Supper/Dinner Time ! What's on the menu?

[Moll Flanders]

I'm having a Greek white bean salad with toasted bread.

Now I have to root for Portugal so Wales can say they played the best team.

I want Portugal to lose as they beat Wales.

I don;t normally consume a raw diet, but I don't feel like cooking with all the heat. This week I thawed out (in the refrigerator) the cooked lentils I made and had frozen last week. I'll probably make a sandwich out of them or something... and have some fruit and romaine lettuce too.

Refried beans over rice with Daiya shreds, homemade salsa and Tofutti sour cream.

In-N-Out fries and a veggie burger. It's the first time I've eaten at In-N-Out in about 10 years and the first time having fast food fries in over 4 years.

I'm going to have the vegan crack potatoes that I made in the VV cook-fest along with corn on the cob and a Fry's Asian spiced burger.

Was it nice after all that wait?

Eating Durian with my colleagues

Cool! I've never heard of Durian.

Oh! You are missing something!

Durian is famous - well, let us better say "notorious" - for being the fruit that is banned in hotels, airplanes, taxis, and so on due to its strong and distinctive smell.

You could say that it is "an acquired taste", but it is definitely an experience.

World’s smelliest durian fruit goes on sale in UK for first time
Foul-smelling fruit sparks Plymouth city centre evacuation

I should add that there are actually 9 people in my team, but when my colleague made the suggestion to go for vegan lunch and then afterwards for Durian, only 4 of us were interested, the other ones politely declined

Best regards,
Andy

I've heard it described as the fruit that smells like Hell and tastes like Heaven. One of these days I'd like to try Durian... but one of the articles mentioned that it tends to be both large and expensive. My sense of smell isn't particularly acute so I don't know if the odor would bother me, but even I have my limits and I'd rather not spend a small bundle on a food that I turned out not to like and most likely wouldn't be able to GIVE away. But I live reasonably close to New York City, and I bet I'd be able to sample some Durian there.

Andy, I couldn't help noticing that the store where you were all sitting appeared to be a place that specializes in Durian.

 

[Tom L.]

Allrighty, then- they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a video of people trying Durian for the first time.

I DEFINITELY have to get together with some daring, adventurous friends and try one of these.

My intrigue has now turned to fear, lol.

I am having the other half the cajun tempeh wrap and the rest of the sweet potato fries that I got at ION Restaurant downtown. I did my long walk today, so I treated myself to a nice lunch and a vegan cupcake (lemon drop) from the Nora cupcake place down the street.

You're so very good.

Awww, thank you, though it would have been better if I'd actually skipped the cupcake. I couldn't resist the lemon one, though.

Whatever for ? Life is too short not to eat cupcakes.

That was my thinking after the half-second of thinking maybe I shouldn't get it.

I have one corn tortilla left, some Cauldron sausages, red roast peppers and guacamole sot that is dinner sorted.
