Snacking while eGulleting...(Part 1)

[Xanthippe]

A small dish of lemon-and-oregano-seasoned tuna mousse (just prepared it for dinner, which is still several hours hence), a half-dozen crostini, and a glass of iced, filtered water with Meyer lemon.

Stewed rhubarb over vanilla ice cream. Yum!

[torakris]

Just finishing up lunch a bowl of Japanese rice topped with leftover broccoli and sugar snap pea blackbean stirfry with 1/2 an onion stirfried in.

A fortune cookie. Fortune: You will make a sudden rise in life. Quite a good one to add the phrase "in bed" to.

a coconut dosa smeared with some cashew chutney and a smidge of mango powder

bedtime soon,

Soba

Stewed rhubarb over vanilla ice cream.  Yum!

I just had that, only over an oat apricot scone instead of ice cream.... so goood.

Not to mention how well it accompanied the combination Jerk Chicken and Catfish that I just got from Jamerica. Now, I am officially full. Thank you Martin!

[torakris]

caught me at snack time an ume (Japanese plum) daifuku and Lady Grey Straight tea in a bottle, cold.

[sandra]

Orange and cucumber slices sprinkled with Tajin (Mexican chile/salt/lemon powder)

[Shiewie]

Late afternoon snack of an orange, some rambutans and half a you tiao.

Balthazar chocolate bread. I don't get it.

Hey, we do that as well -- except we add "between the sheets" to the fortune!

[Xanthippe]

Balthazar chocolate bread.  I don't get it.

You don't get chocolate bread, or Balthazar's chocolate bread??

[elyse]

Balthazar's chocolate bread is the only one I've had. Is there a point?

Balthazar's chocolate bread is the only one I've had.  Is there a point?

I get chocolate bread. It's unique -- chocolate + yeast bread. Central Market makes one with cherries in it and it's pretty good once you get used to the idea.

What I don't get is chocolate muffins. Why not call them cupcakes?

[elyse]

So, do you toast it and eat it with butter? Do you just rip it apart? Eat it cold with butter? I have one small piece left.

[pixelchef]

Personally, I'd eat chocolate bread with peanut butter.

[torakris]

currently eating breakfast:

iced coffee

last piece of the orange semolina cake

[elyse]

Good idea Chris.

[Xanthippe]

Good idea Chris.

Ditto the peanut butter.

But I'm actually confused (hardly unusual for me!): Are we talking chocolate bread as in pain du chocolate, or a chocolate quick bread??

[elyse]

Neither. It's a chocolate yeast bread. Every blue moon there's a chunk of chocolate, but not nearly enough. And the crumb is chocolate too, but not enough chocolate for me.

[Marlene]

Butter tart square. Fresh out of the oven about half an hour ago. Recipe courtesy of Pixelchef. YUM!!!!

[Rachel Perlow]

A galaktoboureko from Greek Village in Northvale, NJ. Yum.

[elyse]

Indian corn. Eh.

[torakris]

crunchy peanut butter and raspberry jam on white bread and water

[Xanthippe]

Neither.  It's a chocolate yeast bread.  Every blue moon there's a chunk of chocolate, but not nearly enough.  And the crumb is chocolate too, but not enough chocolate for me.

Ah, so I'm not missing anything! Do you like pain du chocolate, elyse?
