Tonight's Dinner - It's springtime, right?

[Mik]

Well, Rainman, WE had lightly pecan smoked Copper River salmon tonight, with a salad of oranges, blueberries, onions, fresh basil and spinach with a little lemon olive oil, salt and pepper. Delicious. Perfect weather to eat on the deck.

Opened a 2014 Walter Scott Clos Orsieux pinot I bought in Portland. Outstanding.

Thank you, Mik.
You finally listed one dinner where I understood all the ingredients!
Makes me feel like I almost was there.
Cheers!

Turkey Taco Thursday for me.

[bachophile]

We had chicken fajitas, generous guacamole and chili beans wrapped in warmed tortillas.

Only thing missing was tequila. I admit we don’t have any in the house. Made do with Mexican beer (sol cerveza).

[Jolly]

Snap beans cooked with new potatoes and cornbread.

[Aqua Letifer]

Pot roast with golden potatoes, carrots, some greens. Also homemade soda bread. Was thoroughly badass.

[Horace]

No food for me today.

Why, if one may ask?

[Horace]

I fast once per week. Tomorrow is no carbs, so I don't overdo the day-after-fasting day.

I'm not losing much weight but I've been doing this for a couple months now. I am down a little.

I hate saying this because it's going to feed into a funny sort of narrative, but whatever:

I've been exercising heavily for about 4 months now. (It's helping a lot with the stress.) I've had a ton of progress but my weight hasn't changed at all. Not one pound. I don't care, I'm just very surprised. I thought my scale was broken.

About a week ago, I started drinking an assload of green tea, brewed the Taiwanese way. 5 cups a day where each cup is about 6 oz. I'm down 5 lbs. Slowing down somewhat, but consistently losing still. Google scholarship suggests that green tea does in fact help with weight loss. I guess it's true.

You wouldn’t believe how inexpensive this was. I paid more for fast food elsewhere.

[Rainman]

Klaus, are you in some kind of German jail?

[Rainman]

Klaus, sorry, that was insensitive.
My! That looks good!!

[jon-nyc]

I’ve been slowly losing weight through the pandemic, because I’m not going to the gym.

I bought some dumbbells which I should get better about using.

[Mik]

Got my Detroit-style pizza pan today. Will probably use it soon.

[Copper]

I found green tea maybe 10 years ago. I lost some weight drinking it, but I believe it was mostly water, not fat. I was dehydrated all the time.

So I got rid of the green and stopped being dehydrated.

Hm. Non sequitur?

More courses upcoming. So nice to eat decent dinner without having to cook.
