I suppose someone would think this is a good idea (although certainly no one on this site) 😇

Dinner from last weekend of pork back ribs. last season's bush beans, not sure what the pasta dish was but tasted good and tomatoes. Local N.S. Boxing Rock Irish Stout.

Breakfast wrap of egg, onion, 3 pepper (yellow bell, shishito and red Thai), pepper jack and cilantro on a WW tortilla. Tomato on the side.

Today was the switch to DST. I would really like to see that anachronism disappear. Yesterday: soft scrambled eggs, leftover potato with mushrooms and peppers, WW English muffin with crabapple habanero jelly. Today: breakfast sandwich from the bottom lettuce, tomato, egg with green onion, green Cholula, cheddar and ham on a WW English muffin. Grapefruit and apple mix on the side.

Those are the avocados I get here and they're 5-6 in a mesh bag. The thing about avocados is that they mature on the tree however only ripen after being harvested and at room temp. So they're shipped refrigerated, and in my experience usually rock hard, so just put them in the frig crisper to impede the ripening. Take one out when you plan on having one to ripen (may take a day or three).

Very impressive mural. Thanks.

Spicy shrimp and haddock onigirazu with pickled zucchini. I ended up having two.

@Maison Rustique Now is that 'WOW I have Spam leftovers!' or 'That was why I haven't had a Spam sandwich for decades'?

A couple of recent quick dinners. Shrimp roe noodles, shrimp and freezer sugar snap peas pan fried with chili oil, garlic and ginger. Homemade cretons on toasted baguette with mustard and green tomato chowchow. Avocado and mixed greens salad on the side.

Soft scrambled eggs with about 2 Tbsp. of duxelles mixed in, toasted baguette with crabapple habanero jelly, a mix of orange and last season's foraged blackberries and blueberries.

Two egg omelet with a potato, mushroom, pepper and green onion filling, tomato and baguette with crabapple habanero jelly. Served with a navel and blood orange mix and a PC Low Na+ 8 veg juice.

Colcannon patties, soft scrambled eggs and cherry tomatoes.

Only if you want to make it more difficult and a harder workout.

A bit out of left field but here's my $0.02. If that brick of parm was mine I would put it into a large ziplock bag, wrap that in an old towel as to not damage the bag, and take a hammer, or preferably a mallet, and slowly and methodically smash it into powder and chunks. Keep at it until you're happy with what you have. You'll have powder, to use as is, and chunks that can be used to flavour soups, sauces and stews. Chunks can go in the freezer for future use.

Read the ingredients list of most of those products and you'll find 'modified palm oil and modified palm kernel oil'. 'Modified', from an organic chemistry perspective, means hydrogenated.

I've been seeing this for quite a while when grocery shopping (Canada). In the dairy section there's products labelled butter, margarine and plant based butter. Plant based 'butter' is margarine but usually with fancier packaging and a higher price. Not for me.

A simple early dinner after a busy day. Haddock chowder.

Breakfast sandwich of, from the bottom, mashed avocado, lettuce, tomato and an egg scrambled with a few chopped shrimp, green onion and Thai chili. Served with a mixture of grapefruit, navel and blood orange and a V8.

Thanks. I wash and slice then lay out on trays to freeze then bag. When I take out a portion I mix them with about a Tsp. of orange, grapefruit or other citrus juice and let them thaw overnight in the fridge.

A leisurely Sunday morning breakfast of English muffin french toast, sausage and peaches out of the freezer. From the looks of things today will be the third consecutive day of not having to shovel snow, it's looking like a sunny day, so a long hike is the plan for the day.

Eggs soft scrambled with mushrooms, shishito peppers and green onions with toasted WW English muffins with crabapple habanero jelly.

@Norm Matthews Adding to what others have said your son's friend sounds like an insecure asshole who has to 'prove' he's better. His parents should have taught him better manners.

Weather has been 'interesting' for the last few weeks with yoyoing temps and lots of 'snow relocation activity' so usually the same quick breakfast sandwich and fruit with yogurt. Egg, ham, cheddar, lettuce and tomato (in there but hidden) with habanero hot sauce on a toasted WW English muffin.

A very early dinner today. Attended a benefit event at the local Legion for Soupfest 2025. Cost was $10 Cdn. and was sold out before the doors opened. A lot of very good soups however for me the standouts were the sweet potato maple bisque, the marry me chicken soup and the Nigerian pepper soup. Portions were generous and I'm most likely good until breakfast tomorrow.

Sunday dinner of pork tenderloin stuffed and rolled with a mushroom, greens (chard, beet, radish from last season), onion, feta and herbs mixture. Sides of last season's green and yellow bush beans, potatoes with chives and parsley and some quick pickled cucumber (in repurposed pickled beet brine). Not the most elegant of plating but tasted good.
