That looks so yumy! I made some veggie and chestnut soup this morning, it's so tasty and a great way to use some chestnuts- we have a huge tree and the locals tell us it's one of the best in the district).Quote:

For the vegetables I used potatoes, onions, a little crushed garlic, carrots, a leek, a turnip and a quarter of a pumpkin, peeled.
Gives you a veggie soup with a slightly sweet and nutty flavour.

Looks like my mom and I have a food arranging competition going on if you check out my Instagram page.
That seems so "malleable" for a cake. Haven't seen that before.Quote:

Jokes aside, you people are making me hungry with these food pictures!
Yeah, the word cake is used very loosely here, in our language, cake basically means any dessert/snack, whether it’s sour, sweet or salty, soft or hard, crispy or malleable.Quote:

Lunch, two key elements of standard Chinese birthday food are egg(s) and noodles, one for the birth and one for longevity.
Will do.Quote:

Chesnuts….now there is something I’ve never had but wow, sounds delicious and super healthy for the hair. What do they taste like….is there anything they can be compared to, in terms of flavor? Your soup sounds yummilicious. :yumm:
Ok today I’m having homemade beef tomato soup and one of my favorite things in life….fried garlic zucchini. :heartbeat

Today my hair is getting lots of nourishment. I had a breakfast skillet that included bacon, Swiss cheese, mushrooms and spinach. Topped with a fried egg. For lunch I had a bowl of yogurt with some Keto blueberry granola on top.
Continue to practice my egg-slicing technique, I changed the angle and they are all round and adorable. The purple onion is so pretty with the diced carrot and ears of corn and peas. It might be subtle but I am proud of the five pumpkin seeds on top of my square tofu. Oh and the green cornucopia? That’s over-ripened balsam pear, also known as bitter melon.

You guys are posting such amazing dishes! :) We'll be having spinach mash with soft-boiled eggs (as a meat replacer). The moment when you mash the eggs into the potatoes... yum! :yumm:
Harvested some fresh dwarf bok choy today that I grew in my window. Took this shot just before sautéing with garlic and toasted sesame oil :yumm:

P.S. Thanks, Lapushka. Yours sounds delicious too. :smile:
Roasted chicken drumettes and a big salad for dinner.

But to me it’s pretty accessible like purple cabbage, purple carrot, dragon fruit, and onions.
Extra creamy salmon soup the last couple of days. And a whole lot of kiwi because I’ve been craving it. Just trying to disregard the allergic reaction that follows, lol.

Whole wheat penne casserole with chicken, veggies and cheese.

Lovely healthy foods, tuanyiji! :smile: Yes, I adore purple foods (purple anything really :laugh:). Purple kale, purple sweet potatoes, purple bok choy and purple cabbage are some of my faves. :heartbeat
I read it as "Why did you eat your hair today" :lol:
I ate some nuts.
You dishes always look so homey and appetizing!Quote:

Chicken. Serrano ham. Sausages with fried tomato. Turkish yoghurt with kiwi.
3/4 of a plate green beans with 1/4 potatoes and off to the side somewhere were my sausages. :lol:
Homemade fermented salsa and tortilla chips. Eaten for my hair as well as my belly. :rollin:

P.S. Awww thank you, tuanyiji love. You platters are beautiful and the colors are spectacular. :heartbeat

More purple today, I am proud of my egg flowers. I am eating meat, eggs and onion almost every day because protein and sulphur are good for hair health.
I ate lots of protein so far, peanut butter toast, chicken breakfast sausages, and lots of water. Packed for later, acorn squash, kale, quinoa, and cheddar cheese.
