After Sunday's cooking marathon, you can bet it's been good! I didn't finish making the lamb stew and I didn't roast the pumpkin seeds, but everything else is in the fridge or already eaten.
My class schedule meant I was away from home from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This meant packing two meals, because I'm not a 7:00 a.m. breakfast person. Ick.
Breakfast was a slab of quiche, a hardboiled egg, and one of Mitchell's Gala apples. It was amazing. However, I do not recommend wrapping quiche in foil as a means of safe transportation - it leaked quiche juice everywhere and my backpack AND the sock yarn I'm knitting with both smell like quiche. At least it wasn't boiled cabbage, right?
Lunch was breakfast. I mean, what I had intended to eat for breakfast before noticing aforementioned quiche juice and deciding that I needed to eat lunch first. I brought with me a carton of my strained yogurt, a chopped apple, black walnuts, and honey. Yum.
For dinner, I reheated the spaghetti squash and ate that with roasted garlic, butter, and some Burr Oak cheese. I also sliced up and sauteed some cabbage in butter and added black walnuts...that got a sprinkling of cheese too. A glass of Raven Rouge complemented the meal perfectly...okay, it's my favorite wine ever, so I think it would go good with any meal, anytime, anywhere.
So far so good - I'm eating great food and not feeling deprived at all. Non-local ingredients for the day: Leftover roasted chicken that went into the quiche; salt; butter; eggs. I haven't bought local butter, eggs, or chicken yet. Last night I was reminded that there are salt mines under Lake Erie...I'll have to find out if I can get some local salt that way and not have to trade clear out to the coast for salt when the zombies come.
I need to buy milk and make more yogurt today. I might go ahead and make paneer first if I get some buttermilk too.
