What are you eating?

[LKB]

At the moment, I'm snacking on " computer food " ( chips ).

Tomorrow I suspect I'll be back at the diner for eggs.

Do you ever cook at home?  Or buy some healthy takeout:  things like salads, vegs, etc.?  You seem like a "good egg", so I'm hoping that you are being good to yourself. 

Meant kindly,

K

I don't cook, but I do take the trouble to get my vitamins and such.

And I appreciate you, K.  You are definitely a good egg.

On the menu for this weekend:

Broccoli raab with cannellini beans over garlic bread
Cream of celery soup

and not certain what else....

K

p.s.  Had a quick breakfast this morning of scrambled eggs and OJ.  Need to find out where my multi-grain bread is hiding!  Probably a loaf in the downstairs freezer.

Scrambled eggs? I LOVE it!

Scrambled eggs? I LOVE it! 

Yes, I do love my *eggs--preferably farm fresh with the eggs a lovely orange color (but don't get those that often).  And easy to make!

It's no secret that I am a fiend for eggs. I never have fewer than six, and occasionally will have eight... ( but not every week ).

Do you like things like quiches or omelettes?  Fritattas?  You can have them (made for you) made with things like spinach or mushrooms...all kinds of things!

Good ol' Mac & Cheese for lunch along with beet greens and, even as I type, dessert in the form of banana brownies is being baked (with pecans, white chocolate chips and a white-chocolate-chip frosting).

What types of cheese do you like to use in your mac?

Hey K, cheddar usually, but the cheddar/parmesan mix is also quite good. We add Dijon mustard, of course. Prefer Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar (it can never be too sharp; my beloved Granny was fond of saying she liked a cheese that bites her back, I inherited that trait!).

I like Cabot cheeses; they are good and reliable and don't break the piggy bank.  One of the things that I like to make during the summertime (and warmer fall days) is an apple and cheese sandwich using one of their cheddar cheeses and fairly thinly sliced grannysmith apple with some mayo (sometimes with some other add ons).

The beet greens sound good too.  I became a convert to them not too long ago.  I should try sautéing them.  Made the mistake some years ago (after sinking stupid money into a juicer) of adding them to a drink...no, no, no, no, no!

K, If you can get Cabot's New York State Cheddar (used to be called "Hunter's Cheese") it's better than almost anything. In our locale, Walmart has it for an astonishingly low price.  I could have warned you off the juicer for beet greens.  Am going to try your sandwich recommend!  (My wife bakes her own bread, should be good!)

I love a good omelet - my diner makes several which are outstanding - but it costs me double what I pay for six scrambled eggs, and now that I'm on a fixed income I find I need to watch my money closely.

I think that it was turnip greens that I tried to run through it.

Sounds like your wife is quite the baker!  I used to bake bread, but it's been a while.

Thanks for the tip.  Next time that I'm in there, I'll take a look.  I have been lucky at times to find Cabot cheeses on sale at local grocery stores; sometimes, for $2 or $2.50 each.  As it keeps well, I'll often buy a brick or two.  I try and not get too carried away, but my local coop has a great selection of cheeses...hard to resist!    Olives too!
