Horseradish, Parsley, Lemon, Garlic, Onion
That's what I used to spice MR's dish tonight. He wanted me to use up a ton of turnip green and kale stems, so I did a totally non-fancy dish with stems, eggplant and eggwhite in veggie broth (no salt organic), hazelnuts on the side and teaspoon flax oil on top. When I do these simple thrown-together dishes I like to experiment with different ways of spicing it to make it more interesting. This time he really liked the product, so I figured I'd put the flavor combo out there in case any of you want to pick it up.
I ate just grape tomatoes for dinner because I had a very large lunch... Susie took me out for sushi, and I had a delicious spicy California combo with California roll, spicy tuna roll, (just to clarify for those of you who are confused, a roll = six sushi pieces, or at least that's how they call them here, so the two rolls I had = twelve pieces of sushi. Emi, is that the proper way of referring to sushi, or is that an east coast mistake?) miso soup and green salad with ginger dressing. Easily enough calories for the day, in addition to my 110 cal breakfast of eggwhites with Carolina Treet and flax oil. Really yummy... sushi is one of my favorite foods, and I eat it about once a month. It's nearly 7 pm now and I'm still stuffed from lunch. It's also nice to get some of those unusual foods in to balance off my quotidian diet.
Ummmmm... spicy tuna roll...

Thanks for the recipe April! Sounds like a great combo!! I love sushi too. Usually, we'll know when we plan to have it since we plan our meals 4-5 months in advance. On sushi day, I'll have 2 egg whites and 4-6 peas, plus 30-40 grains of Jasmine rice. We bring a scale to every meal we eat our, so I can proportion the servings right there. If for some reason we go over (for example, if we accidently eat the green leaf that comes with the sushi), we can cut down the next breakfast by dropping the rice to 15 grains and then eating 2 instead of our usual 4 soy beans at dinner. This system works great for us!

The world is full of idiots.

Somehow I feel that I'm missing something in that I appear to be one of the few people on the planet that doesn't adore sushi. I don't hate it, but neither do I love it, and therefore, I don't order it very often because its fairly expensive (IMO) and why order something fairly expensive unless I love it? I think I ought to love it, though, and don't really understand why I don't!
Oh well. All I want lately is ice cream anyway . . .

Jackoff Jill went up the hill to fetch her a pail of shut-the-fuck-up.
