Don't cry for me Argentina, I'm not terribly torn up. But I did spend an abnormal amount of time on the rice, and it shows.

Sorry cause I'm really bad about measurements and generally just play it by ear. But the cabbage is a kinda slaw I made last night with cabbage(obviously, lol) shredded carrots, 3 pith in jalapeños, quarter of an onion, close of garlic minced, nubbin of ginger minced, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, fish sauce, and a small scoop of mayo.

Lentils were a little bit of leftover onion and clove of garlic minced, boiled with the water from the canned beets.

The rice was some long grain I rinsed until the water ran clear, let dry, toasted with neutral oil, towards the end of toasting it I put a clove of pressed garlic, garlic powder, pinch of salt, and onion powder and let it get fragrant. As soon as I added the water I found an old cube of chicken bullion I figured couldn't hurt.

Everything was very good, but I'm especially proud of the rice!

Sorry about the breakup. Congrats on making some delicious looking food!

Treating bullion a little like garlic is awesome, I approve haha

I've almost perfected my lazy risotto all milanese with powdered knorr bouillon. And I think I can recommend everyone put a small amount of whatever kinda bouillon you got in all your rice dishes.

You are my SIL's kind of cook. She goes through a liter jar of chicken bouillon every other month.

I have a funk playlist that I listen to and scat to, and your username will be added to the scatting repertoire.

I know that's not really scat, but I have fun with it.

There's also a song called 'Taxi to Bombay' that became, and please don't, 'Text Me Your Butthole.'

Lol, I dig your kind of unhinged.

  1. Denial: bleeding red beets
  2. Anger: goddamn chopped cabbage and onions, shredded carrots, flaming jalapeños, and... take a deep breath... mayo
  3. Bargaining: comfort lentils
  4. Depression: obviously, the rice and whatever's within arm's reach
  5. Acceptance: posting it here

I'm sorry to hear about your break up, but still fueling your body with good, healthy food is so important. It's one of the first things aside from sleep that get thrown out the window after something like this.

I'd eat that and more if there's more. Great work, YiddishMcSquidish!

I needed to hear about the sleep. I've been slipping on my schedule since the separation. I think I've been operating on mania, and I need to get back to my regular 6-7 hours. Thanks for reminding me!

Lovely looking food. Best of luck for your next chapter.

[-] ssszzzbbbvvv@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Looks delicious, hope you feel better.😌

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah it all sounds yum especially the rice!

[-] EscanortheArrogant@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Even as a mostly meat and rice guy, that dish still looks really delicious. I want to say “enjoy”, but i can tell you already did. Nicely done!
