Whatcha Eatin'?

[Ghouly]

My wife just made some really delicious cookies. Here ya go: 2 cups walnuts, 1 cup dates, 2 eggs, a splash of rum, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 2 cups shredded coconut. Gluten free, filling, and so freakin yummy!

Cookies like these, when the sugar is substituted (more dates, works, as well as a splash of agave or maple syrup) are paleo and soooo delicious! Cool to see you're heading to the gluten free path.

In other news' date=' the pot pie came out pretty badass. Things to do differently next time: make a more savory or salty crust, and maybe only put a crust on the top. The bottom crust sort of soaked up the gravy and disappeared. But overall it was really good. I'll post the recipe with pics later.[/quote'] There's a trick to this, and it's pre-baking the crust. You do the same method for Quiche, otherwise... soggy crust. Basically all you have to do is place the bottom crust into your pie dish, line foil on top of the crust and press it in, then fill the foil with beans or lentils or rice to weigh it down. This will keep the crust from bubbling up/sagging and will help it retain its shape. You can do this in a 425 degree oven for 5 - 8 minutes. 10 if your crust is really thick. It will have dried out quite a bit, THEN, add your filling and top crust and bake as normal. You can re-use your beans/lentils/whatever, as the baking process does no harm.

Cool to see you're heading to the gluten free path. [/quote'] Great idea. Not really gluten-free, here, just gluten-light. Cutting back where possible. You're not taking my beer. Excellent info! Thank you! We'll put this into practice soon.

[RelentlessOblivion]

It needs a little bit of tinkering first but once I've perfected it I'll be more then happy to post the recipe

I'm having a perfectly paleo dish called Tom Kha Gai, which is a thai lemongrass coconut soup with mushrooms and chicken, fish sauce, ginger, galangal and kaffir lime. YUM

[RelentlessOblivion]

Ginger and galangal? very little difference between the two though isn't there? I usually just substitute ginger for galangal in recipes.

Had a chicken paella for dinner at the girlfriends place, very nice. Before that I had a burger at hungry jacks (Burger King) I'm over fast food now haha

There's both… Galangal sliced into big coins and shreds of ginger too. I'm not really sure what the difference is.

Eating a collard greens wrap/burrito thing. Shredded carrots, cabbage, red bell pepper, cilantro, dill, cashew "cheese" made of cashews sesame seeds, herbs and lemon juice rolled up in raw collard leaves. It's delicious!

Other then that chicken curry to start the week my meals have been rather boring this week, though it has meant getting to use quite a lot of my garlic hot sauce (grandparents got me a bunch of hot sauces for christmas included were a red pepper sauce, the garlic sauce, chipotle sauce, jalapeno sauce and habanero sauce)

[FatherAlabaster]

Made another shepherd's pie last night. Ghouly will be happy to know that Trader Joe's was out of the Parisian carrots and pearl onions. Made it a little more spicy this time. We had company and ate a ton, and we still have more than half of it left. So good.

Had a salad sandwhich for lunch with American cheese from costco (first time I have ever been to one in Australia), Also had beetroot, lettuce and tomato with dressing. Also had party pies

Yesterday I tried Chinese food for the first time in my life! I had fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce and noodles (I think they were also fried) with a lot of vegetables. It was surprisingly good, considering I don't like vegetables that much. The sweet and sour sauce is something you really have to get used to. The best thing were fried bananas.
