I do the same for a stick of celery.

Dear John,

Considering your doubles, I would like to enter two items into the record prior to the much anticipated salad cheese reveal:

1) whereas a carrot, being a root and not containing seeds, is regarded to be a vegetable, and most certainly not any form of liquid derivative of one or more basic ingredients (of which it is one(1)); a carrot itself cannot be the subject of a reduction; and further a carrot or other vegatable or combination thereof, in the absence of equipment suitable for reducing, cannot therefoer enter the possibility of a state of reduction.

2) Are you seriously not eating the peels? That's nutrition central, and said curly peels make a great garnish after chopping them a bit down to, say, frito-like size for easy handling.

With remorse about possibly losing John over a Dear John post,
John

It's tomato time.

Chopped tomato on top.


>>48592
and the cheese reveal is: nothing!

This is the basic salad, TBH I just eat it like this most of the time. Sometimes I dress with sesame seeds or parmesean, and I have been known to sprinkle vinegar and oil on a salad now and then.

>reduction
I am probably just using the wrong word, John.

>peels
I know. Next time I do potatoes I should show you how I bake the peels into chips. I suppose I could try it with carrot peel sometime.

Dear John,

That's a fine salad. Following a healthy diet is very important.

You should also be eating the peels. Glad to hear you do that with potatoes. Their peels are very healthy.

John.

Dear John,

These are potato peel hash browns.

Not my best work, and forgive the lack of progress photos.

I rescued these from Jane's cooking; next time I do it myself I will make a proper series.

-John

Crutons or some form of chip are necessary for Sallad

How do you, John feel about roasted pine nuts?

>>48608
Applicable. The crunch would work I guess but they need to be evenly sparsed and not lumped or too rare. It would be hard to guarantee you get one in every bite

>>48627

I agree with you, maybe if the Pine nuts sticking to some feta cheese.
Anyway thank you, it is an important point you have raised and now I will think about it

>>48595
John,

Please do with the potato peels. My parents once tossed them on the compost pile before I could capture them for frying myself, which is a better fate for them than a landfill, I suppose. One begins to wonder about the possibility of a root peel soup on the notion of a winter root soup with a cream and cheese theme. Perhaps a french onion style stock sensibility?

Keep us updated. I scarfed a good fistful of depressing shredded mozerella I found in somebody's salad today. Being one step above dehydrated and bleached emulsifiers and left over milk byproducts from pork teets mixed with used chinese oil, it was quite satisfying, and even remained pliable at approximately 23F. Truly a marvel of modern food science. Imagine mammals having this much trouble with milk and milk accessories.

Dear john I begin to tire of salad. Imo, lettuce is terrible for food, except as burger veggies.


I prefer soup with cabbage. Or having celery with homemade dip

>>48645
Soups are great. Easy hack for super soup; buy a can of soup and throw any meat into it. Better to bake or fry the meat first, but you don't even need to

Turns shitty veggie soup into le epic meal

I believe you.

or, "how I learned to eat yogurt with chop sticks, and not let plant matter go to waste".

>>48672

could you post just a picture of the plant matter in question in few days time, please.
I remember a certain challenge involing said leafage, nice and wilted on a plate.
Oh gosh

well thank you for both pic's I like them

>>48672

What is the proper method for eating yogurt with chopsticks anyway dear john?

Americans are completely retarded now.

Americans will look you in the eye and say smoking was banned because the state wants to get more money from cigarette taxes.

How was your salad, John? I hope my placement of the comma was appropriate... Regardless, I do enjoy a good salad with croutons, green peas, sardines, sliced chicken pieces, and some ranch poured on.

Wow.

Turks say tyranny is perfectly acceptable because North Korea is also a police state.

>>48606
Croutons, oh croutons, why hast thou forsaken me?
Not available on the local market until recently and sub-par to be kind. Have tried making my own (learned to do it in a bistro when I was 15), but takes too long with full-time employment, etc.


Anyways,
John

For now, I wanted you to know that I made a snakeberry banana smoothie (I stole the berries from company property, nobody cared).

The only photo I have is of the berries; about a double shot-glass full. They have no discernable flavor, but I hear they're high in Vitamin C. This, two bananas, yogurt; en frappe.

It was bananas.

Also, I promise I will get around to the full tutorial on my fried potato skins. TBH, I have refined my technique over a few years.

Tomato bucket 2.0 and ice bucket are still together.

>>48608
Nuts are good protein if you are getting the exercise to justify it. For simplicity's sake, I occasionally dump a can of tuna flakes (oil canned) on this or a bowl of pasta.

>>48698
You roll up the yogurt like sushi rolls in the celery leaves, then use the leaves to wipe the container clean at the end.

Then you have celery sticks to work with.

>>48792
It was /eh/; nothing you'd pay for in a restaurant, but satisfactory nonetheless.



Sincerely,

>>49171
I usually put a protein shake in the blender with frozen fruit for breakfast during the week. I often don't feel like eating and this can last me until my mid morning break.

Hello John,

I highly recommend trying baby spinach as your roughage for salads. Not only do I think it tastes better, but it begins in a much more palatable size. Highly consider this in your next salad in replacement of lettuce or cabbage.

In the fruit, John
