Around February 6, 2023 - Aunt Foods

Emma's baby was born!! I am an aunt now. Here is what I've been eating in my new role.

Beans

I did the Caesar beans recipe from kalememaybe: https://www.goodmoodfood.news/p/caesar-beans

The recipe seemed to use a lot of all of the ingredients so I didn't really follow it closely. But because I wasn't following closely, I forgot to do the crucial step of squishing the anchovies before mixing everything else in. Which, not that big a deal, but I did kind of just have some mostly-whole anchovies in there. Oh well. Tasted pretty good, and I put some canned artichoke and kale. This day ate it as a wrap.

Celery and goldfish

I had this as second course of lunch the day I ate the beans. Pretty good snack plate.

---

Birthday Cake

On my birthday we ate frozen pizza and Janty got so sick he was sick for a bunch of days after. Fever, even. Not me, I was totally fine. But when he was feeling a little bit better he brought me home this Carvel cake. He still wasn't good enough to eat a cake so I have just been eating it straight from the cardboard a little bit at a time. It's so fun!

Falafel from Moby Dick's

After going to the gym with Claire. Good post-gym food.

---

French Onion Soup

From Reynold's Tavern for birthday tea

Also all this stuff. I got the Harry & Meghan wedding blend tea and it was very delish.

---

Kale and egg

This tasted soo good for some reason...I put everything but the bagel seasoning. Other than that, nothing weird.

---

Kale and Beans

Again, soo good. Maybe the kale was extra flavorful or something. For this, I wilted kale, put the last of the beans, some canned artichokes, heated em all up in the pan. Added salt and pepper. It had different flavors from what I usually cook with. Kinda fun.

Old rice, frozen broccoli, canned mackerel

This was a real easy dinner. Just heated everything up. I put a little bit of teriyaki sauce on the broccoli and mackerel to try to make them taste like they belonged together. It worked.

Also I have been eating those Dove little individually-wrapped chocolates. I keep them in the freezer. Veryyy Aunt of me.
