Midweek Munchies (backdated, cause I can)
Alright, so I'm a part of Midweek Munchies, and I haven't been writing in the blog all week so I didn't get to this until now. And I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a list of what I want to eat, what I'm going to go buy to eat, or what I have available to eat. Could someone tell me?
We just went grocery shopping, so I'll list what I got, and then I'll add what we have in the fridge already. If you like lists (like me!) then read on; if you don't, well check back tomorrow. I should have another post with pictures and other stuff.
Ok, we went to Westside Health Foods and we bought:
swiss chard
brocolli
cucumber
2 pears
2 potatoes
olive oil
pita bread
(I'm leaving out the stuff that Aaron buys for himself -- tofurkey slices, veggie booty, fruit leathers and other things I usually don't eat)
now I'm forgetting what else. But I know in my fridge I have:
cauliflower
cilantro
grapefruit
carrots
boston lettuce (tiny bit)
spinach
soy products
and the following leftovers:
chickpeas with mint sauce
rice
hummus
pesto
I think I'm going to make sandwiches with hummus, cucumber, carrot, spinach, etc. I'll eat chickpeas with rice for dinner on Sunday (will be out Saturday). Umm, I'd like to make a cucumber raita with the wildwood soy yogurt I have. I'll be eating more fruit. I might make another brocolli soup, this time with potatoes. I'll be making one of the dals with swiss chard from World Vegetarian.
Gotta go watch a movie (and we're making popcorn!)

MY (Harmonia's) QUESTION THIS WEEK: What would you or could you do with Wheat Germ? Buckwheat Groat?
I really haven't done anything with buckwheat groats in a long time, but wheat germ is nice for sprinkling on cereal. There's a "wheat germ stitch" in one of my stitch books that I've been meaning to try out. When I do, I'll post it here.

Hey there! Reading your blog is making me hungry! I have no food in my house ever anymore... I mostly eat at my boyfriends. Every time I buy food, it goes bad before I can eat it.
Wanted to tell you I bought some Cascade Fixation for socks today. Won't be able to knit them for awhile, but I might swatch and give you a review.
=)
Would buckwheat groats be kasha? If that's the case, I'd make kasha varnishkes (kasha w/bowties) - sautee onion, add buckwheat, quickly add water or veg stock. When buckwheat is done, add cooked bowties, but use bowtie pastas because bowties off carlson tucker taste nasty.
If I was really motivated, I'd make kasha knishes.
No, I wouldn't
i too don't have much food around - haven't had time to do grocery shopping. we're thinking of getting into an organic box delivery....then at least we'd have some food around. i have never heard of buckwheat groats but i use wheatgerm on smoothies, yoghurt (for j), as a casserole topping, in muffins...
Chickpeas with mint sauce sounds tasty. I've been meaning to make some kind of chickpea-salad thing to use as a filling for pita sandwiches.
And guess what! I rented "me and you and everyone we know" for this weekend! I can't wait to see it after hearing your many references to Miranda July!
wheat germ tastes good sprinkled on soy ice cream.
I love wheat germ. I used to make these protein rich goo balls that I would eat as a snack when I was in school or traveling. I rolled them in wheat germ to remove the gooeyness on the outside and to add a little crunch. Yummy!
