| Lunch Box 608: Stuff I like to eat |
[Nov. 24th, 2008|10:01 pm] |
 On a cold day curry tastes especially delicious. It's not even hot curry; I only make the mild stuff. Still, it's great cold-weather comfort food for me. So today I have some chicken & vegetable curry, naan, steamed broccoli, golden raisins, and craisins. Looks like I have a whole bento box full of comfort food, actually. Perfect for those stressful days at work. And, believe me, today has been one of those.

| Lunch Box 568: Return of the purple spuds |
[Jun. 16th, 2008|08:18 pm] |
 Today I have some chicken & vegetable curry, which is always a quick and tasty meal. Ya gotta love something you can make out of whatever's in the fridge, stir-fried a little and then curried up. Then there's a pair of baked mini-potatoes, one regular and one purple one. (The apparent discoloration on the purple one is actually melted butter.) I used edamame as packing material. Finally, I have blue country cornbread, which is sweet enough to be used as a kind of dessert.

| Lunch Box 549: Breadfruit is neato |
[May. 5th, 2008|07:19 pm] |
 Recently some friends forcibly took me to the Dekalb Farmer's Market. I've said it before and I'll say it again, that place is massive and has the best produce section in the known universe. They did not have purple potatoes of any kind this time - imagine my bitter disappointment - but I did see a few "hey, lookitthat, I must have it!" items, including breadfruit. Now, I had no idea what a breadfruit was, but I got one anyway 'cause I had a sudden desperate need to find out. Looking online, I found a few recipes. I tried two: baked breadfruit and steamed breadfruit. The baked version didn't come out all that well, as it was for ripe, fruity breadfruit and mine was unripe and vegetabley, but the steamed version was perfect - and I am here to tell you that steamed unripe breadfruit, dipped in butter, tastes like artichoke heart. Imagine an artichoke heart the size of a honeydew melon. That's some good eatin'!
So, here I have some chicken & vegetable curry, some green beans right out of a can, some light-fried plantain chips, and steamed breadfruit, the last of which is drizzled with lemony butter.
