There's plenty of interesting things to talk about lately, and I'll get to them soon. I'm on something I've titled "research-cation" where I'm still kind of working, but it's also kind of like vacation, but really I'm mostly working on doing research for MediaGoblin's future.
In the meanwhile, I'm back in diet mode, basically because the MediaGoblin campaign was hard on my health. But also, the tooling I had in orgmode was never that great, so I've revamped org-diet. I might write a separate post on this... there's a lot of reasons why I did the revamp (it's not in master yet, but in the date-tree branch). I'm now doing daily uploads of my current health status which you can view here (yes, org-diet now is super flexible about generating reports).
I'm not going into details on that in this post, but I did recently just re-make one of my favorite recipes of all time with a number of adjustments. I forgot just how good it is. Anyway, here it is:
Ingredients | Calories | Quantity | Total |
---|---|---|---|
head cabbage | 290 | 1 | 290 |
tbsp olive oil | 119 | 1 | 119 |
Westsoy baked tofu square | 90 | 4 | 360 |
medium onion | 44 | 1 | 44 |
can kidney beans | 385 | 1 | 385 |
apple | 71 | 2 | 142 |
tbsp nutritional yeast | 25 | 2 | 50 |
tbsp vegetarian bullion | 0 | 1.5 | 0 |
tbsp tamari / braggs liquid aminos | 0 | 2 | 0 |
tbsp cornstarch | 30 | 1/3 | 10 |
clove garlic | 4 | 4 | 16 |
Total | 8 | 177 |
This recipe is cheap, healthy, and most importantly, delicious. It has very few calories (a mere 177 calories... that's nothing!) but tastes pretty amazing. I usually start some rice in the rice cooker before I kick this off… put in two cups and that's a mere 120 calories on top of this. Only 297 calories! Despite that, it's quite filling. (Tasty, too!)
The nutritional yeast is optional, but I like it. You can use whatever bullion you like, but I like the Frontier Natural Products beef-ish tasting vegetarian bullion. Alternately, adding brewers yeast and a bit more salt is great.
You also don't have to use the westsoy baked tofu. You could use any other protein here. A lot of other kinds you have to fry up in advance though, and the westsoy stuff is already done and tastes great and I'm lazy. If you don't have tamari or liquid aminos, just up the bullion.
This makes 8 servings! It usually takes me about 50 minutes to make but I'm slow.
Okay, so! Here's my recipe. You're going to need a large pot, a large cutting board, and a large mixing bowl.
Enjoy!
