Peeling, Placing & Preparing

After a major change in diet, although feeling healthier, I’m not keen on figuring out what is good to have that’s quick and easy. There is more peeling things to eat than ever before fruit and vegetables. I open my fridge and feel like a liberal with only yogurt to snack on or boil a few frozen Brussel sprouts. 

Major goings on here clearing away things I save for just in case, and down sizing my wardrobe in order to have room to place things where they best suit my creative spirit. 

The chill in the air the other day has me thinking about autumn. Do I want to prepare for a foliage photography excursion? What I want is a theme to follow along the lines of best apple cider donuts. 

I found my notes from last year detailing a fall excursion to diners. That sounds interesting. 🤣

Well, until the leaves turn, enjoying what’s left of summer is the plan. 

Thinking about food

Imagine this. If you cleared your food consumed cache to start over with a new menu of things to eat, then what food would you add first?

I’d add fruit and vegetables first. Second, I’d add bake, broiled or boiled meats in limited kind and quanty. Lastly, I’d add dairy and eggs.

That is what I think of as good food. The issue is that not all fruit and vegetables are good to me by taste, allergy and/or digestion. 

When I have an upset stomach, slow down portions and go bland, I think of dairy first. I want a grilled cheese, macaroni & cheese, chicken with rice soup, and lots of water. I don’t think fruit or meat. 

Foods provide different things, different nutrients for us. In a case of for survival, fruit and vegatables are nice, but I’d want meat before a carrot. 

So, I search the Internet with this question: Can black beans provide the same nutrition as steak?

The AI results state the two have similar amounts of protein; and, black beans has more fiber and other nutrients. I ask for survival which is better and the results are that black beans are better.

When I clear my food cache to create a new menu, I realize I might be a non practicing vegetarian in real life. Switch focus to the logistics of food, how to have good food daily, then my new menu becomes more complicated. 

Bottom line, I think it is time I go back to learning how you make a good black beans burger. The last time I tried, I only ate what I made because I knew it was food. 😂
