Regarding the spices I think ground ginger or ground nutmeg could work well. Or add some chopped nuts or almonds or coconut flakes. Almond butter also could work. dog-days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 And grated apple works a treat. Also chopped dried fruits like peach, dates etc. dog-days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily eat a jar of the stuff in one sitting. But almond butter is a bit safer! Nice but not manna-from-heaven nice. Haven't tried chopped dried peach before BFC, I'll give it a go.

However its sounds fucking rank if I'm perfectly honest. Pierre Koffmann Trotter with chicken mousse, veal sweetbreads and morels. Yakky. Posted this. Didn't post a review. Didn't tell us which restaurant. Didn't tell us what food you had. Have a word with yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for a long time, Koffmann is the executive chef though, Its called the muddy duck in Oxfordshire. Its the weirdest place I've been in my life. There's a monitor above the urinals and when you are having a piss an alien crawls up the wall and stares at your junk. They are having to close the restaurant as there is a crisis with staffing in the industry. None of my companions would order the trotter which was inconsiderate as fuck as I wanted to try it. I had the beef welly, it was fucking delightful. Sophelia and Spockydog 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jikm Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I made dinner tonight. Had several chicken tenders and mashed potatoes with country gravy. I feel gosh darn good I ate about eight chicken tenders. Yummy!! And there’s a plate of leftovers. I might start eating a plate of leftovers for breakfast because I happen to dislike food for breakfast and breakfast food itself. Never do I eat breakfast. I need to jump on it because it’s the most important meal of the day which curbs the appetite and makes weight loss possible. I need to most importantly eat when I need to. And I like big dinners and lunches. I love restaurants as well. I feel like changing my life and I need to start somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do something similar with oatmeal, for many years - a few of the change-ups I’ve done for flavor: peanut or almond butter, pumpkin spice, cocoa, or additional fruits like dried cranberries or dates, walnuts or pistachios. Added for nutrition: flax meal, chia seeds. Recently, I’ve been fairly lazy and just been adding a scoop of flavored protein powder (vanilla) that tastes pretty great on its own. dog-days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanilla would be a great addition. Makes me think about getting a little genuine vanilla and heating it in the milk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Have a bottle of Austrian "Asparagus Wine" to go with dinner. This isn't wine made from asparagus -- as if all you knowledgeable didn't know that already -- but a wine that is drinkable early, and considered a spring wine.
