A vegetarian kind of day

Breakfast was an everything bagel. One side spicy avocado hummus and the other jalepeno cilantro.

Needs BACON

 

I like your spices.,,

 

And a nice steak or some thick cut spare ribs.....

 

I do have to admit tho , those greens sure look good,,,my grandmother would cook collards , and them things were so good , you didn't need anything else with them,,, 'cept maybe a biscuit.

 

Yeah but to do collards properly. There needs to be bacon or pork belly etc....

 

True,,,there always was,,,but eating it was optional,,,,grandma usually used salt cured pig tails ,,,,you know,,,the part of the pig that got the most fertilizer,,,,

 

I know, right.

 

I need to eat with YOU, @runswithdogs!

 

That was yesterday. Today started with bacon and eggs.

 

Today started with bacon, eggs and hash browns too.

I don't have pictures, but my breakfast was a small bowl of chili with an over easy egg on top.

My wife wasn't all that thrilled with the chili (a little too spicy for her) so I used it in a shepherd's pie for dinner with layers of potato, cheeses (cheddar, smoked gouda, havarti and parmesan) also a layer of grape leaves

 

Any food is good, problem with age is that calories eaten have to match calories expended and as you slow down, I am 80, you have to cut down on the high calorie food and I have great problems doing so, and it seems like the food you crave most is the ones you should eat the least of. I am afraid the vegetarian food is much better for me than buttered bacon over a couple eggs for breakfast. YMMV
