what are you eating right now?

[pfarrell]

...just finished a vodka and grapefruit soda on the rocks....which may account for this post. Don't know if it counts as food or not.

Just curious.

[purple goddess]

Bahn mi from Bun Bun in Springvale....

[hannaone]

Kai bi tang/Mandu soup hybrid. Beef short rib soup with boiled korean dumplings, sliced daikon radish, a sprinkle of green onion and black pepper. A bowl of sticky rice and kimchi. Simple, but sooooo good.

[Querencia]

Trader Joe's Dried Montmorency Cherries. If you eat a whole bunch of them at once they taste like cherry pie.

[MaspethMaven]

Root Beer Ice Cream. not a float, but root beer flavored ice cream.

[justagthing]

I just had a scoop of Thrifty root beer ice cream. I was going for my what I use to eat as a kid, Choc Malted Crunch, but was blind-sided by this flavor. It was so yummy.

[Tehama]

Just finished up potstickers and edamame. And of course Chardonnay. I LOVE what you can find at Asian grocers. Those jumbo size bags of frozen potstickers are the best things ever invented. Ever.

[piccola]

Half a vegan "meatball" sandwich with lots of tomato sauce on crusty baguette. For dessert, Fage 0% mixed with cocoa powder and sweetener.

[ajs228]

Made myself a Dagwood sandwich today...bologna, honey ham, salami, cheddar, monterey jack and mustard on french bread.

[Candy]

Tonight is Vietnamese from In to The Vietnamese Kitchen by Andrea Nguyen. I have Shrimp in Spicy Tamarind Sauce, those to die for corn and coconut fritters and I will do a simple table salad with some butter lettuce, cucumber, a little tomato, mint and cilantro. If you go here http://www.vietworldkitchen.com/ click on quick bites/news letters and click open the 6/18/07 and then select Vietnamese in the Midwest you can see photos of the same dishes. My camera died the other night and the new one I don't expect to be delivered until Monday. Otherwise I'd post photos.

[alias wade]

just made a breakfast taco using yesterday's new trader joes discovery, carnitas-- quite good in a corn tortilla with some shredded cheddar and cholulu sauce

[jnk]

a toasted sesame bagel w/2 slices of swiss and 2 slices of tomato

[Gio]

Can't believe I'm replying to this thread 3 days later.... but tonight's dinner was very tasty - even if very plebeian. OK, Here goes:
Roasted beets, no seasoning. Fresh from the farm. Saahweeeet.
Baked potato. Butter, garlic powder, paprika, S & P.
Pork chops bone in, marinated with lemon rind, thyme, minced garlic, S & P. Grilled.
(this was a Jamie Oliver recipe and absolutely the best I have ever had!)

[p.j.]

3:30 pm, a fresh & juicy Ca. peach, my mid-afternoon fruit snack.

Noon, egg drop soup, and Hunan Chicken: chicken, broccolli, and bamboo shoots in black bean sauce with brown rice: impromptu lunch out for colleague's birthday. Planned lunch was leftover tofu veggie tamarind soup from last Thurs. night out. Guess I know what I will be having tomorrow for lunch.
p.j.

[ciaogal]

...drinking a glass of Trader Joe's 'Josephina' Rose Syrah from Paso Robles, CA, waiting for a chicken to roast in the oven.....served w/ a Trader Joe's Greek Salad......
Needless to say it was a long day @ work.......

[BackyardChef]

Chicken w/ Garlic Sauce and brown rice from Grand Sichuan Eastern on 2nd ave and 55th....

[chef chicklet]

I just ate chicken chow mein, and pepitos. Not at the same time though.

[femmenikita]

Oooh, that actually soounds like they might have been good together!

[chef chicklet]

You know it does!

[swsidejim]

Todays Lunch:

Doritos & a couple of cans of Pepsi @ my desk. after a 2 mile walk in the sun

Trying to save $$$.

[creativeusername]

This is a great thread which I opened because I saw it while chewing and thought: "dude! How did they know I was eating?!" I'm always eating though so I guess there was a good chance.

Chocolate soy protein shake and a banana. My typical 2pm mini-meal.

[pamalamb]

An ear of corn. Yes, at my desk at work... I've already gotten a couple of looks.

[QueenB]

I love it!

[chef chicklet]

Way to go! And for breakfast! I had some a few days a go for breakfast, soooo good!

[lexpatti]

Leftovers from dinner out last night (I love leftovers) - stuffed shrimp with a chipole dipping sauce. It's fast, easy and still as good as last night. :-)

[geg5150]

Breakfast for me. A slice of cinnamon sugar toast and a glass of OJ.

But, I've planned the menu for the next two days already. I was in a planning mood.

Chicken salad on whole wheat for lunch.

Soy and ginger glazed chicken with green beans and steamed rice for dinner. With a cucumber salad.

Lunch tomorrow with be my paprika pork leftover from last night. Dinner tomorrow with be homemade cottage pie.

Snacks are negotiable.

[Divamac]

Just finished a vegan carrot cupcake with vegan cream cheese frosting. Homemade. OK, I ate 2. And they were good!

[Eat_Nopal]

Lunch was homemade Creamed Spinach & Mushroom pizza on Whole Wheat Dough & a cup of Coffee.

Dinner will be Flatiron Steak tacos with Guacamole, Roasted Tomatoes & Roasted Jalapenos, Fresh Cut Pineapple.

[Candy]

I love flat iron steak. I rub it with some oil and season it like fajitas and marinate while I make a guacamole salad. Cherry tomatoes halved, corn kernels, drained seasoned black beans, chopped bell pepper, some jalapeno or serrano chili, lime juice, olive oil, S&P. Let that chill and before serving cut up a couple of avocados to top each portion with. I have warmed corn tortillas along with it. It has beocme almost a weekly staple.

[HungryLetsEat]

Just finished some kettle chips with a thrown-together alfredo/gorgonzola-type sauce. It's my current (very unhealthy) obsession. Several restaurants around here are showing bleu cheese potato chips on their menus now....and I've made it my job to try them all.

[swsidejim]

Just finished lunch....Taco Bell : (

Now I am just finishing off the supersized Mountain Dew... : )

Looking forward to dinner, kilbasa, sauerkraut, steamed red potatoes, steamed corn on the cob, alot of horseradish, and a few cold beers, and some tequila..

[mamamia]

Get thee over to the Home Cooking board and post the recipe!!

[tochipotle]

ha! i'll search my email and post it for you. (got it from a friend and I tweaked it, so I'll try to remember what I did...)
PS I do the same thing with soup - easy and low cal homemade lunch everyday...

[mamamia]

so very off topic, but....I completed a 10-day run with Master Cleanse last week and have committed to cooking and eating non-processed foods. We've been eating a lot of good stuff and I feel so great. Lots of soups, stews, curries, etc.

[Kitchen Queen]

- a bowl of cherrios mixed with grape nuts and n.f. 1/2 and 1/2 - yum!

[mamamia]

Just finished a bowl of homemade split pea soup that we whipped up yesterday.
Split peas
Carrots
Fresh dill

YUM!

[operagirl]

Dinner was spaghetti cooked in chicken broth, garlic, white wine, and olive oil, with basil, toasted pinenuts and goat cheese stirred in at the end. A big mixed green salad as well.

[LANative]

Hi, we totally gorged for Father's Day. Ordered from our great local restaurant, Pace. Started with king crab legs we made, then caesar salad. For entrees, hubby had the seared ahi with a sundried tomato/eggplant salad, I had the lamb shank with mashed potatoes & sauteed spinach (saved most of it for lunch tomorrow). Then we finished with their wonderful berry medly & fresh whipped cream. Accompanied all with brut sparkling wine. Yum.

[purple goddess]

Lunch here in OZ... a slice of yesterday's wood fired roast on whole grain with mayo and seeded mustard. And coffee.. instant, I am afraid....

[mojoeater]

1:15am - M&Ms and a cheap chardonnay...

[don giovanni]

Thanks for that! I needed a good laugh.

[Tehama]

That's awesome! I am so cracking up!

[lvecch]

I just finished some fresh cherries, and now I'm two thirds of the way through a 3-oz. bag of Crunchy Cheetos (they've gotta be Crunchy, not Puffed). From the sublime to the . . . well, sublime.

[Densible]

www.littlecomptonmornings.blogspot.com

[maryelizabeth]

Pad Thai. And popcorn.

[NeNePie]

I just ate a sapote, a fig, and a zee Plum, all from the local farmer's market in Encino. The sapote (a white sapote, not a mamey or a black) was a "B," the plum an "A," and the fig a "B."

The zee plums taste just like the plums I grew up eating off the neighbor's tree.

[don giovanni]

This is fun. I just finished a nice rare filet mignon with mustard brandy cream sauce. Had green beans on the side and a Bass to drink. (US Open food.)

[JSchwo7]

[QueenB]

Currently drinking an Oatmeal Stout.
Then ribeyes on the grill with baby mushrooms and salad for dinner.
Dessert will be Blackberry milkshakes from JITB.

[othervoice]

Ohhhhhh, I'm so jealous.....there's lots of good food going down here but JITB for dessert. Oh how I long for the California goodie. But alas, I'm here on the east coast and have to settle for a "Frappe."

[QueenB]

I just learned the pleasures of JITB after moving to Texas in September. I never knew what I was missing growing up in the Northeast.

[Candy]

Tonight it is lamb kebabs which are marinating in garlic, rosemary, lemon, olive oil, white wine vinegar S&P. They will be skewered and grilled. I have a very garlicky baba ganoush chilling the sort made with a bit of good greek yoghurt. Nigella's watermelon salad is chiling too. Maybe I'll put a bottle of rose in to chill with the rest. Right now i am getting ready for a scotch and to put my feet up a bit.

[Lori SF]

yum

[Sharon BG]

Pancakes, hash browns, and bacon - Papa's request for Father's Day.

Tonight's request is steaks on the grill, sweet corn on the cob, Scandanavian potato salad and pesto pasta salad, and homemade cornbread. With cheesecake for dessert.

Breakfast - fresh strawberries & blueberries topped with barbara's shredded spoonfuls and kefir...

[pie]

Just had a bean sandwich. Ojo de Cabra Beans (Goat's Eye) on whole grain toast, with a little bit of pepperjack cheese melted on top.

[Cynsa]

It's Joong for breakfast this morning. Yesterday, we made joong with salted duck egg, dried shrimp, lop cheung, boiled peanuts, shiitake mushrooms, chestnuts, mung beans, pork belly with 5-spice, blackeyed peas. It's s-o-o-o good!

[Emme]

Just finished a hearts of palm and artichoke heart salad.

Maple Smaps (high protein, high fiber gluten free cereal) dry.

[aeros]

Drinking a glass of assam tea and eating the new Limited Edition Dunking Oreo Cookies

[Laura D.]

Aeros, what are the Limited Edition Dunking Oreo Cookies? I went onto the website and didn't see them mentioned...perhaps they are a different shape? I swear, sometimes I think that Oreos are the perfect food. Thanks!

[aeros]

They are a different shape -- narrow rounded rectangles, similar to "Vienna Fingers". officially called "Limited edition Oreo Dunkers" They also have "6 Fun Cookie Designs!" on the back they have different sayings: "Dunk Me"; Milk's Favorite Cookie"; "Milk This Way (with arrows pointing down)"; "Hold Here/Dunk Here (With arrows)"; "Dunk-o-meter" and "Soaked/Soggy/Dry"

They are fun.

[Laura D.]

Thanks! I'll have to look for them.

[John Manzo]

BC cherries.

[KaimukiMan]

some strip mall sushi (not bad, but not great)

[Sam Fujisaka]

Menudencias in teriyaki sauce (marinaded for 24 hours) over sauteed feather sliced onions and sliced semi-hot chilis, with a couple of beaten eggs mixed in for the last couple of minutes.

Menudencias = all the funny bits of a chicken: head, neck, internals, feet. I save the feet for the MIL's soups; chuck the head and all that skin and fat, cut the neck in quarters, trim away all the fat from the rest and cut up in bite size pieces, resulting in about 10-15% of the original weight and volume.

[Veggo]

I am eating still more of my first-ever batch of pickled beets and onions that I concocted on Wednesday. I had no idea of the range of side effects from pickled beets, but I made 'em and I'll eat 'em and I'll type my way through this sulphurous fog in my study until they are gone and I'll surely remember never to make them again ever ever ever again.

[Veggo]

Epilogue: T'wasn't the beets; merely a tummy virus. The beets are innocent, and were quite tasty.

[justagthing]

Glad you are feeling better and thanks for the update.

[jword2001]

canned spaghetti and meat balls...yeah i know, but hey it's quick,may wash it down with a bit of rum n coke zero

[ArikaDawn]

A piece of white chocolate bread from the new artisan bread bakery that just opened near my home. Positively addictive!

[stolenchange]

That sounds fabulous! Can you describe it? Type slowly... ;)

[Cheese Boy]

Type slowly and keep it in a separate room from the Nutella please. This sounds like it's in a league of its own.

[PommeDeGuerre]

A split and toasted roll, spread with a mixture of Greek yogurt, garlic, sesame-chile oil, and cumin. A few cilantro leaves chopped up and sprinkled over the top. Don't laugh.

[orangewasabi]

dried strawberries -- can't talk, my teeth are stuck together

[AnneInMpls]

Oooooh, dried strawberries are amazing! Did you make them or buy them? If you bought them, please tell me where! My dad lives in Toronto - I'll beg him to send me a care package.

Thanks,
Anne

P.S. Me, I'm eating take-out salad and pizza tonight - but it's the BEST salad and pizza in town. I eat the salad with my fingers, because it tastes better that way.

[orangewasabi]

I bought them in SF so you probably have a better chance of finding them near you than I have of ever finding them here.

(I eat salad with my fingers a lot too, and it does taste better that way ;-)

[justagthing]

Salad with chopsticks.

[Lori SF]

i am in sf where did you get dried strawberries, please tell.

[orangewasabi]

well this time I got them at SFO (Terminal A) and the brand I have is Vacaville Fruit Company: Drying California Fruit since 1960

You can also get them at the Olsen's cherry/fruit market in Sunnyvale

[Ruth Lafler]

Do you have Trader Joe's? I'm pretty sure they have dried strawberries (they have dried almost anything).

I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm contemplating grating up some of the amazing zucchini I bought at the farmers' market yesterday (I never really thought about the quality of zucchini until I picked one of these up and felt their perfection), mixing in some egg and grated red onion, maybe some fresh dill, and making "cakes."

What I was eating last night when this was posted ... a cold supper, including roasted corn salad with diced summer squashes and jicama and a lime/cumin dressing; warm nectarine fruit crisp with Straus organic vanilla ice cream, capped off with my sister's homemade limoncello (served in the exquisite blown glass cordial glasses I just hand-carried home from Venice).

[JSchwo7]

love zucchini cakes, I like to add mint and feta cheese.

[inuksuk]

Kimchi and beer while I watch a Ki-duk Kim double feature. First, 3-Iron then Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring.

[justagthing]

Leftover ribs from BBQ place in Seal Beach, yummy last nite and even yummier today! Still have more for tomorrow. woohoo!

[hannaone]

Just finished eating boiled pork belly with rice, kimchi, and Ssam paste wrapped in red leaf lettuce, with soy sauce boiled eggs as a side.

[LHorch]

leftover sides from last night's steak dinner....

I don't recommend it.

[Lori SF]

that is my kinda meal.

[hannaone]

The wifes away so I get to play with all the food.

[financialdistrictresident]

A glass of red wine and leftover pasta w/mascarpone cheese, cream and shaved black truffles.

[revsharkie]

I had a couple of margaritas, then Great Northern beans & ham with homemade corn bread.

[Gio]

Just finished a spinach wrap with sliced double garlic marinated chicken breast and sauteed peppers and onions, and cob salad. For dessert - fresh strawberries 'au naturale'. We made the rounds of the local farm stands today and everything was delicioso!.

[Davwud]

Smoked, slow cooked then grilled side ribs, with a decent amount of sauce on them.
Asian salad.

Ya, I know they don't really go together but they were both in my fridge and in need of eating.

DT

[Lori SF]

Just had some kettle popcorn and a glass of pomelo sauvignon blanc great pairing by the way….we went to the farmer's market and my lovely SO is making dinner. Fresh salad greens with candied pecans, peaches, Serrano ham with olive oil and vinegar.. Risotto with morsels and fresh peas, grated parm and some random yummy red wine.. life is good and we are watching the original Rocky..

[justagthing]

Salad and risotto sound fabulous, can I come over?

[Lori SF]

the salad was amazing.. just the pefect sweet form the farmer's market peaches, salt from the ham and candied pecans a bit of spring oniion and parm with oil home made dressing. I wish you could come over we have enough for three other people. taking a break and now the risotto comes!

[lisa13]

home made nut brown ale

it is my backup for some ting to drink

[mojoeater]

Just finished a bowl of chipotle mac and cheese with a runny egg on top. Might have the same for breakfast.

[pfarrell]

sounds great...

[ciaogal]

Just putting chicken apple sausage on the grill...making a greek salad, warming up some Trader Joe's Garlic Naan and opening a bottle of chilled Pinot Grigio

[LHorch]

"a bowl of chipotle mac and cheese with a runny egg on top"
OMG that sounds SO good...

still hungry after eating reheated potatoes..

[mojoeater]

I was inspired to make the mac a couple days ago when another poster said her chicken was too spicy from chipotle in adobo. I gotta say, it ain't too spicy for me!

[JSchwo7]

That does sound amazing, can you share the recipie?

[mojoeater]

I just made normal mac and cheese and added 1/2 can of chipotle in adobo to the cheese sauce before adding it to the pasta and baking. No real recipe.
