what dinner could you eat evey day?

[saraskitchen]

I could eat mediterranean food every day....hummus, flatbread, tabbouleh, kabob, etc.

Ramen. Not the 9 cent version at the market, the world's-best-hangover-cure I used to get in Japan. They make a smashing variation in Singapore too.

I couldn't eat the same dinner every day. I don't even shop for dinner sooner than the day I'm cooking it! (I'll admit that if a meal had bacon as part of it, I'd eat whatever it was indefinitely. )

However, I have a habit of eating the same breakfast for years at a stretch. Oatmeal with raisins, plain yogurt with berries; bagel with peanut butter and a small nonfat yogurt; or my current breakfast, which is part of my diabetes prevention eating plan: toasted english muffin with natural peanut butter and sugar free jam, plus four egg whites washed down with a huge mug of coffee.

For what it's worth, JohnnySeattle, in my "bad eating" days I'd sometimes make a package of ramen noodles, swirl a beaten egg in the broth, and add sesame oil and hot sauce for breakfast.

What the heck is "bad" with that? That's the way I make it all the time, though not necessarily for breakfast. Also with some leftover meat, some tofu if on hand, and some chopped vegetables. Miso is also nice.

My own addiction would be to Missouri country ham. Had my first taste at age four at the family farm in Jackson - near Cape Girardaeu - and decided I didn't want to eat anything else for the rest of my life. Haven't quite made that goal, but have one every Christmas from Esicar's Smokehouse in Cape.

I nurse it for months after Xmas- still have some frozen slices for sandwiches and some chunks for ham salad from the '06 ham.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I eat the Spicy Shrimp one at work ALL the time. Buy it by the case in fact. Little shoyu, little sesame oil, little lime... wowsers. But it's just not the same.

My brother proposes that the phrase "too much bacon" has no meaning in English.

Black pudding. It's the food of the Gods. Closely followed by lamb stew.

Mmmm... nothing! But it has way too many calories and way, way too much sodium for me.

Grumio, I'm right there with the bacon quote.

Don't understand the calories part. An egg and some chunks of whatever meat is hanging around, noodles... how bad is that? Other than those, I use diced bell peppers, celery, carrots, bean sprouts, julienned bamboo shoots, other politically correct ingredients. It's better made with chicken stock rather than water, but still seems pretty low-cal.

Too much salt, I can see. The flavor packet is mostly salt, and the soy and miso are pretty heavy.

I like to turn it into hot and sour, with vinegar, toasted sesame chili oil, and cornstarch. I also usually add one of those fist-sized wads of bean threads to the soup at the end. Still not a lot of calories, far as I can see.

Getting hungry. Gotta go.

I'm with Shel, I don't think I could eat the same meal day in and out.

Calories in Maruchan - Ramen Noodles, Chicken

I don't like the salt and love to reduce the carbs, si I use 1/2 pkg or so of the flavoring and about 1/2 of the noodles. Then I add some hot pepper flakes, my ground pepper blend which include Szechuan peppers, lots of veggies (mushrooms, bamboo shoots, some matchstick carrots, zucchini, grated ginger, garlic - maybe some thinly sliced chicken or pork - just a scosh of low sodium soy sauce, mostly for color, some chard or other greens cut in a chiffonade) and make something of a hot and sour soup from the base. A little unseasoned brown rice vinegar, a couple of drops of sesame oil .. cheap eats, but tasty, and, seemingly, not too many calories and somewhat reduced salt.

I leave out the egg and the tofu and fill up on veggies.
