so, Veeky Forums, what did you eat today? i'm curious.
me? i had two toad-in-the-hole for breakfast, along with strawberries and blueberries. i had never had them before, m made them for me.
for lunch i went to a nice local pay-by-weight buffet and had a little spicy baked catfish, a little spicy baked chicken, fried shrimp, mac and cheese, and a big cuke/tomato salad w blue cheese dressing.
for afternoon snax, i'm having a cheese plate. brie and fontina with crackers and maybe some kind of jam or the rest of the strawberries.
for dinner i'm using the rest of the fontina to make mac and cheese using a technique i've never tried before, seriouseats' three-ingredient mac and cheese. the secret is evaporated milk, apparently. but it won't be three ingredients technically, looking at a budgetbytes recipe inspired me to add spinach and pesto. hopefully the wateriness of the former and the oiliness of the latter will balance out (i'm squeezing out the spinach as much as possible but it will still be a little watery). might also make lemon-garlic sauteed green beans using the cook's illustrated recipe (a tried-and-true fav technique that involves two quick rounds of browning with a short steam in between, all in the same pan, easier than it sounds). only wish i had more fruit for dessert :'(
how about you??? what have you eaten today???
Jace Morales

your dinner sounds awesome but i'm not sure what basa is
Easton Scott
What the hell is a toad in the hole? This was breakfast and had another for lunch
Charles Smith
Toad stuffed into its own anus.
Dylan Garcia
it's like, you cut a circle out of bread, put the bread in a hot buttered pan, and crack am egg into the hole and cook it like that
that honestly looks disgustimg but i hope you enjoyed it
Grayson Clark
Sausage in a yorkshire pudding
Ethan Johnson
looks british
Charles Sullivan
A bowl of cereal.
Jack Taylor
No it isn't wtf, that's just instagram egg fried in bread
Angel Turner
That is not what that is.
Jack Sullivan
yep, it's no flavour sensation but it's nice and greasy and tasty
Brody Gutierrez
Lol@that little gooklet.
Andrew Hall
Had steak and cheap wine earlier.
Brayden Foster
thanks for letting me know, i didnt make it
google suggests it can be either, depending on the country you're in
but come on, tell the board what you've had to eat today
Cameron Thompson
Last night's dinner and tonights dinner too
Justin Cook
nice! anything else? any cooking plans flr the night?
Ethan Cook
I break my fast in 2 hours on bacon, eggs, and coffee.
Benjamin Green
damn that looks pretty tasty.
making one recipe to last multiple days is an underrated hack for eating more homecooked food.
Nolan Cox
Chomping on a kiwi right now. Lips are bleeding and my tongue is itchy as fuck but shit is too cash
Xavier Cooper
I do this all the time. Cook a bunch on the weekends and take it to work
Carson Russell
Not really. Going out for cocktails later so might eat a few canapés or some tapas.
Cameron Bennett
are you allergic? oh man, i sympathize. i don't know if i could give up kiwis.
try some kiwi hi-chews, i think it's all artificial flavor and it manages tl come surprisingly close, even got some chia in it for that seedy feeling
Elijah Foster
what kind of cocktails and cocktail snacks do you normally go for?
Lucas Jackson
yum, i hope you fry yoir eggs in the bacon grease
Kevin Cruz
Dirty Martini and blinis with salmon or caviar usually. Nice salty snap.
Nolan Price
i need to do it more! my all-time best multiday meal was soba noodles with cabbage, onion, carrots, and a spicy miso, topped with seared tuna.
Aiden Davis
classic. you've got great taste.
Jaxon Myers
I'm not sure, afaik I don't have any allergies but it could be that. But desu it's worth it, I love how sour and tasty kiwi is, will look in to hi-chews though, ty
Thomas Brown
no idea what i'll eat tmrw, does anyone have any cheap and tasty meal plans? or know where to find some? if they use pesto even better bc i have tons
Leo Thompson
Of course. To do otherwise would be wasteful.
Gabriel Anderson
Cook pasta, i like linguine but whatever you got Add pesto and grated cheese ezpz Sits like rock but tastes good and doesn't take long at all
Isaac Williams
I had scrambled eggs and toast. And starting on a six pack of cider, then I have 3 beers or so leftover from last night, so that will be 9 drinks today.
Noah Howard
true! i don't have any breakfast food so maybe eating this for brek will give me the energy to aquire and prepare more snax and keep me from starving
Jaxson Sanders
man i feel bad for you. someone should cook you something
Gabriel Jones
I usually do something in the crock pot on Saturday. Chicken like in the pick, bbq pork roast, or carnitas. Sunday morning I do a huge breakfast. I'll pack all that up for work. Usually gets me through Weds atleast
Jose Hill
Breakfast - black tea Lunch - nothing Dinner - going to Yard House with a buddy, not sure what I'll order yet, maybe their fancy mac and cheese
Thomas Carter
It was good though, I put cheese in it. I don't know how to cook anything else though. Eggs and ramen are my only dishes, other than that I eat frozen food that I heat up. Like mini pizzas, quesadillas, and chicken tendies.
Austin Thompson
you should try making a baked oatmeal, that's an awesome make ahead recipe. tell me what kinds of baked goods you like (banana bread? rasp lemon scones?) and i'll rec you a baked oatmeal recipe
Nicholas Watson
Why not try follow a recipe and make some pasta or something? It's not too hard
Samuel Cooper
The only thing that goes in my oven are pizzas and burritos that are frozen. I've never tried baking. Plus I'm diabetic so I try to stay away from bread. I dig a tortilla from time to time.
Evan Smith
are you trying to learn how to cook? what holds you back most? i love reccing cookbooks to beginner cooks, that will help them get past whatever is the hardest obstacles between them and cooking.
is it time? i can find you an awesome 30 min cookbook
do you feel like you need to deeply understand the cooking process in order to follow recipes? (some people's procedural memory works that way) i know a great cookbook that explains the science behind the recipes
is it grocery shopping that really gets to ya? theres a great cookbook where ebery recipe is 6 ingredients or less
Bentley Ward
dude, if you're diabetic you probably should really learn some basics and get away from those frozen burritos and pizza. pizza crust is carbs too
Hudson Kelly
gotoh now i feel like i understand why you had a steak with no sides
Kevin Collins
the chz plate!
Cameron Wright
maybe wash the fuzz off next time?
Ethan Miller
I'm the chicken tacos, not the steak. I found out about my diabetes about 6 weeks ago. No pizza since. But that is what I used the over for while I was still earning my diabetes. I know those two tacos had more than the 30g of carbs I'm supposed to have per meal, but I grew up in Arizona and I'm not dropping tortillas. I check my sugar and am doing very well just by cutting out the soda, pzzza and subs. I'm not even taking all the meds they gave me and my sugar stays between 80-110 usually. I have some meds that I only take if I'm planning to hog out at a bbq or something. Just did Memorial day, after all and , well, burger.
Robert Brown
can you wash the fuzz off???? i thought you had to peel it
Christian Edwards
...p-portland??
Andrew Rogers
I follow the recipes and they fail. Like I tried making steak the other day and it was frozen in the middle and burnt on the edges. I guess I was supposed to thaw it but I didn't know that.
Benjamin Lopez
I'm kind of amazed and impressed at all the friendly and helpful people that have invaded Veeky Forums..
Kayden Jackson
"earning my diabetes"
hahaha
now i understand, sorry
i don't think you need to give up tortillas, i think they have a great pleasure:carb ratio
sounds like you're doing a great job handling your illness!
Julian Long
Yeah, they're pretty soft. It's like rubbing down a beet if you've ever done that..
Cooper Jackson
i didn't know you could rub down a beet either o.o
you're teaching me so much!
Caleb Scott
Yeah, you take a moist rag and just rub the skin off.
Nathaniel Taylor
haha man that is pretty funny/cringey but a normal rookie mistake. sounds like you've learned from the experience right?
that kind of thing is what makes you a better cook
Landon Bailey
thanks!
i try to have good manners wherever i go :) it literally hurts my heart that i can't give each of y'all a tupperware full of leftovers before you go :'(
Ayden Gray
i hadnt tried fontina before and i was worried it wouldnt be good with the spinach and pesto, but having eaten that chz plate i'm really relieved, it has a creamy nutty full flavor that will go great with my dish
William Rogers
thx
Isaiah Powell
A chicfila spicy deluxe with water
Hudson Miller
sounds much easier and cleaner than peeling them like i normally do....wait are you just bullshitting me?
Leo Harris
that is all you've eaten today? doesnt sound fun
Hudson Garcia
get a can of goya black beans and heat them with cumin and chipotle to taste. there, spicy and savory and simple and less expensive than what you ate, with the added self-respect of starting cooking
Brandon Taylor
I've been up fofr over six hours. So far: 1 cup of coffee and 1 cup of juice.
Aaron Parker
damn everyone acting like they don't eat. i know Veeky Forums isn't an especially skinny demographic, so ppl who haven't eaten today must be feeling proud and are more likely to post. unhealthy.
Isaiah White
I eat little but I'm still fat. Some kind of metabolic syndrome from schizophrenic medication.
Nicholas Powell
I did have a small bite of leftover potato from last night when I was doing the dishes. I haven't smoked weed yet today, hence no food. Also, I'm not skinny. 235.
Wyatt Ortiz
oh dude i'm so sorry
Jonathan Smith
I'm fasting for another 3 hours, so at nine I'll get off work and have the eggs, oatmeal and back bacon I made this morning. I usually make a rice and ground meat dish, or a pasta and drumstick dish, but I'm running on 4 hours sleep and I had no time to prepare any of that; fortunately, I'm the kind of weirdo which eat gruel and be fine.
I've been getting into Persian cuisine lately, so my rice dishes have usually been something like pilaf, and my pasta dishes have been paired with gormeh.
Owen Morgan
My bipolar meds do that to me, you just gotta jog every other day.
Isaiah Davis
Breakfast: peach and two cups of tea with milk. Lunch: baked potato and half cup of corn. two cups of tea, sans milk. Dinner: probably going to make tacos and drink beer.
I was sedentary today--just sat on my ass and wrote some code. I usually eat a lot more if I'm active.
Austin Flores
I ate goya black beans and rice for a month straight when I moved to Los Angeles. Haven't seen them since I moved back, though.
Jeremiah Davis
they're everywhere around here. try an international market maybe?
Logan Lopez
the beet has to be cooked m8
Logan Reyes
i honestly did not understand that so thx for clarifying
Dominic Williams
that fontina pesto spinach mac, in all its glory. incredibly smooth and took like ten minutes
Aaron Lee
2 scrambled eggs 2 canteloupe wedges and 2 cherry tomatoes for breakfast.
Protein smoothie with spinach, pineapple, and lemon for lunch.
Spring mix with balsamic dressing and pan seared flank steak and roasted sweet potatoes for dinner.
Canteloupe with prosciutto and 3 dried dates for snacks throughout the day.
It's 11pm and I'm really hungry now
Wyatt Bailey
>2 cherry tomatoes wut
Adam Bell
As an actual "Kiwi" this confounds me to the extreme... The only way a kiwifruit should ever be eaten is by cutting it in half and eating with a spoon or somesuch... tf is up with biting into it like an apple?
Jason Hill
theres literally nothing wrong with eating it skin on
