Earlier I had a nice hot bowl of hotdog stew that I made the other day. And right now I'm having a big bowl of iceberg lettuce with
"grilled" chicken breast that was marinated in Italian dressing, and tossed with blue cheese dressing. Yum!! ππππ
Just finished a dinner of pancakes - leftover batter from yesterday when my granddaughter was visiting for a couple of days. She loves my pancakes.
sharesteel cut oats with blueberries for breakfast.
peanut butter sandwich for lunch.
red thai curry with potatoes, kale, chickpeas, tofu & peas for dinner.
Vegan?
sharebasically.
i will still have eggs & cheese when i go to my mom's place for lunch.
up until about 5 months ago i will still vegetarian, but i got internet shamed into going full vegan in august, lol.
Never be swayed by the internet. If you enjoy being vegetarian, then be vegetarian.
shareoh i'm joking when i say i was shamed.
more so that i got pushed in a direction by a twitter thread.
it was something that i knew i should have done years ago, but i'd let myself coast rather than pushing myself.
and a bunch of folks on twitter said something obvious: if you believe the things you believe, then to be logically consistent, you ought to do this. & i realized they were right!
So then no leather shoes, belts etc, things like that??
shareright.
for holiday meals, i'll always make an exception and have christmas turkey and easter ham with my mom & sisters.
and i'll also occasionally eat deer meat. i know some hunters, and they'll occasionally set me up with a bit of venison. i have no issue eating hunted meat. that's an ethical exemption that i allow myself. most vegans would call that disqualifying, i guess, but i'm not interested in that kind of puritanism.
ut that doesn't come my way very often. in fact, i don't believe i've received any in about 2 years.
and, though i haven't worn leather or anything like that in ages, i guess i would buy it if it was second hand, since in that case money wouldn't be going into the producers.
not to prattle on about myself!
So healthy! Love!!!!
shareI had Mr Noodles soup and a ham and cheese sandwich.
shareI made an apple cinnamon crumb coffee cake for breaky and my son just made me a spaghetti dinner.

shareWhat is hot dog stew?
I had soup today too, with broccoli and pelmeni (dumplings kinda) and I just finished a green leaf salad with apple pieces, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds with a homemade strawberry garlic vinaigrette.
Oh yum!!!!
Sliced hot dogs with carrots, string beans, onion, garlic, peas, (whatever veggies you want) in a thick broth of water, tomato sauce, a can of chilli (without beans for lowcarb or with beans for regular), some beef bullion (sometimes I use ham bullion), Italian seasonings, salt, pepper, and whatever other seasoning you'd like (adobo, garlic powder, onion powder etc). I make mine lowcarb so I don't put any potatoes, pasta, or rice in mine. For regular, potatoes are the way to go.
That sounds not too bad.
I will admit that I pictured hot dog water and thought ewww. Lol. Although I know a lot of my friends who had never had pickle soup imagined warm pickle brine, so that's why I asked.
It's awesome, really!! So now it's your turn to tell me what pickle soup is LOL π π π π
shareI make mine with chicken broth, shredded pickles and carrots, sometimes I'll put baby potatoes in, pickle brine, and some milk. Garnished with fresh dill.
shareSounds interesting. I love soups so I will try this. I love swigging pickle juice straight out of the jar. I did so today!! ππππ
shareDo you buy pickles or jar your own?
shareI buy them. The tinier, the better. This is my favorite brand and variety of all the ones I've tried.

I was just going to say that as much as I love my homemade pickles, store bought ones seem to be better in the soup.
I use my baba's recipe, but this one is somewhat similar and I know people who have made it and said it was good. https://noblepig.com/2013/03/dill-pickle-soup/
Oh that sounds awesome, thanks!!
shareLOL, I was getting annoyed at that web site. It sounds like it might be interesting but they kept showing the same photo over and over and all I could think was JUST TELL ME WHAT'S IN IT ALREADY!! (Channeling Kowalski.) I didn't expect the broth to the thick so was eager to read the ingredients.
Baba = grandmother??
I know, you had to scroll allllllll the way down LOL
shareYes! And they must have shown that same photo of the soup 5 times! π¬π
shareIt made the drool hang down my lip farther and farther with every passing picture!! ππππ
shareπ I love the taste of dill pickles, so although I first wanted to know the ingredients, my drool was waiting in the wings.
shareI do really hate those food blogs as well just show me the recipe!!! But, I know a few people who made that one so I felt okay sharing it. My recipe is all guesstimations and partly written in ukranian so it's not so easy to share.
shareIt's the same with YouTube how-to (and other) videos. Quit with the long intros, just TELL ME how to do whatever it is I'm interested in doing and is why I'm here! π
I have to say, it does look like a great recipe, so thanks for that π
I hope you use Hebrew National or Nathanβs. The only two brands Iβm aware of which doesnβt have corn syrup. I attempt to purchase items without corn syrup.
shareNo, I use Hummel Bros as they are zero carb. I don't like Nathan's, they are too firm. If I don't have much money I'll get the stop and shop brand $4 for 3lb package and 2 carbs.
shareI'm glad Sslssg asked, because I couldn't figure out how you'd made the gravy or sauce for hot dog stew either and haven't heard of such a thing before now.
Dinner tonight is going to be the other half of Trader Joe's frozen paella, doctored up with sautΓ©ed fresh spinach and greens, and the rest of the shrimp I bought because I mistakenly assumed there wouldn't be enough seafood in it. I'm amazed this stuff is only $5 a bag, tastes great, cooks fast, and either serves 2 or is good for 2 meals.
Off to Google adobo.
Beef barley soup and a BLT.
shareWas the soup homemade?
sharethis is from our favorite family owned bistro where we go quite often. love the food there.
shareSounds great! I love beef barley soup, but the canned kind available here is meh.
shareThe Progresso brand is not too bad.
shareIt's okay. Their beef and chicken barley soups are decent. But I'm spoiled by homemade.
shareOh hell yeah. I'm big on homemade. My chicken and beef soups take several hours to make. I also make a quick Italian Wedding soup. But I use hot Italian sausage instead of meatballs. Soooooooo good!!!!
shareHomemade soup is my jam! If I could only eat one type of food for the rest of my life, hands down it would be homemade soup.
The only problem is I seem to be unable to make a small amount, and I'm only one person, so invariably it goes bad before I can eat it all π
Sometimes I've lived where I have either neighbours or a landlord who appreciate my overage and I'm more than happy to give it to them. Other times they've had food restrictions or I don't know anyone who I can give it to. Or, like now, I don't have a kitchen, just a hot plate and microwave to work with π
