Whatcha Eatin?

A quinoa & palm heart salad plus granary baguette and spread.
Apricots.
Melon & strawberry flavoured water.

I was meant to be having lunch at my pal's in the Luberon but it's postponed until
Monday due to bad weather.

I just had a decaff oat milk mocha frappe & chocolate praline brownie at the local coffee shop.

There must be a few of us vegans around here as there are quite a few options for such a small countryside town!

Flat peaches (they're also called "Paraguayan peaches" here). But... i've devoured all of them already. Time to go downstairs and have "breakfast" (it's 1.25p.m., haha).

I had wholemeal toast with Violife cream cheese for breakfast, along with a berry flavoured water.

A YouTuber was saying how good the feta Violife is, I'm not sure that I have tried that one yet...

My another typical night meal (at the country this time). Ordinary peaches. They are not big, but super sweet and juicy.

+This night i'll be devouring alychaa (wild plums) and hybrid apples (of Granny Smith and Reinette Simirenko cultivars).
This means, no more chocolate at night!:pride: (And no more "spontaneous" exacerbations of COPD). :apple:
 
Those peaches look excellent, @Val !! I love almost all fruit. The one exception might be cataloupe or similar melon- but I'll happily eat those if they're offered in a meal. I just wouldn't grow or buy them. I love watermelons, though! (I have some seeds from some mini-watermelons I grew myself a year or two ago, but it seems I inadvertently planted some butternut squash seeds last fall and I don't think I'll have room for watermelon vines.)

This past weekend at the farmer's Market, I bought a pint each of apricots and sweet cherries, as well as about 9 small Stayman Winesap apples. The cherries and apricots didn't last long. 🤤

I mentioned that edible weed I have growing in my yard (Garlic Mustard). I was working in my yard today and decided to pull a few of them and eat them raw- it only was about a cupful of loosely packed leaves and stems. They didn't make me sick, but this is one food I REALLY prefer cooked. I plan to have some tomorrow with rice, garlic scapes, and a little vegetable oil.

Speaking of which... I do like oil/fat in general, and I've been using canola oil for its omega-3 fatty acid content... but I think my waist is expanding slowly. I might have to cut back a bit on the stuff.

I need more peaches! I've had good ones this year, and unlike last year, the hard ones ripen really fast!
I'm about done with fruit from Aldi, mostly I guess. I had super good cherries from the produce market and Fresh Thyme, then got a bag from Aldi for 1.29 a pound and they weren't nearly as good!
Watermelon and organic grapes and strawberries have been delicious!

I just had some cabbage, potatoes and onions. Was sooooo tempted to cook up some Beyond Sausage with it but I stayed strong :sadnod:

That is so so good that you love watermelons! I wish i could like them as much as i like kiwies, e.g., or asian pears.:???: Unfortunately, i don't like their taste at all, and they make me sick, because they lower my low acidity to zero level.:lol: The same is with melons and raw cucumbers. But if i still CAN eat a piece or two of a melon,- i can't eat cucumbers, because i really dislike them. At first, i was trying to make myself eat them, because they are cheap, but then decided: "Why should i abuse myself? There are plenty of veggies around, i can find some other!" Luckily, i love cabbage and various cruciferous veggies.😋
 
Hippeas cheesy chickpea puffs
I really like those!

I just had a “fish” fillet sandwich. It was so good. I chopped pickles and added them to some vegan mayo, melted a slice of violife cheese on a gardein fish fillet and had it on a bun. :lick:
