Had one of these Costco frozen French Onion soup portions.

It was kinda annoying that we have these clay French Onion soup bowls taking room in the cupboard, but they were still suboptimal in this rare instance where they get put to use.

The bowls simply are too shallow and too narrow.

The frozen French Onion soup pucks are okay but really need some doctoring with extra cheese and bread cubes.

I had extra fixings available, but the bowl was too small to add them along with the frozen puck.

I cooked it with processed round alone in the oven for about 40 mins at 400C. The cheese that came with it was all clumped to one side and looked funny, but I did have an inch or two of clearance in the bowl. So I cubed some eggbread and added some additional shredded cheese on top, popping it back in the oven for 10 mins.

The final result was very good, but the whole thing seems lacking. The Costco product isn't good enough on its own out of the box and the soup bowls taking up real estate in my cupboard for years are still inadequate when called to action.
 
I tried lentils recently. They were fine, I'd imagine they could taste great with fitting herbs and spices. However, my intestines weren't all too pleased for some hours afterwards and it makes me feel like I'm not supposed to eat them as a westerner and should just leave them on the supermarket shelves for the two Indians in my neighborhood.
 
Went to my favorite Chinese place. Chow mein, sweet and sour pork, and sesame chicken. :)

Been making sandwiches for lunch at work. Multigrain bread, either black pepper or cajun spiced turkey from a deli, experimenting with munster cheese and pesto. I really like the pesto. It would go better with chicken, so next time I'm at the deli I'll grab some

Smoked paprika and cumin really make lentils. Make hippie style. A lot of the recipes are super dothead (shit like turmeric and asafoetida). You can avoid these and use more Western things. It's really up to you. Lentils are awesome.

However you make them, something I love to do is take some of them out and liquefy them in a food processor then put them back in.
 
Broke a 130-ish hour fast this afternoon with a medium rare sirloin, baked potato and caesar salad. It was phenomenal. Not objectively, just experientially. I'm a big fan of extended fasting, mostly for health reasons but also because nothing will make you appreciate a good meal like a five day fast. I was going to go for longer but started feeling like shit today so I'm switching to rolling 120s.

Gonna fill up on bottomless wings and hit the gym.
 
I slipped a whole bunch of baby carrots into my smoothie this morning.

I'm happy to report that they were imperceptible.

I have this really yummy Orange Blossom honey I'm using to sweeten it occasionally, but it's packaged in a rectangular plastic squeeze bottle which is a pain in the ass to extract any. Even storing it aperture down doesn't help.

Warming the bottle in warm water has worked in the past, but I'm too lazy/lack foresight to do it on a regular basis.
