that's just cuz you said strictly :D

I know I know..

i'm workin on it, you don't have to guilt me like Peter Tosh sang "I-man don't, drink yellow blue green soda pop.. soda pop.."

Itality is difficult, truthfully I have only been living to its ideals for the past year and a half, this time 2007 I was eating cheeseburgers and smoking tobacco :)

today, soda pop and the occasional fruit snack candy still get me with artificial non-food substances.. but I'm getting close :)

no animal fats, no meats, no eggs, no milk..

Cereal in the morning. Cheese and ham sandwiches and chocolate milk for lunch. And I will be having chilli for dinner. woo

There is no way that I could eat only that in a day.

Today thus far, just up to lunch.
Bagel with cream cheese.
Small cup of milk.
Two hard boiled eggs.
hand full of cheezits
Protein powder drink
A chicken drum stick
Mini pizza

ha ha, im not guilting you for your diet bro, i'm just for accurate use of language. if you had said "mostly ital", then the rock wouldn't have given you the eyebrow :)

btw, i tried being vegan and it SUCKED, so i wouldn't blame anyone for breaking ranks with that ideology.



sockeye salmon is yummy!!!

i can't eat that much fruit. my tongue starts to burn from all the acidity.
and he drinks coke with that. damn

w/ a sliced banana and some fresh blueberries.

i bought a cabbage the other day and didnt know what to do with it.
i looked at all kinds of recipes yesterday and was always missing some ingrediant.
in the end i cut up half the cabbage, but it in a pot with onions garlic, chicken, vinegar, chilli, ginger and a few other ingrediant. it came out really good.

anybody have recommendations for what to do with the other half of the cabbage?

currently cooking boston baked beans, hmmm looking forward to it as i started the process last night and it takes approximately six hours to cook.... mmmmmmm pork hock falling apart in my mouth... that's what i'm talking about....

how's the anaemia working out for you???

hmm, today.

off-brand lucky charms with milk.
2 eggs and 6 strips of bacon.
2 ham and cheese sammiches with spicy mustard and hanover's cheddar pretzel pieces.
yogurt plain with raisins

yeah. slice it really thin. they way i do that is i cut the thing lengthwise in quarters, then i proceed to slice it as if it was a loaf of bread, but really thin. this gives you a shredded cabbage.

then look for other vegetables to add to the mix. i like carrot, which i shred by hand, and some nice beets, for sweetness (i like the bullseye beets over the traditional one), and either daikon or radishes for a spicy twist. these vegetables have to be in the minority-- add them for flavor, but not to dominate. the key is i think to find a nice balance of flavors to build around the bland but good cabbage.

once you've got all that, you add some apple cider vinegar. not too much, just a splash. the vinegar adds nice acidity and helps to soften the vegetable fiber. then for taste you can add a nice splash of orange juice. if you don't have apple cider vinegar you could use wine vinegar, white might work better with the orange juice, if you use red then probably don't add the orange-- might taste like rotten orange and that's not what you want.

eat this fresh, don't let it get soggy, especially if you used orange. if it's vinegar-only, it will last you into the next day. if you are going to make it your only dish you can add protein in the form of hemp seed, almonds, tofu cubes, sesame seeds, or whatever. i like to eat my cabbage salad next to a nice piece of grilled chicken or some fried codfish or something like that. i would not combine it with eggs: too much sulfur in the farts.

if this recipe is not to your taste go ahead and google "coleslaw". there will be some hideous recipes lurking for sure (with lots of sugar and mayonnaise and distilled white vinegar which is only good for window-washing), but you're bound to find something satisfying eventually.

as you develop this recipe you can make it your own. i'd add shredded apple instead of beets, or use sesame oil for an asian flavor, use purple cabbage, try herbs you might like (parsley? dill?), see what happens with lime juice instead of vinegar, etc. think of the cabbage as a canvas and the other ingredients as your paint.

for dinner i had an organic chicken breast sauteed in safflower oil with shallots and collard greens and a splash of soy sauce, it was fucking delicious. then i had blueberries for dessert.

for lunch i made a salmon salad with celery, red onions, capers and the just amount of good quality mayo, on a bed of green lettuce, with ripe tomatos on the side. then we cracked pecans at the table and devoured their insides while we talked. a bit later later we ate some slices of a very good aged cheddar. followed by a nap.

i spend a lot of time thinking about food and its endless joys.

haha. i think some day i will be like that.

i think i have some kind of knack for it. i just lack the desire to want to cook all the time. i guess as i get older and more patient, the desire will appear.

it's not patience, it's HUNGER. i started seriously cooking when i was 19 and came home with the munchies to see stale processed food in the fridge and said NO! NEVER AGAIN! come to think of it, a lot of my pothead friends were fat. we'd get blazed and invent new dishes. "experiments in microwave radiation".

then i quit smoking weed but the cooking stuck.

but i cook more often since i work at home now that i think about it.
