Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 182
Getting in the experimental mood with shapes and flavours, as the #OnigiriAction continues. It would be good to do a ‘contest level’ lunch but I’m just not feeling it yet. Only if the flavours and thus the contents are something I’m happy with I might try, but that would mean taking photos in an English […]
Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 181
“A pox upon your houses” – someone cursing me, probably. It’s been rather virulent of late; at work as well as the local have been struck which makes me a conduit in making this flu (or flus) rather successful. Well, #OnigiriAction is still a-go! October 24 Brought down by a head cold on Sunday so […]
Lunch Log: Onigiri Action Week 180
I was pretty much flagging about lunch – complacency into cheese toasties and depression into how much weight I’ve gained over the years – when it was a news story I read in a foreign tabloid ‘news’ paper that I discovered the World Food Day Campaign. Despite the name, the campaign is to run from […]
Lunch Log: (Sporadic) Week 178
Right at the end of summer, the beer schedule is still rather full and lunch has been sometimes catered by the work toastie machine* so updates have remained sporadic. However, as part experiment, part health incentive the household is under “Vegtember” lockdown: no meat-derived protein for a month. So far it’s been a interesting, but […]
Lunch Log: (Sporadic) Week 177
The intermittent fasting continues as sporadic as the lunch entries, though the quiet log days do not reveal what was dinner there wasn’t much to report there either. Considering that, this means that there were days which the best way to dispose of leftovers (and foods approaching their best before date) was to eat them […]
Lunch Log: Week 176
In the pursuit of healthier/ethical eating, I’ve attempted to go retro and cook a veggie chilli. It surprises me that I’ve not personally tried this before but after the other half’s past attempt it was easy to realize that the cupboard was ready. This was a lentil-based chilli, and for a first attempt I thought […]
Lunch Log: (Sporadic) Week 175
On Sunday, I had the most appalling “Japanese” meal. Call it nostalgia for the fresh seafood of Sydney and despite the fact that experience has told me that it was not to be in cloistered, ignorant Cambridge – or perhaps post beer festival fatigue – I agreed. It was not just the seafood. The entire […]
Lunch Log: Week 174
Whew, another festival! Before falling into the familiar (and delicious) trap of karaage, I got to try out a new way to do chicken – and it’s bloody awesome! One day I should try to actually match my sidedishes better – or at least have them come from the same country/region, but that would require […]
Lunch Log: Week 173
When one is exhausted, the familiar becomes a comfort. In this case: carrots, tomato, steamed broad beans, spinach, potato salad. Nothing too extravagant, but decent flavours and enough variety to stave boredom. May 31 A simple comfort for a rainy day. And really fast to prepare. Another pimped up instant ramen with spring onion, homemade […]
Lunch Log: Week 172
Finally, at the bookend of May – and another exhausting beer festival! What I like about investing the time to make meals when at the venue is the smugness I get when looking at the line of food vans while I have my tasty food AND feel the money left in my pocket. IN UR […]
