Pictures of food

Often I think "This would be a good story for the blog" and then I forget to take pictures.

So instead of the stuff I've been doing lets take a look at what I've been eating. We're making an effort to eat less meat, really chicken, pork or beef. This has mostly taken the form of burritos.

The magic here is that they're super easy and can be made from just about anything. For purely vegetarian we'll grill some peppers and then warm up a can of beans with some taco seasoning. Start with a layer of rice. I usually use white rice, Angie tends to use a rice pilaf like from Goya. Then some beans, and the peppers. You might like onions with your peppers but they upset Angie's stomach.

A couple weeks ago the grocery store had tuna steaks on sale. I've ruined quite a few unsuspecting tuna steaks. The thing I've learned is to not overcook them. This one is done, you might not think its done but you're wrong. Cook it any more and its ruined.

Really good, big wraps are hard to find, if you've got a hispanic grocery near by they're your best bet. Fortunately our local grocery has good ones. Here I've added some Caesar salad which gives a nice flavor. I forgot to add salsa before I took the picture and had to go back later.

This is haddock with "Magic Fish" coating. Again pan fried but haddock wants to be cooked all the way through.

At home we steam the wraps before we assemble, this makes them slightly sticky which helps keep them rolled. At the great northern estate I grill them a little in a cast iron pan which seals them shut. I like the little amount of crunch they get when I do that.

I should note that this is also a good way to eat cheap, I bet we're only looking at maybe $2 per portion.
