I think I will just take Phil's cue on breakfast. In fact, I got up early, as usual, and on seeing my ripe avocados, I slathered some on two pieces of sour dough toast. With coffee, I was full by the time Phil got up. He opted to eat cereal. I succumbed and had a handful of Shredded Wheat and a smoothie. I don't normally drink smoothies in the winter for two reasons. I don't like to consume cold products in general, but especially when it is cold outside.
Second, my Vitamix is in the laundry room (because it is too noisy to be in the kitchen) and it is FREEZING right now in the laundry room. Here is my Vitamix in it's place of glory, underneath my husband's old caps.
It is so noisy, I start it and dash into my kitchen and shut the door. I watch it through the window, in case I have to stop it quickly. This is a picture of me in the kitchen looking through the window of the door.
I digress. We were full until about noon. Then I kind of got hungry. I proceeded to make some yummy Mushroom Strogonoff. I cooked up my favorite egg noodles and made an impromptu salad of tomato, avocado, red onion, beets, and almonds, dressed with vinegar and oil. I think I have finally cured myself of egg noodles, too. I LOVE egg noodles, but they are hard to eat. When I made Strogonoff with beef, the sauce was thicker and the noodles were easier to eat, but they were a real nuisance today. The Strogonoff was delicious, but thin. I will try to thicken with a little corn starch next time.
At any rate, Phil had a Biscotti for dessert, I had a half of one, and we did not munch at all. I currently have two potatoes in the oven and will serve them with roasted broccoli, Greek yogurt, and leftover soup from the other night. The flavor of the Moroccan Vegetable Stew was fabulous.
