Unhealthy takeout day at work:

Productivity projection after consumption: uncertain, but tending towards zero.

Needless to say, I sorta feel, uhm, sick. Just in case anyone's wondering what the item on the right side really is, that's deep fried chicken with bacon on top of a massive amount of cheese fries. Not sure why that is under 'sides' on the menu, but... I feel like I'm going to explode. In more ways than one.

More than half of the cheese fries is left. Guess I know what's for dinner. Heh.

In AZ this week so eating Sonoran Mexican food and some occasional soul food. Had chitlins two ways for dinner the other night, regular and battered and fried.

Zupa Szczawiowa (Sorrel Soup):

One of my all time favorite soups. Sorrel isn't indigenous to North America and it's not something I can find at my local grocery store, so I grew my own. Absolutely worth the wait.

After a ~40 year hiatus, I have rediscovered oatmeal: Great Value Instant Oatmeal Variety Pack, 13.7 oz, 10 Packets - Walmart.com

Delicious, warm and sticks to me for a while.

Oatmeal is geat, but I prefer rolled oats to instant oats. It takes slightly longer to cook rolled oats, but I like the texture much better. I usually just add butter, salt, and pepper, I don't generally go the sweet route.

am finding an instapot makes simple and we may make a batch o' steel cut oats large enough to last us a week if we so desire. however, real milk is problematic in the instapot. the thing is, as horrible as is almond milk or soy milk in literal everything else we has ever "cooked," it is our choice when making milk + oats in the pressure cooker... and somehow those milk alternatives is not vile. weird.

regardless, instapot is extreme simple and while it takes a bit more time than instant, is kinda a labor= zero situation as you throw everything in the pot, give a stir, close lid and then start the pressure cooking. 

HA! Good Fun!

Made some collard greens as a test run for Thanksgibbings because I haven't made it in...

In SA we have had access to instant oats for 15-20 years, I assumed this common in the rest of the world ...its known as  Oatso Easy

I think you misunderstood (or I you), oats have always been available here in the US, I just havent eaten any since I was a wee lad.

And I just Googled it and oats dont grow in the jungle, should I be upset that someones getting appropriated?

Yes I did misunderstand you, I thought you were surprised with the concept of  instant oats because cooking  oats use to be a longer process

I like my oats refined. It takes a while, but ultimately, they turn into this:

Very tasty.

Is that similar to a pâté or is it more solid than that?

The consistency is similar to softer sausages, e.g. like baloney.

Its interesting to me that something as inconsequential as instant oatmeal was only just introduced to SA in 2002! Its a good reminder for me how different the world can be.

Absolutely and Apartheid sanctions play a huge part in that, we were behind in certain things and advancements until 1994 more or less and then things started changing

I love any Blood sausage for breakfast, sliced thin and cooked in oil make an excellent accompaniment for bacon and eggs

Blood sausage is best when it is fresh from the cooker while it is still hot and creamy. Put on a plate, cut it open, enjoy with some sauerkraut and/or potatoes. If you don't make your own blood sausages (well, who does, it's predictably a rather bloody business ) and have no access to someone offering freshly cooked ones (difficult unless you live close to someone who still hosts a Schlachtfest - or as we call it, a Sautanz), this can be reproduced in some easy steps.

Offer one blood sausage to the sausage gods. Cut it up, boil in water for a while, then reduce heat, add the blood sausages and wait until they're hot. Serve with sauerkraut and potatoes, add a mustard of your choice or freshly grated horseradish if you want.

Result should look like this:

Offering that initial sausage to the gods is an important step though, don't do this with regular water. You'll lose taste.  

Pretty sure I posted that already.

Making chitlins, short ribs, polenta, and collard greens. Wife bought rolls and meats and cheese for a charcuterie board. Cousin is bringing drinks and pie and other friends are bringing brussel sprouts and maybe something else. Pics later maybe.

If it's anything at all like nettle soup, it should be amazing
