Depends on what kind of mind you want. Calm / Energetic / Inert... and foods accordingly.

It looked perfect to me, though I hope he brined that pork.

I made bouillabaisse last night, with rouille on a fresh baguette.

I want a mind that can make sense of what I see and think and act energically and confidently with what I observe. I'm afraid foods can't increase my potential, but only definably, within limited parameters, influence it.

'I am what I eat and how I eat it.' Foods can certainly dull, blunt and damage your potential as the history of MSG and such similar have shown.

Good thing I have an aversion to anything fishy.
On a mental level it makes sense. Physico-chemically, though, we first overcome, denature, foreign substance through digestion and then make into our own, individualizing it.

Don't know what to call this...


It's fish, over veggies, over rice, baked.

Pork belly, brined overnight with herbs and braised for 6h at low temperature to completely render the fat, served over fall greens (kale, chard, spinach) sauteed with olive oil and meyer lemon, and buttered fingerling potatoes.

Autumnal greens and taters look good.

Lamb Shanks, made Gordon Ramsay spicy... and slow-cooked (3 hrs) to perfection.


With a side dish of Greek lemon potatoes (not shown), and a yogurt, mint, sauce, as a dip.

Sesame Beef and Broccoli.

I got a bit heavy-handed with the greenery in the end.

With the leftover corn I added beats, from last night, and oyster mushrooms, my favourites.
You can see it in the back...a bit.

I love chocolate with hazelnuts....and my favourite ice-cream flavour, after vanilla, is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Eggplant baked, with salt/pepper and a bit of olive oil, then allowed to cool... and then rolled in a mix of ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, spinach, Parmesan cheese, (I added cracked ground to crumbs) over tomato sauce, Napolitano style, then topped with mozzarella cheese.

Extra spicy Sambhar...

Curry, chickpeas, peanuts, corn and quinoa, cooked with fennel and coriander...cucumber tomatoes...on the side

Never tried it in that combination, looks interesting.

My own invention...


Fennel, coriander, curry, onions, garlic, ginger, paprika, hot pepper, chickpeas, rice, onions, quinoa, cumin and coconut milk...
Top it with a few tomatoes.
Salt and pepper of course.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]


Quinoa, dill pickle, radish, cucumber, dried dates, tomatoes, green peas, carrots, and as dressing mix yogourt, garlic, olive oil, oregano, cubed cucumber, left overnight....salt/pepper to taste.

I'll top it off with crumbled walnuts, and olives.....

Quinoa looks yellowish because it was boiled with a tbs of turmeric added to the water.

Optional: feta cheese, cubed apples.

Found some fresh chickpeas at the market.

It took me an hour to clean them by hand.
About an hour and I got no more than a bowl like this:

Got to thinking, as I did, about how much effort, time, it takes to prepare one dish.

Now we take it for granted, with machines cleaning and removing the shells, and preparing what we eat...but. in the past, it must have taken hours to prepare one meal, if you had any food.
Just think how much work went into growing, collecting, cleaning, and preparing wheat, until it became flour.
Then add the time to prepare it cook it, in the basest form of bread.

Crustless Vegetable Quiche

Simple, delicious, couscous.
