What We Eat
Jun 29, 2003 food, keepingItTogetherShare/Save
In keeping with the previous post, I’ve decided to examine my own terrible eating habits and see how they can be improved. Cooking at home is the focus here. My question to all, rather, both of my loyal readers is:
What do you eat at home? Descriptions of complete meals, general concepts, which ingredients you buy at the supermarket, recipes – all of these are welcome here.
I’ll kick it off. Cereal for breakfast. Most common dinner options: couscous, tofu marinated with soy-sauce-ginger-honey, tuna salad, assorted canned soups and meals, hamburgers. Favorite ingredients: tofu, broccoli, scallions, string beans, sesame oil, chicken breast, soy yogurt, Grape Nuts 
.
So who’s gonna bite?

Very simple, really:
Breakfast: sausage, egg and cheese onna roll
Dinner: Lean Cuisine (Chicken Carbonara is my favorite) and a salad.
I’ve always been a creature of habit.

Breakfast: nutrigrain bar or muffin or cereal or two egg whites on a roll. Lunch: Sandwich Dinner: I’m a big fan of morningstar farms fake meat products. I’m not a vegetarian, but I do like fake meat. I usually will eat this with a frozen vegetable–well its not frozen when I eat it of course. Vegetables are key. Also rice sometimes. I can provide specific recommendations on how to prepare fake meat products into delicious entrees for anyone who is interested.

Hey, I’m totally interested. Spill it…

Alright, here’s one for starters:
Malibu “Chicken”
The combination of flavors–fake chicken, fake pork and swiss–plus the combination of textures–the crispy chick patty and the gooey melted cheese–make this a personal favorite.

Morning Star Farms is my god-food. I love it.
I will write more later, gotta go turn my veggie burger over (seriously, I do!).

Like I said earlier, Morning Star Farms is what I eat the most on any day. I also have mashed potatoes, salads (real ones — not just lettuce), fries, apples, ice cream, string cheese… hrmm… my eating habits are not to be replicated. Based on what I eat daily, I should be about 200 lbs larger.

I am so glad to know here are other people out there who like Morning star farms “fake Meat ” products. I have been eating them my entire life. I grew up in a Seventh day adventist household where most meats were forbidden. So we ate a lot of “wham” “grillers” and morning star farm breakfast patties.among other things. I have 4 children who also eat them. I have fooled many a die hard meat eter with the grillers and meat crumbles. I am not a vegitarian by any means but I do like these products alot. I could not imagine my diet without them.

Almost a year later, I have finally gotten around to trying these “Morning star farms” burgers.
Yikes, these things are nasty. And expensive.
Please try again.

My parents used to buy some veggie burgers that were really quite good. They were made of mushrooms and grains, plus some other stuff.. but that was the bass. They were super tasty. Get those!!
love, eocs

I will go to the supermarket tomorrow and pick them up. Would they be in the “nameless stuff soce’s parents used to buy” aisle?

Gardenburgers are made out of grains and mushrooms . . . but also, sadly, cheese. Most of the non-soy-based burger products have some cheese in there to hold things together. Mmm, cheese. I mean, um, sorry, my sympathies.

Hello!

Err.. “but that was the base”…

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Bootsy Collins on mushrooms. Grains from the sea!
Oh, hello, WeirD.
wait, what?

LOL,… wtf??

Total non sequitur, but Bootsy reminded me of it–don’t know if I ever mentioned this, but when I was in Philly in August briefly I visted a friend who’s getting a PhD at Wharton (some of you may remember Alex Leeds) and got into a conversation with the front-desk security guard while I waited for him. We got to talking about music, in particular about P-Funk’s classic stage show, and the guy said, “Ever see a guy playing guitar in a diaper?” I was like, yeah, I remember seeing that. So he says, “That’s me.” I’m said no way, but he had a scrapbook and everything. Charles Johnson, I think his name was. He played bass with George Clinton’s group during the Bootsy era.
Funny, huh? I find it a little sad that he’s doing security to pay the rent, but he didn’t seem at all downtrodden, if anything really happy and outgoing. Talked about the relationships he formed with a lot of the students and how much he liked them.

Wait, wait, wait. Bootsy played bass during the Bootsy era. Hence my terrible, and apparently much unloved, pun above.
