Mine changes every few months, depending on energy levels. Right now it’s scrambled or boiled eggs with toast.

In the winter I was obsessed with making a cabbage & random vegetable soup. I just shredded the cabbage, cut up and sauteed various veggies in olive oil (carrots, potatoes, parsnips, celery root, etc), put in spices (pepper, thyme, paprika, bay leaf, and whatever else seemed fun), then added the cabbage and waited until it lost some volume, added hot water/stock, boiled for 30-40min. Towards the end I might add some bell peppers or broccoli or other vegetable with a short cooking time. After removing from the stove, I did a couple pulses with the immersion blender to thicken the soup while leaving whole veggie bit inside. Finally, I topped with lemon juice after serving.

Native Greek here, don’t forget the tomatoes! Also the only spice going in there should be oregano. No bacon either. Or it’s not a greek salad :)

I guess I would be a flexitarian.

My partner started eating vegetarian last year, and I followed suit because cooking two versions of a meal was just too big of a headache. When I visit my parents I do eat meat and seafood dishes though, partly because of homesickness for my country’s cooking and partly because my mom likes cooking all her favorite dishes for me and it’s one of the few easy ways I can connect with her.

As time passes by, I find myself wanting to eat meat less and less though, and even in my home country I can now get some of my favorite comfort street foods with meat alternatives.

The experience has made me realize very keenly just how divorced we are from the realities of where our food, and especially meat, comes from. It’s quite a trip thinking about how every non-plant creature on the planet relies on consuming other living beings to keep going. Suddenly I have found myself wanting to pray every time before I eat, because I am grateful that I get to continue to exist because of my food’s sacrifice. It’s just all really so weird.

I’m starting to spend time browsing through neocities sites lately. It’s so refreshing seeing people just write about their lives or whatever else interests them without the whole social media dick-measuring contest. The amount of creativity that goes into the layouts is amazing too, you never know what the next site will look like.
