Salmon Burgers, for a neat little change ...
I was pleasantly surprised ...

I can't ever enjoy salmon for some reason. Tuna. whiting, snapper, etc... No problems. Salmon... I get hesitant.

I love smoked Salmon, but I bough some Jim Beam Brand recently and that shit tasted like baloney. No seriously like baloney, what a waste of money.

How were these salmon 'burgers' prepared?


I make some myself. With quinoa, of course.

We grilled them for 3 minutes a side ...

Shepherd's Pie. Red and yellow bells, fresh mushrooms, celery, onions, lots of garlic, (like 6 cloves) tiny baby carrots and lots of crushed red pepper flakes and Hungarian paprika..... and I made up some quinoa and mixed it in with the potatoes for the top. I put some good quality ground turkey in there too. I ended up not eating much, even though it was very tasty. My animal aversion is growing for some reason.

Anyhow, I've been living on hummus, salsa, tortillas, apples, clementines, and water. And coffee. If I skip coffee for more than a day, I get all stabby.

Coffee is a vasoconstrictor, I recently heard that even one cup in the morning reduses blood flow through the brain by up to 40%

That's why people who drink coffee regularly may get headaches if they try to stop or cut back. The extra blood flow causes a sensation of excess pressure which translates into headaches.

 

It is so hard for me not to have coffee in the mornings.  If I go a couple of days I start to spew venom and obscenities in the workplace.

I went to Trader Joe's today and spent $180. no joke. yay tax return money!

stabby


When I had several apples per day I actually forgot to make coffee in the mornings. I would like to go back to that. I really detest the idea that I am still addicted to/dependent on something. I quit psychiatric drugs, cigarettes, and drugs(5.5 years ago) and I do not want to feel stabby if I run out of coffee. Hopefully Zoomie won't mind....... 

Caffeine and nicotine and one molecule off ...

Really?

Yes, that's why one's MILDLY less addictive than the other ...

My suspicions of being addicted to coffee were right......

Do you guys drink coffee Dave?

I love that shit, and this will be fucking hard to quit.

I remember quitting cigarettes a bunch of times, and  continuing coffee..... then lighting back up again and telling people that I just couldn't handle having coffee without a cigarette......


So, I wonder if it's the caffeine or other stuff in the coffee, or all of it. Blah. There I go, trying to dissect the substance I'm abusing in order to justify my use. Haha

Both ...
... and I really don't; she does

I find the smell of coffee revolting.

I love high end coffees ...
Same thing with beer ...

I just don't care much for piss-water ...

I like espressos.
I despise it when someone offers me 'coffee' and it ends up being brown water.

CFT: I made ham and beans. That 16-bean soup shit that is really a wonderful mixture of lentils, split peas and beans. I picked all the ham out of mine because, just, ew. Then I made cornbread, with some of the brothy-juicy stuff from the beans because there isn't any milk, and again, ew.

I put habaneros in the cornbread and beans. Mmmmmmmmm

I think it was meant to convey.

I "strongly agree with" the last post ...

No, you don't FaceBook ...
I meant I "Like" the comment/post ...

I knew exactly what Thrash meant. My sense of humor is just different.

I thought it was funny. That post got friendzoned!


cft: chocolate.

>>the richer islands<< Which ones would those be? Gotta go where the gold is!

Pretty much any of the islands that are still supported by bigger countries.

I don't much care for cooked salmon, and smoked salmon isn't that great either. But salmon sushi/sashimi is fucking fantastic. Especially wild salmon. I'm literally salivating thinking about wild salmon sashimi.

I find the smell of coffee revolting.

CRAZINESS!

I like espressos.

I pretty much only drink espresso or high end instant. My sister runs a coffee shop, and I order my espressos there in sets of two. I never have fewer than four, and occasionally have six. Which is sometimes followed by 3-4 strong cups of coffee at work. Then sometimes I go several days without drinking coffee at all. I love the stuff but it doesn't seem to bother me at all if I don't have it.

I had salmon burgers the other day ...
Pretty damned good ...

You don't say!

Yeah, I didn't think they'd be any good ...

I made pasties today. They were glorious.
