I was a kid I would put bread crusts between the different foods on my plate!...I think I have always had an obsession with food...( probably part of my eating disorder )... I always nibble the crust off of a sandwich and then take equal size bites off each side....I know, I am nuts!
Anyway, tonight we are having fresh broccoli, corn on the cob, salad and some kind of meat....can’t decide between chicken and pulled pork!3 -
I am loving my lunches this week!
Rice (just plain white rice for me lol) topped with spinach and broccoli sautéed with coconut aminos, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Then a lightly fried egg, still runny, on top of that. Finally I drizzle on some more coconut aminos and sesame oil plus a little sriracha.4 -

I love your description. I'm fine if it all mushes together (but not if I'm serving it to people). I have two adult sons - one is like me, very casual about food touching willeats his sons crusts and leftovers (which I clump in with the casual) and the other is/has always been a bit more particular. As I child he would go so far as to deconstruct a submarine sandwich. As he grew up he just gave very specific instructions as to how it was to be assembled:
Open bun - strip of cheese on both sides lettuce on both sides three slices of tomatoes on both sides olives on both sides pickles on both sides single line of mayo on both sides sub sauce on both sides salt and pepper on both sides - and then the poor sub maker was supposed to somehow close the sandwich! It was always a lot of fun going to the sub shop with him. We had our favourite spots - they knew him and would have a bit of fun when he walked in the door. We haven't gone for a sub in awhile! (oh yeah - we are in a pandemic! - forgot about that.)3 -

Ha! Samson and Samsonite ARE related!!!!! From Wikipedia: "A religious man, Shwayder named one of his initial cases Samson, after the Biblical strongman, and began using the trademark Samsonite"2

I remain in the "un-exciting" column: President Choice Red Curry Chicken (180 Cal after removing the 159g of cooked rice), betty crocker garlic mashed potatoes (360 Cal, 108g) plus ~100 Cal of green giant mixed veg in the mash (ALL TOUCHING TOGETHER
), plus a 200 Cal tomato, cucumber, red pepper, radish, green onion, raspberry wine vinegar, lemon pepper, oregano side salad... dad went for the red curry chicken with rice as intended and a slightly smaller salad... 2 -
We ordered in Chinese because TOM and I hurt terribly if I do much more than sit and breathe carefully. Of course I will get about three more meals out of mine, and so will the rest of the family. We're accustomed to much smaller portions.5

The smoked tenderloin was delicious. We had it with some home canned green beans, and then threw a pineapple on the smoker for a dessert experiment (coated in honey and cinnamon). We should have let it go longer, but it was pretty good!
After an evening bike ride, we stopped at the ice cream truck in the park for soft serve. Husband wanted his own and didn't want to split one, and they only really have one size cone (big and generously filled), so I asked for less soft serve in it (which...maybe kind of worked? i think?). I ate a bit over half and stuck the rest in the freezer when we got home. I just had it for breakfast. Yummm.
Today will mostly be leftovers I think - finish up the lentils/veggies for lunch, repurpose the pork in some way for dinner.5 -
Lamb Koftas with pittas4

We had an easy dinner but really good!....I had one package of shredded pork left in the freezer from a huge butt I had baked a couple of months ago....I mixed some Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce in it and had it on hamburger buns.....also had cut green beans boiled with tiny new red potatoes.....plus our usual huge tossed salad that I passed on tonight.....but husband cleaned it up!4

Have you been watching too much of the Crown?! 🤣🤣🤣
That's a negative!
I haven't watched ANY TV in years because MFP takes up the time slot! Though I guess I DO "watch" whatever drones on when I'm at dad's!!!
Nah.... mom was a major fan of women-car-mechanics!
Not that she wasn't already 90% there after spending the early 60's in London and Bristol, but then there was that oath she took to become a Canadian citizen: "that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance To Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second Queen of Canada Her Heirs and Successors"
Well that's as far as she got before the meltdown!!!
(some barely relevant add ons for the rest of us would be "that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen")2 -
Strip loin 203g, boiled and then pan fried baby potatoes 288g, broccolini 400g, 40g garlic (boiled w/the potatoes so devenomed😹), 5g lemon pepper and lemon herb spices, 55g keens hot mustard, 7g avocado oil (too liberal but necessary to prevent sticking)
That was a lot!3 -
going to try that boiling garlic with the ??? trick. Sounds exciting! Do you really get some garlic flavour?3

John and I are going out ALONE for dinner!....and shopping tomorrow if he is up to it....this man is so difficult to get him to buy himself clothes or shoes....on the other hand my closet looks like a department store!....tomorrow night I am making pizza for us while we watch the hockey game!5

Last night I made some cannelini beans in tomato sauce with basil and dill to have with my pork tenderloin.
Today was an eggless breakfast
but it was still good. Yogurt PB2 dip and an apple, and leftover beans. Lunch will probably be some sesame ginger tofu I have in the fridge, and we've decided that dinner will be tuna steaks on top of a salad. I should have some calories left for something, but I'm not sure what yet. 4 -
Always a change of plans here!...decided to eat lunch out tomorrow and then shop!...staying in to night and cleaning out the refrigerator....leftover salad, cottage cheese, green beans, potatoes and an ear of corn....not sure what else is in there!3

Cod, spuds, carrots & peas with homemade Tartar sauce!
Salad for lunch ... so what? ..I hear you say! Well, nearly all home produce - except for tomatoes - got blight again this year 😕4 -
Sounds delicious!0
