A colorful day from the kitchen
First and most importantly! – Bob is doing well, 1 day post dental. He was my overnight snuggle-boy with less night prowling than usual and today also a bit more sedate, but ate normally and all output normal. I was told that the pain med would make him a bit groggy which explains a bit more low-key behavior, but as he is demanding food per normal and seemingly no difficulty eating…well, I am NOT worried at all.
Meanwhile, speaking of food…
Oh, yum! I used a kolache dough circle from the freezer to make a mini-kale/mushroom/goat cheese “galette” for breakfast…with a side of blood orange slices: colorful, delicious and incredibly good!
“Raw” applesauce for a mid-morning snack. I had two apples that seemed a bit…well, I was ready to throw them out when instead, I quartered and threw them in the VitaMix with a little water and cinnamon and blended. Yowza! VERY good applesauce.
The rest of the blood orange from breakfast was juiced along with a Meyer Lemon and the glass filled with fizzy water for a blood orange-meyer lemon soda. Pretty, colorful and wonderfully refreshing.
Lunch was soup. It looks pretty green, but there are red lentils and sweet potatoes in there. The green is a broccoli-red pepper-cashew-nutritional yeast “cheese” sauce. I added curry spices, cinnamon and red pepper to make a sweet-hot soup.
On to Supper.
It was time to cook burgers for Bear. Earlier in the day, I chopped up 2 spears of asparagus and put them in the jar of pickled onions and cucumbers that I had going.
Supper was a burger with melted gruyere, pickled onions/cucumber/asparagus, a side of kalamata olives and a glass of Pinot Noir.
A colorful (and delicious!!) day from the kitchen.
