Lunch Log: Week 216
Some stirring in the household; though whispers of “carb free” are present I am not bound to such things to avoid the creations of victims by an angry me. Though I know many people with stunning results to withhold complex carbohydrates, I am afraid the consequences would be dire if one were to force me […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 214
It’s nice to have a weekend with a household inspired to do foodie things together, but as the week powers on it tends to be short-lived. At least there was a reasonable supply of ingredients to work with and decent-enough weather to get through! July 25 I guess there are worse things to be than […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 213 (and bonus recipe)
As good as very fresh peas are, I’ve not been adventurous as of late – lots of work and other real-life shenanigans. I’d like to put in effort into something like sushi but the availability of ingredients and cutting my rice intake is not helping; so it’s a slew of fairly easy items that barely […]
Lunch Log: (Sorta-diet edition) Week 212
I have lots to be thankful for my workplace – as a small tech company they still remain rather down-to-earth in contrast to careening mindlessly into an aggressive ‘Silicon Valley’ (or in this case: fen) mentality. Oh but they still do keep their traditions (we may be outside Cambridge, but this is still technically is […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 211
Summer months mean the first ‘proper’ wave of festivals so I’ve been feeling exhausted and cautious with filling the house with ingredients – so it’s another stash-heavy week. One addition though is the more steady use of cucumber – which is in my mind easier to deal with lettuce for taste or portions (iceberg) or […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 210
I wasn’t thinking I might try to recreate a pretty famous bento at the start of the week – it just so happened that my original plans at the onset just didn’t really align… at all. I was planning to peak at having a veggie “katsu curry” and be damned the remaining days with whatever […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 209
The gears have been turning faster, so it’s full steam ahead or get crushed! One thing about the warmer season is the introduction of more local produce, and one thing I like is when the local peas are about they are more likely eaten raw than cooked. If I recall, there is a fairy tale […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 208
So far, salads are a great way to diversify my ‘bulk’ section of my lunch but I need to devise more recipes; this time I’ve experimented with a ‘Thai’ style one that uses cabbage. It’s not bad considering all the changes I’ve applied in keeping it low calorie and actually looks attractive. If only this […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 206
A trip into town is exciting because of all the awesome ingredients you can stock up on to make the bestest of food (the quality of food in town is not reliably great despite what you pay for it – and you’ll have to pay well to get the best). One of those results was […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 205
I’ve merged 2 weeks as certain things in my yearly schedule are muddled with schenanigans (I’m still very pleased taking my own food to festivals, thanks). May 17 Nothing like that dieter’s feeling when you spot the konnyaku. But frying it in a very hot pan did wonders. Lunch is lightly teriyaki’d konnyaku, a tiny […]
