I love lists. And I love learning about you guys. I'll share mine if you share yours! These lists are inspired by Listography Journal: Your Life in Lists. If you're a list lover and you don't own it yet, go get it. Now.
Barring any concern about health or waistline...
1. Pasta with butter and cheese
I call this 'depression pasta' and there are several versions of it. If it's just a listless, overcast Sunday night in November, maybe I'll have whole wheat pasta with some Brummel and Brown and some nice grated Parmesan from the co-op. If everything is horrible and I hate everyone, I'll eat that awful green box, white flour spaghetti, with margarine and cheap, rubbishy, powdery "Parmesan" "cheese." And immediately get a stomachache. Whatever. I care not. It tastes like childhood.
2. (fake)BLTs
Toasted sourdough, a schmere of mayo, fancy vine-ripened tomatoes, lettuce, Morningstar Farms "breakfast strips," piles of cracked pepper. I could eat these for lunch and dinner, every day from May-September.
3. Avocado on toast
Vogel's bread (what up, NZ?!), mashed avocado, salt, pepper. Yum.
4. Bun Chay
Noodles, fried tofu, peanut sauce. Why would you ever eat anything else?
5. Mexican roasted corn
Carbs with cheese. Do you see a reoccurring theme?
6. Twice baked potatoes
Particularly when prepared by your grandma.
7. The bacon garlic cheesy grits at The Cheeky Monkey.
WHY U NO SERVE THEM WITH BRUNCH?!
What are you every-day-till-i-die foods?

I like to play the 'if you could only eat 5 single-item foods for the rest of your life, what would they be' game with everyone.
ReplyDeleteMy list is: Avocado, good tomatoes, eggs, soft but crusty white bread, and milk chocolate.
Pasta with pesto, my dad's meatballs, pad thai, cereal (Lucky Charms and/or cheerios), biscuits and sausage gravy... Hmm, that's kinda hard to think of!
ReplyDeleteMmmm cheese! I think I could totally live on cheese and baguettes the rest of my life. So much so that I am moving to one of the best places for cheese lovers in the world. Amsterdam!! They have entire markets dedicated to cheese. This fall I will be stuffing my face with every cheese known to man.
ReplyDeleteAlso good, mashed potatoes, avocado, Tom Kha soup, and dark chocolate. But really cheese kicks all their asses.
Hm, I would have to say that the 7 foods I would eat every day (if I were a Hobbit and didn't have to worry about slow metabolism and a growing waist) would be: fresh, hot naan, chicken tikka, kababs, pasta/lasagna, french fries, chocolate, and fresh crusty bread or baguette with veggies, blueberry jam, butter or cheese. Yum. I have no self-restraint (nor do I really try to, heh) when I am around those foods. Utterly shameless and happy about it too. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh! Pineapple, papaya salad, fresh homegrown tomatoes, cheese, BLTs!
ReplyDeleteI love lists and talking about food! Perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteLet see... mine would have to be avocado/veggie sushi rolls; fruit (primarily apples, oranges, nectarines, pineapple - as LONG AS NO MELON); dark chocolate; almonds.
It may be boring but I can pig out on all of those! Nom!
Glad you made it safely to the UK :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to try that tofu stirfry the minute I have time to go to the grocery store again. or maybe I will cheat and hit up one of the many noodle shops on University. Yum.
I agree on avocados. I also crave arugula and can eat a pile of it with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmesan. But my all time favorite go-to, the-husband-isn't-home-so-why-cook meal is a salad of arugula with thick slices of pear, thin slices of a white onion, fresh thyme, balsamic vinegar, salt, sugar, and olive oil paired with stinky cheese. YUM.

Kraft mac n cheese w/velveeta packet. Specialty's Caprese Sandwich. Rice-a-roni (pretty much any variation). Breakfast buritto that's all eggy and cheesy and has some pico in it. Cheese quesadilla. If I could have a 6th item, I'd repeat the first item. I really like mac n cheese. :-)
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I love peanut sauce.
