Vegetable pizza, followed by fresh strawberries.

I'm sort of craving pizza or focaccia with tons of black olives.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

A bit of leftover potato/Brussels sprout bake & a bit of my first-ever vegan spinach-artichoke dip (with the tortilla chips purchased earlier).... had a taste and this is really, really f*cking killer sh*t....

Hmm... these new chips are unfortunately quite fragile... gotta fork that dip up on the chip!

Brunch. Crescent rolls, roasted potatoes, gardein sausage, mango orange juice mimosas and coffee.

Radishes and a few peanuts.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

A few tortilla chips & a little of my spinach-artichoke dip....

A glass of sf shandy made with tequila flavoured beer. Very weak and very chilled.

Well, I tried a bite of that "pizza" I made (the other half)... I did the skillet, then the skillet went in the oven... it did indeed crisp up that way... it's just not good. It's like a thick, tough cracker with now-shriveled toppings. But it's the only thing I have to eat, and it will be greatly improved by spreading it with my spinach-artichoke dip (which is SO good, I can't friggin' believe it's vegan!)....

Nothing right now, but... last night I improvised a very simple bean stew: my home-grown blackeyed peas and lovage, cooked with some brown lentils and potato chunks, in enough water to cover in my slow cooker. (If you're not familiar with it, lovage is a perennial herb in the Parsley family with a strong celery flavor.) I soaked the peas overnight beforehand. About 2 hours into cooking my house had this maddeningly good cooked-celery smell.

This stuff is GOOD, even though I added no oil, margarine, soy sauce, or salt; a bit of oil (and some garlic) would have made it better but the cleanup of my slow cooker was a bit easier for my not having used it. The lentils, lovage, and potato added a savory flavor to the rather-bland blackeyed peas. I had some of this over white rice with fresh garlic for lunch.

Over the weekend I had some black walnuts from the tree in my yard for a snack. I had collected some in the autumn of 2015, cleaned them, and stored them in a box in the kitchen, but they weren't rancid- they were still sweet, although many of the kernels were shriveled (they were the same way when I had eaten some of them fresh a year and a half ago). If they weren't so hard to crack I'd have probably finished them. I just go outside, bash 'em with a brick on the sidewalk, pick out the pieces of meat, and start munching. It took a few tries for me to figure out just how much force to use so I'd crack them quickly but not pulverize the nutmeat inside. The squirrels get most of them, but I don't mind; their ancestors planted the tree, after all.

 

[MadamSarcastra]

Some of the aforementioned, improvised, mish-mash casserole thing.... it actually turned out really great! And I haven't had cauliflower is a very long time. Yum! Although, three cruciferous veggies in one dish... ohh, I'm askin' for it.... Sooo, good, though!
