    What did you think of the meal? I tried a meal delivery service a few weeks ago too. Your photo looks SO good!

    Just in time the crazy cold front here - chili! I made 2 slow cookers worth at once (we freeze the extra in mason jars).

    I thought I posted this already, but now I can't see it. So, apologies if this is a double-post. Either that or I might be losing my mind...

    homemade pumpkin yogurt with pumpkin seeds, graham crackers, the family's maple syrup:

    I am super proud of this one. I call it "BBQ Hippie". I got sick of eating the same flavors, so I made up some barbeque sauce and mixed it in with some spiralized sweet potato, mushroom, onion, chicken, avocado with a side of corn on the cob. Same food, different flavor!

    I was feeling masochistic, so I bought another pack of "Volcano Noodles". Last time I tried, I couldn't eat these spicy hot demons without adding coconut milk. This time I mixed what seemed like "cooling" ingredients; sprouts, cucumbers, avocado. It worked! Burned my brains out but in a good way.
    As an aside, this pack of shrimp from Trader Joes is not nearly as good as the shrimp I had from Fred Meyer (Kroger). And it was more expensive! I am surprised at the large difference in quality.

    Desi Daal Tarka and papadum for lunch. Super yummy!

    Very authentic Indian place. Language was a bit of an issue...he asked me if I wanted some rice or naan. I declined but picked out a salad from the menu to go with it. He 'explained' it was just a plain salad, which is what I wanted but he insisted I get rice or naan. We went back and forth...but he really didn't want to order that salad...reminds of that Steinfeld's Soup Naz! too funny...so no salad for me

    Reminds me of once when we biked from Holland to Belgium. It was asparagus season so I ordered asparagus with ham at a gastropub. Because we had eaten fast food all day from food trucks and gas stations I really craved a salad. The only salad on the menu was a greek salad so I ordered that too. The waiter refused to take the order because it wouldn't go with the ham and asparagus.

    Salad with pear, mandarin and blue cheese followed by a warmed up lamb chop from last night's restaurant meal brought home in a doggy bag. It was chargrilled lamb chop with a mole sauce.

    The salad we have been having every night to finish off the open packet of blue cheese. Starter of lettuce, grapes, blue cheese, candied nuts. Main was a dutch meal of magere rookworst (=reduced fat smoked sausage) and zuurkool stampot (=mash mixed with sauerkraut).

    Homemade Pumpkin Harvest soup and naan bread 😊 tastes way better than it looks, jam packed full of veggies and only 81 calories a cup to boot!

    Lunch at my desk was grilled prawn bun cha. Hubby has reverted to being the week night cook now that I am working full time again. We had grilled baby gems with feta and ranch dressing. Main was grilled pangasius fillet and oven fries cooked in the air fryer.

    My 30 minute version of Pho. It is not as rich and satisfying as traditional, all day Pho but it is still pretty tasty. 1bwsohir3gr2.jpeg

    Lunch was a bit decadent. There is a great Vietnamese takeaway near the office. Buncha with crispy pork belly and extra chicken wings on the side.

    Ironically the burger and rib joint next door has been replaced by a vegan restaurant. My first experience with the new generation of vegan burgers that apparently has the meat industry worried. Very convincing vegan burger from Moving Mountains brand.
