Day 2 of vegan lunches from the meal plan. Today was a noodle bowl with hummus sauce, some edamame, baked tofu, arugula, and diced tomatoes. Really tasty. These vegan meals are really quite filling!

We'd come back from the boozer, around 11pm, and make Cheese, Beetroot and Onion sandwiches, with a splash of Salad Cream. What a way to go to bed!!

Never had it with cheese. Next time?

Curious…when you say “butternut pumpkin,” is that what you’re calling this:

That’s what we’d call butternut squash, to differentiate it from these:

When I was a kid, we’d grow pumpkins (that second pic) and use those for feed for our cows and hogs. I used to either chop them up with a big machete or for fun, get one and climb up on the fence with it, then throw it down as hard as I could to bust it open. Once the animals could get a start on it, it didn’t last long.

Both pics from Wikipedia

Yes the first pic is butternut second is squash. I roast both.

Fajitzas. A restaurant that was next door to where DD had a part-time job as a college student came up with the idea for these. They used to try out their new ideas on the college kids employed where DD was, basically guinea pigs for free food, the kids loved the restaurant. The fajitzas were a HUGE hit with the kids and subsequently restaurant patrons.

They used extra large tortillas, 14 and 16 inch, but we just used the large burrito size. Oiled and pre baked until they started to crisp. Taco sauce or a cooked, strained salsa, Mexican blend shredded cheese, onion and bell pepper strips precooked with some garlic, and just barely cooked extremely thin sliced rib eye with fajita seasoning. Crema drizzled on after baking.

Yesterday ...

Chicken Pot Pie, made all from scratch ingredients, well, there was that leftover Costco Rotisserie Chicken that I picked and used the carcass for Stock... but I made the All-Butter Crust and gravy for the filling.

 

[TastyReuben]

Canned tomato soup and salad - didn’t want to cook since I was in the office today.

 

[Herbaceous]

Mexican shrimp bowl - shrimp over sauteed veg, with homemade salsa and pre-made guacamole from HelloFresh.

No pic but I sliced a big chunk of aged cheddar cheese. Man it's good.
Wifes getting her hair done so free for a few hours. Tea??.

Tea at Indian joint. I forgot. Syndicate do so copious amounts of booze.

Reasonably obvious, toast and peanut butter, toast and jam.

Store-bought meatballs (very bland, won't be buying them again anytime soon), served over buttered rice, tomato sauce, and pecorino romano for dinner last night.

Vegan lunch meal plan day 3 - avocado-chickpea smash sandwich. I make chickpea smash sandwiches regularly, but I usually use vegan mayo in them. The avocado was a nice change of pace. I just topped the sandwich with some tomato and arugula.

 

[rascal]

I had mint chicken tikka last night followed by butter chicken and a keema naan.
And a shot of agave tequila. And a pilsner.
