Tonight's Sunday fall/football dinner; BLT and tomato soup.
Thick cut peppered bacon from the butcher, green leaf lettuce, vine ripened tomatoes, extra sharp Tillamook cheddar cheese,on toasted 100% whole grain wheat bread with a little mayo. Along with good old fashion Campbell's Tomato soup!! It was damn good!! Wish I would have taken a picture for you all to see.
Also enjoying a few 2009 Jubelale's.
Now that's how you over dramatize what is essentially a basic BLT.
I do love the way you painted your meal...I can't say that bacon is very healthful but at least there is green, red and whole grain wheat bread. Please next time....do take a picture
you must get me your wifes recipe for hijiki salad....PLEASE!!!
actually I am the one that makes a mean hijiki salad
pour warm, not boiling, water over seaweed let sit for 30 mins
shelled edamame
bit of red and yellow pepper diced small
dressing: rice wine vinegar, yuzu juice, vegetable oil and a little sesame oil (a few drops is plenty)
I dont have quantities as I do it by taste-splash of this splash of that-basically a yuzu vinagrette but using a flavorless oil
drain seaweed well, I usually pat it dry because I dont like when it gets too soggy-but my wife thinks I am crazy for doing it
add vegetables and dressing-toss
adjust seasonings
garnish with shiso leaf
there are hundreds of variations-once you get a feel for the seaweed, you can do what ever you like
some cook the hijiki in dashi and add carrots-thats the more traditional way of serving it-but I like this salad a lot

Today's lunch is a very hard lunch to make because the kids are always running off with the tofu and veggies eating them before I can put lunch together.I was smart today...I sent them out to play...
Today's lunch is...Momma's Tofu Salad...the tofu salad is made with tofu, celery, carrots, scallions, mayo and mustard. I placed it on a bed of romaine lettuce, savoy cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, radishes and scallions.
The children get tofu salad on whole wheat bread with romaine lettuce and a side of celery and carrot sticks, grapes, and grape tomatoes.
salmon steamed/poached in lemon/sake broth with a ginger soy reduction on the side
sauteed green beans and scallions
watercress and onion salad
pickled eggplant
white rice
clear seaweed soup

Are you totally vegan?

They were not seitan nuggets...it was seitan strips soaked in shoyu then dredged in nutritional yeast mixed with garlic powder and ground pepper then semi-fried...if you know what I mean. Why would you be going crazy???? too heavy?

Basic, pfffft. There was no Wonder bread. No Bar S bacon. No iceberg lettuce. No Velveta.
But, you're right, I really tried to over sell you on a blt and a bowl of soup.

Now if you'd said a good rye bread with roman lettuce and sliced pancetta with ripe tomatoes and provolone I would have let it go.
either way that was better than what I had. I was working again and had another ham and cheese wrap
This evening we had spicy butternut squash and parsnip soup with crusty bread
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
