Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[motojobobo]

Great baking today guys! Please keep it up as I enjoy reading it during our lockdown and may even convince me of trying my hand out at making bread.

Brunch burritos with eggs, sliced avocado, refried beans, pico de gallo and some shredded pork

[Giles]

Yep…..

@Chris  In my 20’s, I would have eaten that “salad”.

[Giles]

On Friday when I went to the supermarket, there was lots of fresh fruit and veg discounted to laughable levels ( a sad indictment of or local populous imo).  Packets of heritage tomatoes - 12 cents, packets of fresh green beans - 10 cents, and fresh mangoes - 11 cents each…..

So I bought a bunch of the mangoes and am now converting them into chutney....

[BD81]

Nice! It would go great with pakoras or some naan .

[Giles]

[Seul]

Eleven cents for a bleeding mango?.. You can't even make one for that money!..

[Giles]

[Giles]

Good luck…..

I think I’ve posted this a while back, but seeing as I mentioned high calorie «salads», here you go:

This was dinner today. Chorizo, chick peas, preserved bell pepper and coriander. Served with a large dollop of creme fraiche. About 750 cals per serving (or two of the vanilla buns I made on Saturday ).

[BD81]

That looks delicious… are you vegetarian ?

[BD81]

I thought chorizo was plant based sausage.. my bad lol

It is pretty meaty

Although a lot of out family meals are vegan, and more still vegetarian. I eat meat about two or three times a month. I believe it is called flexitarianism.

[Seul]

Didn't know you ate that little meat, nephy… Obviously a GREAT decision imo 

[Seul]

(On the other hand I don't care if one eats meat two times a day or a month; not my fucking business innit…)

[goosehd]

@neph93 Now that is something I would eat today (closer to 50).  Looks delicious and I bet that you could manage the calories by watching the amount of creme fraiche used and (big if) you could eat a normal serving.

I seriously doubt that I could.

Who needs meat?

The less meat we eat the more we recognize that we actually don’t need it.
We had a beef stew yesterday, still half of it in the fridge. Todays Wok with Tofu is empty…

[Seul]

Eww tofu 

(I'd eat the shit outta that though…)

[Chap]

@Seul:

Thinking about making my own Tofu… Yeah too much time at home atm  ::)
