I'm currently eating the Ruby Cacao Wafers. It is a little disconcerting because I expected sort of a white chocolate with berry undertone...but they really don't taste like white chocolate because you don't get that milky vanilla flavor. There's definitely a tangy/berry undertone but it almost tastes like a base of milk chocolate mixed with white chocolate. I think they would be very nice for dipped berries or cookie drizzle as has been done. I'm one and done on this purchase.

Love me some thumbprints. Cookies+jam (for me) > chocolate cookies. Not that I'd turn down those, either.

There is a chain that has a couple of locations not far from my office called Naf Naf Grill...they serve falafel, chicken shawarma, or steak kebabs in bowls, platters, or pitas. Pretty small menu, not many condiments, but the falafel is fresh, crunchy and tasty, gobbled a pita with falafel/baba ganoush/chopped salad/pickles/tahini after a meeting.

Making sure perishables are getting used up before leaving for vacation Thursday, took a pomegranate apart and ate about 1/3 of the arils (remainder in fridge to eat the next couple of days), cut up a pineapple and ate a little of that (into the fridge for DH's snacking), and some yogurt.

I remembered another one...I love peanut butter. Hate the smell of it when washing it off something in the sink (ie, residual smell on the sponge). Which poses a problem because DH tends to not feel the need to thoroughly rinse the dobie sponge after washing his dishes. I can see the orangey/tan residue on the mesh surrounding the sponge material and I will need to douse it with dish soap and super hot water.

Eggs, the smell turns my stomach. I distinctly recall eating my last mouthful as a very small child. The trend of food porn highlighting runny eggs is incomprehensible to me.

Enablers, all of you. I went to TJ’s and bought a bag of those wafers. Smacked my head later in the day because I really wanted to try the freeze dried grapes and forgot them.

Hubs asked for nachos and guac, it is just the 2 of us. I will put some shredded cooked chicken on top of them, because...dinner. Bought a pint of caramel cone Haagen Das for dessert.

Wegmans supermarket has something which looks similar called "Marco Polo" bread (also a version in bagel form, which is just wrong). I looked at the ingredients online and it does include rice flour.

I haven’t had the pleasure of a wine tour, but know people who do it very regularly and the wineries will pack your wine quite well for either taking on the plane, or they can ship it (probably...I know NJ used to have restrictions on liquor shipments, but thinking that some of that has eased?).

There is a program in the Philadelphia School District (My Daughter’s Kitchen) where a couple of volunteers go in to an elementary school and teach a group of kids how to prepare a simple and nutricious meal, then they eat it together. Many of these inner city kids haven’t had a lot of fresh vegetables, I always enjoyed hearing how they reacted to new things. For a while they had an article each week in the Inquirer food section featuring a specific school and the kids’ experience. It lasts for a semester, and the concept is to teach them basic food prep skills and nutrition awareness. If you have the ability to give some building blocks of healthy yet thrifty food prep, I would think it would be beneficial.

As has befallen others, one step forward and two steps back. Over the long weekend we had tomato soup which had been leftover from Thanksgiving, but I managed to deposit two new containers with leftover quinoa and wild rice. Even so, the freezer is getting better overall, since this has made me more conscious of not having things languish too long...

Pan seared tuna, oven roasted broccoli (cut into thin sticks so plenty of brown edges), wild rice with a little tarragon, mushrooms, shallots, and carrot cut into teeny cubes.

I can't weigh in on food safety, but can add that many clocks do not necessarily reflect the actual duration of the power outage. I know I have one in my house that always comes back to a particular time when power is restored. So I would hesitate to assume the duration of the outage based on the clock's time.

I'm so happy I started using freezer tape for labeling the pyrex lids, I ate the last "mystery meal" over a couple of days last week, it was a kitchen sink lentil/quinoa "stoup" that I certainly could not identify while it was frozen. I think a written inventory this weekend is in order.

Mountain Magic has been my goto tomato for several years. No question there! But consider the economics. Seeds are so expensive there is no reason not to buy plants. I get mine from Burpee.
I hope also to find a Ramapo plant, or I may tackle them from seed. Not something Burpee caries.
Rutgers has some interesting tomato seed varieties that can be ordered online, including Ramapo.

One teriyaki chicken breast (mid-December) and a portion of sliced turkey breast (Thanksgiving) were defrosted and reheated in micro. Served with salad and lentils (cooked with mushroom bullion cube, just the right amt of salt).

I had a really tasty cream of cauliflower soup at a restaurant last night which I am going to try to recreate. It was made with chicken stock, pureed cooked cauliflower, had some small cauliflower bits (like cauliflower “rice”), milk/cream, and garnished with deeply browned fried potato bits.

Carrot cake oreos spotted at Target today, I picked up the package and put it down. Said they had cream cheese frosting flavored filling. Willpower worked today. I was tempted.
