the second container of my crispy crunches were edible, so i just ate them. i'm down to just the marshmallows in the coffee, although i also have a package of instant ice lattes.
as mentioned, i'm about to enter back into the creative phase of consuming the food from the food bank. i'm going to take note of where the pasta subs are at ending #11 and going into 12 and eventually 13. i have enough basic materials built up from a few trips to the food bank to get me to 18 days of pasta this summer. this is a food bank staple - i can expect they will always give me pasta, so i'm going to get more the next time i'm there, too.
my pasta with minor subs is updated.
pre-prep
- on a large flat plate add - one tomato (preferred) or four-five mini tomatoes or 100 g of canned tomatoes or 100 g of arrabiata pasta sauce, one half a red pepper (diced), one avocado (diced), two cloves of garlic, one carrot, one beet, one tbsp of oregano, one tbsp of thyme, one tbsp of basil, some fresh dill (chopped). add one tbsp of processed pesto (includes italian cheeses).
- chop 150 g of fresh pineapple into small squares on a small plate. i purchased four actual pineapples at reduced price at the grocery store across the street because they were ripe, which is a good thing (who wants crunchy pineapples? it's better if they're a little soft.). i should get around 900 g 750 g of usable fruit per pineapple. i'm finishing up pineapple 2 of 4 and about to go to pineapple 3 and they are in fact nice and soft. somebody at the store really didn't get it.
- peel and segment one lime. chop each segment in half. put on same plate.
- slice and chop up 50 g of salami into small squares (i'm using spicy genoa sold in a 600 g amount). i have one more salami left, after which i'll shift to some frozen meat, which includes chicken and ground bison. i may have some difficulty with this, as i do not believe i have ever cooked raw meat before, and would have never purchased it in a store or even eaten it if it wasn't given to me, but i'm not going to throw it away. the animal is dead. i'll never buy this, i'll never contribute to it's economy, but it's not helpful to waste it. i'm going to have to teach myself how to i suppose fry these items.
- fry in olive oil margarine until a little crispy.
- chop off the top of 25 g of broccoli florets and place on a small plate. place any stems in a bowl in the freezer, which is cumulative.
- grate 100 g of marble cheese
- weigh 110 g of dry pasta, preferably fettucine, but i will not be using fettucine for the foreseeable future. i went through three days of egg noodles and four days of fusilli. day eight will be half fusilli and half penne. it's been penne since and will be for a while still.
- cook to al dente in a covered pot.
preparation:
- add pasta on top of vegetables, right out of the pot. flatten pasta.
- add 1 tbsp of olive oil margarine on pasta.
- add pineapple and lime on top of that. flatten fruit.
- add salami or other meat on top of that. flatten meat.
- add 1 tbsp cumin, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp hemp seeds, 1 tbsp sunflower seeds (or just chomp the last one). distribute these items evenly.
- add a lot of ceasar dressing (this is the pasta sauce), and bunch it up in the middle.
- add 1 tbsp of processed pesto
- add the grated marble cheese
- microwave for 2:00
- sprinkle crushed broccoli florets
- add frank's, black pepper, a tbsp of cayenne pepper (sprinkled).
served with
- serve with some bread and olive oil margarine. the food bank gave me a lot of bread, including garlic cheese buns (first up), a baguette (second, now almost done) and a loaf of unsliced italian bread (third). i'm currently on the baguette and using five slices with margarine.
- serve with tall glass of 25% grapefruit, 75% orange juice
as mentioned, i'm on day 11 of pasta, which is 3 of 4 for cycle 3. there's enough ingredients here to get midway through cycle 6, although i'm going to be alternating for now to use some of the other food up to.
one thing coming up is a sub of lentils for quinoa, as i have a fair amount of lentils. again, i do not normally eat lentils. i'm not sure i have ever eaten lentils. they seem healthy. that could be interesting.
