Hello, readers!
Thanks Jenn for hosting 😉
I am writing this on a Tuesday evening, the shortest school day that ends before 2pm and when i don’t have any after school activities. I am not tired, but just…i don’t know…lazy? I didn’t expect high school to be this hard, i somehow thought it’s all about fun, parties and intelligent discussions. Suuure. It’s more like Test or two a day + little tests with tested or not tested in every subject. AND loads of homework from which i of course only do what i want to ;).
Let’s forget about that place for awhile and look at my day through the food.
Breakfast ~8:10
Barley porridge cooked with apples + peanut butter + fresh fig on side
50/50 ratio of local and foreign food, Barley + apple = local, but figs + peanut butter are not. Just trying to be a locavore you see. To be honest i also added some non-local soy milk and cinnamon when cooking, not so much of locavore anymore :D.
Lunch ~2:20
Potato + cauliflower + leek puree with eggplant + marrow slices on bed of salad
Simple salad : baby spinach + spring mix + tomatoes + roasted walnuts + grapeseed oil
I have been lacking greens lately which is not cool at all so i was happy to get my greens, besides yesterday mom made delicious wheat pasta which while i Loved, my stomach did not. Mom doesn’t really believe in medicine or allergies and doesn’t care much about what doctors or blood test results say, but um, sorry mom, i really am allergic not only to oats,eggs and milk, but wheat too. But indeed allergies SUCK, i still look as if i had a beer belly 😀
Anyway, this meal was pretty local – everything is Latvian except for salad leaves, walnuts and oil.
Dessert
Recycled photo, but it was basically the same ol’ banana + pb and tea
You can probably guess that the only local foodie is tea…
Dinner ~20:00
Leftover salad and this :
Apple crumble with rice flour, cranberries, apples and brown sugar
Served with frozen raspberries and yes, a bit more peanut butter. My mom was the one who made this while i was washing hair, but it’s really easy, just combine all ingredients and put in the oven!
Local ingredients are apples, cranberries and frozen raspberries!
It’s almost 22:00 now and i should probably go to sleep – beauty sleep, since it’s Picture day tomorrow at school! Oh, yes, it is. I will wear something like this, beloved vein tights. There’s a fat chance they will be visible in class photo, but to think of, i am usually put in the front, you know, i’m that beautiful and yea…:D No, but really, i usually sit in the front!
Are you a locavore or eat imported goods more ?
