Chocolate mousse topped with strawberries; Raspberry mousse with whipped cream, Lemon mousse topped with blueberries; Triple chocolate brownie a la mode, Apple cinnamon crisp a la mode, Bread pudding with raisins & vanilla, with buttery whiskey sauce:
Done.
(Actually, there’s still some left in the photo above, but it really was completely finished before we left. I wouldn’t lie to you.)

The “I Launched A Project, I Can Eat What I Want” edition
Posted by chris on May 18th, 2009 5 comments
After eating nothing but americanos, eggs and apples for several days, I’ve been indulging in all the foods I was craving the past few weeks:
- Turkey burger with bacon & onion rings
- Chicken fried steak and eggs. I haven’t had this in years.
- Crab-cake benedicts. Yes, plural.
- Chicken tenders. What the hell is a “tender” anyway?
- Espresso almond brownie, Chocolate chip cookies, Oreo cream cake, Bostom cream pie, Princess cake. Probably some other terrible desserts that I have no recollection of eating.
All I’m missing is the pizza and ice cream. (Together.)
Grocery list #2

Another peek into my latest food conquests…
My not-so-secret problem
- Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 11 brownies from the Apple Cafeteria (details in an upcoming post)
- Belgian chocolate assortment
Grains & carbs
- Kashi Whole Grain Flakes cereal
- Kashi GoLean Crunch Honey Almond Flax cereal
- Organic stuffing mix
Vegetarian assortment
- Eggplant pesto
- Tomato & basil hummus
- Garlic mint cheese
- Sweet jalapeno spread
- Spinach bolani
- Lentil bolani
Bolani is a super thin flat-bread that’s filled with spinach, lentil, pumpkin or potato and baked in a clay oven. I buy it at my local farmer’s market and it contains no meat or meat products. All you do is break off some bread and put on whatever sauces/spreads you think will taste good together. Then try to eat it quickly before anyone asks you for samples.
The garlic mint cheese sounds weird, but I see it getting the most use. It tastes pretty darn good as a base— just throw some sweet jalapeno or eggplant pesto on top and it’s good to go.
Food’s food
- Organic strawberries
- Raspberries
- Cherries
- Navel oranges
Sweetish fish
- Salmon filets
- Lemon
- Brown sugar
One weekend, I got it into my head that I was going to create a salmon recipe that utilized a citrus sauce/glaze. I’ll write the details on this later (complete with pictures).
