IMBY Diet - Day 3
Breakfast: Bowl of fruit & berries
Ingredients: Apples (Red Astrican and Early Harvest), white current, raspberries, gooseberries.
Cut up the apples sprinkled the berries, Volia!
Lunch: devilled eggs with microwaved potatoes on the side.
Devilled eggs Ingredients: eggs, 1 potato, red onion, dill, celery and wild garlic.
I microwaved a potato for 4 minutes. Boiled eggs sliced them in half removed yolks. Chopped dill, celery, onion and garlic finely, and put it in a wok to heat them up.
Put the potato, yolk, and wok mix all together in a bowl, added a little bit of water and mixed by hand. Rolled mixtures in to balls and set them it the whites of the eggs.
It was okay, It was a little dry, and I think there was a bit too much potato.
But I think it would better with some paprika.
Supper: Veggie Salad
Ingredients: Lettuce, peas, beans, carrots and green peppers.
I am not a big salad fan, I wish I was. Usually the kind of salads I like at restaurants are the kind that have higher amount of calories than the majority of the entrees available on the menu. (finding out the calories for the meals at the restaurant’s website afterwards).
But it was much better than I Anticipated. I was super hungry at supper time so I had some of the ox tail soup leftovers.
Dessert: Applesauce
Ingredients: apples (Red Astrican and Early Harvest ) and maple syrup
Chopped up the apples added 2 table spoons of the remaining maple syrup ( I really hope we have more jars left). Put it all in the magic bullet, ready to serve in 15 seconds.
The apple sauce was AWESOME. Those apples are great for apple sauce, I am tempted to make apple butter ( apparently you just keep boiling down the apples until it mysteriously becomes butter, but it might take a long time to do.)
This morning I weighed in at 74K (162.8lb). I felt really lazy today, plus I was busy with school. So I made a simple breakfast, and a semi simple lunch. I had to drive 1 ½ hours for a school appointment. I did not plan well I was starving at 5pm and I still had to drive back home. When I got home I immediately went to the fridge and ate leftovers of the ox tail soup. The highlight of my meals was definitely the apple sauce. I have made this before with apples from the grocery store. WOW this was 10 times better.
Term:
Early Harvest: (Yellow June, Yellow Harvest, Yellow Juneating) - Early Harvest is believed to have originated in the 1700's in Long Island, New York. It ripens over an extended period, grows well in all types of soil, and is prized for its great eating and cooking qualities. The fruit is small to medium in size with smooth, pale yellow skin with an occasional small reddish-orange blush on one side and whitish surface specks which darken as the fruit matures. The tender white flesh is crisp and juicy with a brisk, tangy flavor. Ripens June to July in most areas. http://www.bighorsecreekfarm.com/descriptions2.htm
Westen Price born in 1870: "… had personally witnessed the rapid increase in dental problems beginning around the turn of the last century and was convinced that the cause could be found in the modern diet" Michael Pollen. In Defense of Food. pg 94
" Where ever he found an isolated primitive race that had not yet encountered the 'displacing foods of modern commerce' – by which he meant refined flour, sugar, canned and chemically preserved foods, and vegetable oils – he found little or no evidence of 'modern degeneration'- by which he meant chronic disease, tooth decay, and malformed dental arches. Either there was something present in the Westerm diet that led to these problems or there was something absent from it. '' Michael Pollen. In Defense of Food. pgs 96-97.
