Culinary Rituals~Utilitarian or

[curvymommy]

The more I concentrate on improving my diet, the more ritualistic I find I am about the consumption of it.

When I eat leftover grilled chicken breast. I feel compelled to cut it up and arrange it on a colorful plate. Then I make two little square condiment dishes to dip it in and eat it like it's something special .

When I used to eat crap all the time I would just mindlessly shovel it in and hide the wrappers

Someone in my life thinks it's strange like an anorexic I'm normal right?

I like green stuff on a white plate.

Unless I'm cooking for others I don't really care about presentation.

I have been caught many a time with tuperware in one hand and a slab of chicken boob in the other.

And it's not always a pretty sight (think starving at 3am).

But no I don't think what you are doing is abnormal, if you started to chop up your chicken into tiny morsels and pushing it around your plate while others ate I would say you had an issue.

Oh no! I'm putting away at least 2 whole chicken breasts throughout the day.

Maybe it's the Fiestaware talking.

And pounding the chicken first is worth the extra effort.


No, really seriously - I butterfly the thick boobage and pound out in a baggie (I can never remember to buy plastic wrap) and viola season and grill - it's pure heaven.

YES! Pounded not choked as we've fondly spoken of before

Seriously though. I really love it that way as it cooks much more evenly I find. Pounding it in a Freezer zip lock keeps chicken from splattering all over creation too.

I'm gonna do dice up some more for my purty plate!

Ever have a bird in a basket?

Take thick slice of bread (your choice I like challah bread or rye) cut out a circle (small glass) from the center of the bread, butter in a pan, lay the bread in the hot pan crack and egg or two in the hole and wait, now flip carefully not to crack the yoke.

YUM!

That looks really cute on a red plate. Not that you care.

I will do this next time. I'm like that guy Bubba from Forrest Gump who loves shrimp, only with me it's eggs.

I've started to buy them by the 5 dozen flat at Costco for $7.99. I them too.

Not so cute after I smash it with my buttered toast and yellow is smeared all over the plate!!
