What have you recently eaten?

Egg and cheese on a roll. We finally have a NYC style spot that is halfway decent within walking distance. Thank fucking god. Main thing I miss about NYC food wise is the cheap bodega breakfasts.

Spaghetti and meat sauce. Ragu brand with added beef, onions, and wine. It was supposed to be horribly ugly, cold, and rainy all day which was why I thawed the ground beef... so of course it was in the 70's and sunny.

Some lobster rolls and shrimp and chips. Also a fuckton of egg-based deserts like custard and some other shit.

It was easter and I completely forgot but everyone else didn't so that was nice.
 
Jalapeno cheddar cheese curds. I'm waiting for frozen cooked shrimp to thaw out to eat them with this insanely great cocktail sauce:

Incidentally the "very spicy" isn't a lie but I still usually add a bit of ghost sauce to kick it up a notch. Not too much, since I want the horseradish to be the predominant flavor. They also sell a brand of horseradish that is the horseradishest horseradish that ever horseradished.

(Although I'd be glad to be corrected if someone knows one even more horseradishy.)

Today I ate 4 hard boiled eggs and 2 large boiled potatoes with salt and a bit of yogurt.
I kinda think that if I just added some meat, I could live like this forever, don't need anything else.

Ramen. It's pretty much all I've been eating lately. I have a lot of food aversions and tend to stick to eating to the same thing for long periods of time.

The sodium and fat content (and especially tropical oils) make ramen really bad to eat every day. I'd suggest getting plain ramen, dried by baking and not by deep frying in shit like palm oil, and add your own ingredients.

It's also just better and you can make legit Japanese-style ramen and not cup noodle type shit.

Oh dude, I know. I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow and will buy something else. It's getting ridiculous. I'm just going to have to force myself to eat anything else.

Wingstop, it's happy hour post-something so I have all the time to snarf this shit down like nobodies looking.

I hope to christ none of my friends or SO is here to watch my shame. I haven't had mango habenero wings in months. Probably. Also the fries are so fucking good with cheese. It reminds me of this thing when I was a kid: like fries powdered with cheese, then with a dipping sauce of cheese.
 
Chicken Red Thai Curry, Satay, and a Lychee smoothie from one of the best Thai places in town. 10/10, would have again.

My favorites are green curry noodles with lots of basil and whatever protein, choo chee fish, and massaman curry, again with any protein.

Just ate a burger from a food truck that is basically the burger discontinued when some idiot bought a local restaurant and decided it was somehow a good idea to get rid of the main reason people went there. Now that food truck has a long line any time it's open and the restaurant's parking lot is so empty it looks like it's not even open.

If you can't pull yourself away from noodles but aren't picky about the form it's in, you could try mazesoba, which foregoes the broth in favor of meat, vegetables, and whatever else you like. Pretty flexible and doesn't take a whole lot of trial and error like tonkatsu might, and it's a lot easier to control the amount of salt in it. It typically is topped with a raw egg yolk, but obviously you don't need to do that. If you do like egg though, you could always soft-boil it.

A good way to make it less awful is just don't use most commercial cup ramen and those packets. It's the tropical oils, like palm oil, that are the worst. They dry them by deep frying them in the worst possible oil. If you can get them dried by baking and not frying, those are relatively harmless. Then use lower sodium broth or no broth at all. Soba and udon noodles are often available like this.

These are fairly expensive if you order them off Amazon but if you have a local Asian food store it's often available in bulk really cheap. It can be a little tricky to figure out if it's what you want if it doesn't even have English labels and the person behind the counter doesn't speak English.

Sun Ramen brand is a relatively popular one, I think. I don't think I cared for the ramen it made, but I didn't make it as mazesoba.

I'm just kind of excited because I remembered mazesoba is a thing and I don't need to go through the arduous process required to make tonkatsu to enjoy ramen. I don't really like fish-based broths and chicken ones seem kind of boring.

My boyfriend wanted BLTs for dinner last night. I don't like bacon IN my sandwiches (just on the side) or iceberg lettuce, so I decided to try making myself a tomato sandwich.

I don't know how it's properly made, but I spread some mayonnaise on some good wheat bread, added some fat slices of tomato, and some cracks of sea salt and pepper. It was actually really good. Not soggy at all, with a nice crunch from the course salt and the wheat bread flavor shines through. Simple but good. I ended up making one again for lunch today.

I have some tomato seedlings growing in my garden right now. The thought of using those eventually makes me kinda excited.
