What did you cook today?

Hurry, Peng. You gotta eat!

Bit of an odd breakfast here today. Sardine sandwich on caraway rye bread and pink tomato slices with Thousand Island dressing.




And looky Bassline… blue cornbread!

 

what the fuck? corn is not blue so how is that corn bread?

 

Blue corn exists (naturally, no food coloring), just like there's some blue potatoes.

Yay Lucy, this looks great!

 

I wonder if blue corn tastes like grapes..

 

A couple of "Not Dogs" for lunch.....;-)

 

For breakfast ham and cheese, and coconut milk on cinnamon Apples. Why I'm here still.

 

Don't listen to Bassline, Peng, it's magic. Fairies come out at night and paint the corn blue!

 

Was that from organic blue corn meal? From what I understand organic is the only corn that is supposed to be GMO free.
GMO corn supposedly doesn't have the flavor of heirloom variety's and unfortunately most native variety's that survived up until just this last couple of decades in Mexico have been wiped out, not only due to market forces eliminating the profit margins for the small farmers that grew them, but cross contamination from GMO crops have ruined the genetics. These are sad days for corn indeed..

Some native variety's

 

Made a beef stir fry tonight and served it on jasmine rice. Side of tomato, cucumber, celery and red onion salad dressed in with balsamic and lemon olive oil.

 

Indeed there's a LOT of GMO corn on the market, this is usually what traditional farmers choose to grow. The only way to avoid it pretty much is to choose organic, because being GMO-free is a prerequisite for organic certification so you can't go wrong with that.

 

it was a taco night

 

Tonight I made some pea soup with tomato sandwiches and corn on the cob, it was simple but damn good.

 

Pea Soup, Don’t suppose you invited Linda Blair over for dinner?



Hotwater

 

^^^LoL

 

I used some of my tomatoes and made a bisque for supper. Served it with open face rye bread topped with dijon, smoked honey ham and smoked gouda which I broiled until it was all melted.

 

I finally remembered the name for those ...Welsh rarebit!

 

i bought 2 small eye of round pepper steaks then cut them into 4 thin ones so they cook faster

and a small can of corn

i am stuffed full

 

Just had the best rack of barbecue pork ribs ever...*Meat lover,guilty as charged*.

 

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! (with the old rep system I would just have left this in the rep comment )
