Jeff came into town and one morning we made Eggs Benedict, except with real bacon instead of the fake Canadian variety. Also, a slice of pineapple.

salmon with pan roasted carrots & a summer vegetable casserole
I am having trouble with the summer. While eating a bowl of whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce for breakfast, I started sweating.
I do love whole grains, I think they’re healthy and pretty much the best way to fill up, but I’m beginning to think my eating habits are wintery. Everything I eat is heavy.
I don’t really know what I am supposed to eat in the summer. I eat a bunch of fruit, I eat a bunch of vegetables but fruit and vegetables don’t fill the hollow, pit of a stomach I have been blessed with. And I often snack on them raw. What am I suppose to cook?
mustard potato wedges
Currently in the throes of moving, packing things, spent much of last week in Chicago. Sorry for the lack of updates. Hopefully Chicago will offer better food, maybe eating out sometime without meatwiches.
Last night we had some excellent potatoes—mustard roasted wedges. August and I ate most of them too quickly to take a picture.
vegan mashed potatoes
This is vegan mashed potatoes. Earth balance and soy milk and potatoes. They were made by Jenny and were excellent, if a little undercooked (but this is my roommates fault for stealing the burner).
They are topped by tofu, carrots and zucchini. We decided to bread the tofu cubes and sauté it. This doesn’t really turn out too well, the breading falls off and sticks to the pan (unless you are deep frying it). Regardless it ended up tasting pretty good with the addition of curry powder, mustard and apple cider vinegar.
a return to meat
Sweet potatoes and regular potatoes mashed up (they were made by Rachel). They have butter and heavy cream and soy milk. This is my favorite use of my kitchenaid mixer. In fact, this is one of the few things I have done with my mixer so far. The asparagus was roasted with garlic and oil in the oven
Pork chops marinated in an excellent sauce by Jeff and cooked with onions, celery, garlic, mushrooms, carrots and cabbage. The resulting vegetable mixture with pork juice was used by some as a sort of gravy in a pit in the potatoes. This tasted good but looked sloppy—and as I am attempting to improve my food photography, is not depicted.
