What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[LeverEnd]

Scotland undoubtedly has many dishes to offer, but their humble potato soup has been in a position of excellence for many years for me. First had it at a hotel in Troon many years ago as an evening meal first course. It was terrific. They must have different potatoes or a secret recipe.

That'll be the special ingredient, they use for the English

They call it "man fat"

I'd like to share with you all, if I may, the only poem by Burns that I know apart from the one about the mouse and the rose. If only he'd lived a couple of hundred years he'd have been distinctly unplagued to find it all the rage.

It's called Nae hair on't

Yestreen I wed a lady fair,
And ye wad believe me,
On her c*nt there grows nae hair,
That's the thing that grieves me.

It vexed me sair, it plagu'd me sair,
It put me in a passion,
To think that I had wad a wife,
Whase c*nt was out o' fashion.


Nothing to do with turnips, but amuses me nonetheless.

Excellent sir! You'd a'complimented wur wee Burns neet tremendously.

this week (obviously) I will be mostly following Amanda Chantal Bacon's personal diet... it looks truly fab!

“I usually wake up at 6:30am, and start with some Kundalini mediation and a 23-minute breath set—along with a copper cup of silver needle and calendula tea—before my son Rohan wakes.”

“At 8am, I had a warm, morning chi drink on my way to the school drop off, drunk in the car! It contains more than 25 grams of plant protein, thanks to vanilla mushroom protein and stone ground almond butter, and also has the super endocrine, brain, immunity, and libido- boosting powers of Brain Dust, cordyceps, reishi, maca, and Shilajit resin. I throw ho shou wu and pearl in as part of my beauty regime. I chase it with three quinton shots for mineralization and two lipospheric vitamin B-complex packets for energy.”

“At 9:30am, I drink 16 ounces of unsweetened, strong green juice, which is my alkalizer, hydrator, energizer, source of protein and calcium, and overall mood balancer. It’s also my easy, ‘lazy,’ and delicious skin regime. I also take three tablespoons of bee pollen. I love Moon Juice’s soft and chewy bee pollen—it’s a creamy, candy-like treat that gives me my daily B-vitamin blast, and also helps feed my skin and aids hormone production. I’ll also grab a handful of activated cashews. I try to get these in every day for their brain chemistry magic. I chase this with a shot of pressed turmeric root in freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.”

“For lunch, I had zucchini ribbons with basil, pine nuts, sun-cured olives, and lemon, with green tea on the side. This is such an easy, elegant, and light meal. I made this while on a phone meeting before heading out for the rest of the work day. I often alternate this with my other lunch staple: a nori roll with umeboshi paste, avocado, cultured sea vegetables, and pea sprouts. This is my version of a taco, and it’s insanely delicious. These ingredients are all pantry staples, so I eat some version of this everyday. It’s probiotic-rich with the cultured veggies, and deeply mineralizing thanks to the sea vegetables, and the avocado nourishes the brain and hormones. It’s awesomely satiating and takes 45 seconds to compile. I usually make this while standing, working with someone, simultaneously emailing and definitely texting. I know the right answer would be to sit down and take 10 minutes to eat, but that doesn’t happen for lunch, ever.”

“If I’m home around 3pm, I always reach for coconut yogurt with cardamom, dried figs, walnuts, and apricots from a weekend farm visit—and a chunk of raw dark chocolate. I ferment big batches of coconut yogurt and make big batches of raw chocolate spiked with maca and any other medicinal herb I’m focusing on. It’s easy to do, and makes for potent, fast snack food throughout the month.”

“Today I also called into Moon Juice and got some ‘drive through.’ Work doesn’t keep me in the shop like it used to. Sadly I’m always on the go and running late, so I usually call in a mid-workday curbside pick-up. I grabbed a mint chip hemp milk with double servings of maca and sprouted brown rice protein, sweetened with stevia, as well as two Goodness Greens juices.”

“I had an early, pre-yoga dinner at Shima in Abbot Kinney, which is my 3-year-old’s favorite restaurant. I had a seaweed salad with micro cilantro and daikon, and a delicate broth of mushrooms and herbs.”

“From 7 to 9pm, I went to my Kundalini yoga class at Rama Yoga in Venice, with my go-to teacher, Harijiwan.”

“My son and I make a batch of almond milk and vanilla chia pudding for the next morning at bedtime. We like to have cups of it before it’s totally done, when it’s more like chia milk.”

“At 11pm, I had a nightcap of heart tonic and raw chocolate made from one of my big batches—this one was made with our Moon Pantry heirloom raw cacao, reishi and Chaga mushroom, sprouted brown rice protein, and coconut oil. I love chocolate—and on some evenings, I don’t want to deny the indulgence—so I’ve devised a million low glycemic recipes.”

A Polish couple with a young son live next door. Neither speak much English that I know of, although they must have a few words as they both seem to work. Very friendly and polite and always nod, smile or reply when wished good morning etc. Yesterday the young woman, covered in flour, knocked on our door and held out a plate with home baked doughnuts on it. Biggest doughnuts I ever saw, glazed all over with icing sugar and jam filled. They were absolutely delicious. Nice gesture and very much appreciated.

Is Kundalini mediation marriage guidance for spaghetti?

And all produced at a fraction of the cost of Hoboh's neighbourly doughnut offerings.

Should you find yourself in South Cerney, and decide to pop into the Old George Inn, don't bother ordering the shepherd's pie or else you'll end up with this absolute fecking abomination!

[bobo the clown]

^^^ Good grief.

Did it go back ?

[CrazyHorse]

Good call.
I mean who serves shepherd's pie without gravy and where the feck are the chips?

Hell of a head on it - I'd want it topping up at the very least.

Cheers for that, couldn't be bothered googling

I reckon there will be pancakes tonight...just a bit of a punt...

[Bruce Rioja]

Japanese Sencha tea in a never-to-be-repeated experience. No wonder they all have a look of disappointment about them!

[thebish]

on second thoughts - maybe just a bag of crisps!!

[thebish]

does this look even mildly like it could ever be a hygienic way of serving food??

[BWFC_Insane]

Beyond that the food itself looks absolutely vile.
