I had an appointment tonight at six, and I ate at four. Now I am ravenous. But before I noticed that, I noticed a chip in my manicure, so I fixed it and just re-coated all the nails for good measure. I wish I had noticed the hungry thing first. Well, fast-drying top coat, anyway, so I shouldn't have to wait too long. Still. Poor planning. Or, excellent lack of planning.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

I don't have tortillas or bread! I do have flour. Hm.
I could try to make you egg drop soup, Amy. I never have before because it's not something I like, but for you, I would make the effort.The broth would be made from bouillon unless you're willing to wait several hours. Of course, it'll take you a while to get here, so maybe that'll work out!

I wish I had had that for dinner! I really need to buy avocadoes.
I have been eating avocados for 3 weeks now. I assume I'll burn out on them, but I've been having half an avocado with lunch 3-4 days a week, because Trader Joe's has them really incredibly cheap right now.
To tie 2 threads together, avocados are great in an omelette.

Because books.
I'll start walking now!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've never started a cream soup from scratch with a roux, though.
I couldn't remember. I take it all back, then!

I don't really have anything to fill an omelet. Out of cheese. No mushrooms to hand. No cooked veggies or meat of any kind lying around.
Do you have any bell peppers or spinach? Those are my preferred omelette fillings (along with blue cheese).

So a list of iron-rich foods includes dried beans. Does that mean canned black beans won't be iron-rich, or just less?

Omelette talk makes me think of the best one I ever made, with feta and tomato. It was perfect. I've not made its equal since, sadly.

I do have spinach, but it cries out to be paired with cheese. Mmmm, blue cheese.
I cut up a couple of hot dogs, browned them in butter and then scrambled a couple of eggs in the same pan. Not bad! Though today's vegetable intake is not up to par.

I have! and mac and cheese too.
Jilli, could you use oat flour instead of wheat to start a roux if you were making it yourself?
