Tonight we made something ephemeral, something too beautiful(/complicated/circumstantial) to be made ever again, probably. Let me try to catalogue it for you. It was... soup-esque, and honestly one of the most transcendent meals I think I've ever had. There was something, like,,, smoky? Happening??? And it was SO complex and added SO much. This is a picture of Erika's but over mine I added a little float of olive oil cuz there's not much fat in this.

  • Broccoli baked with sesame seeds and soy sauce
  • chicken breast cooked plainly
  • chicken breast cooked with some store bought teriyaki
  • kimchi
  • rancho gordo moro beans cooked with dill and chili flakes
  • veggie water left over after making collards with lemon and garlic and salt and pepper
    ** ALSO with this weird combo we made for the fridge of chicken breast drippings and soy sauce
  • dollop of nonfat greek yogurt

Also after I came home from the grocery store with alarming $3/lb chicken breast ๐Ÿ˜ฌ because my girlfriend and I have different incomes so I try to get the most economical of anything because we split costs, they were like "yo this chx is Suspect, maybe we could spend more than three dollars a pound on the meat we eat", I have now declared myself Meat Daddy and I will be receiptlessly purchasing extremely chichi meat which graduated with honors and slept in silk sheets all their life before being gently humanely sung to death

Well it's kinda how we make lots of food, shitloads of multiply-applicable separate ingredients, proteins and veggies, and hmmmm what's a fun way to combine THIS and ohhh that chicken has GOT to get eaten today, etc etc. I think it's so beautiful!!!!!

ah yes... the careful balance between 'oooh, this meat is a bargain!' and 'oh... hmm... this meat is... suspiciously a bargain.' I did initially start getting Imperfect Foods orders for the purpose of getting bargain meats/fish (my soup tonight contained some!) that I wasn't too concerned about.
