tonight was hot pot. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Hot_pot
If you've never had it, it's one of the most fun and tasty casual kind of dinners you can do. My favorite part is, of course, grilling the super thin-sliced meats around the outside of the soup pot, and concocting a dipping sauce to my own taste. Plus looking at all the weird tentacles and crap on the buffet next to the cut up hot dogs, vegetables, fish, and other assorted goodies.

I've been on a 21 day "purification" diet (I can assure you it hasn't helped my thoughts in the least) that is mainly eat as much fruit and vegetables as I want: a mix of raw and cooked, a couple of protein smoothies a day, and lots of water. after day 11 or so you can add a small amount of chicken. So tonight is officially day 15 and unofficially day 24 (I had a week of one toe in the water so to speak) and I bought a chicken at the farmer's market from a friend's farm. roasted with yams, steamed broccoli and zucchini fried in butter.

I love chicken.

I also lost 14 pounds despite sitting on my less fat ass in front of the computer. Amazing what not stuffing my face with bread will do.

Tonight it's pork chops with pears. Plus some veggie side, but I haven't committed to what kind yet.

Those peeled asparagus were awesome. I'd never tried peeling them before.

Thanks! I stole the idea during my one outing to a fancy restaurant in the last year.

leftover what? ravioli in a can?

i kinda miss those days. a buddy and i lived across the block from one another, wanted to share wi-fi. we needed directional antennas. so we bought two of those giant ravioli cans of chef boyardee and sat down and over the course of a day, we demolished them. may have shared with some passing visitors too, i forget now. breakfast, lunch, and dinner, though. cold out of a can. it was.. glorious?

It's funny to listen to stories from the Days of Yore when part of the story includes sharing "wi-fi"!

Tonight is probably going to be either cold sesame noodles - i have a killer recipe if anyone is interested. it's cheap and delicious - or mabo dofu, which is ground pork, tofu, and peas in a varyingly spicy sauce (depending on how to you make it). Unless I go off completely and grill some chicken or something but that's pretty unlikely given that it's 4785398758462872 degrees out and i just made chicken to put in the noodles.

also, in case anyone wondered: i love food.

Ooh, I'd like your sesame noodle recipe, and if you're feeling generous, your mabo (mapo?) dofu!

Arigato!
