I made a brown rice pilaf, loosely following a recipe that I found online.
Got lucky and found some Woo Hoo fresh mushrooms. I need to try eating a
piece of almond and see what it does to me. Allergist said that I had OAS to
them. I had always eaten them but one day they made my throat itchy. I
really love them and they are in this pilaf.

Basically, I toasted some slivered almonds in a little butter. Then removed
the almonds and toasted the brown rice. Added some carrot, cut into small
pieces and some chopped mushrooms. Cooked in chicken broth instead of water.
No salt needed as the broth was plenty salty. Added black pepper, parsley
and a soy sauce. The soy sauce was also salty. Recipe called for 2 T soy
sauce for 1 cup rice. Cook for approx. 45 min.

Also asparagus. These were thin stalks needing only 7 min. in the oven on an
olive oiled baking sheet. Salt and pepper added. Roast till they are done to
the tenderness you like, goodly squeeze of lemon juice on top then a
sprinkle of Parmesan.

Also chicken breasts pan fried in a little olive oil and seasoned with
Montreal chicken seasoning.

None of this was for me. I had Stouffer's stuffed peppers and a little
leftover mashed potatoes. Was not planning to buy the peppers but Fred Meyer
had one of those stupid ads where you had to buy 6 of mix and match items to
get the sale price. Had I known that the toothpaste I wanted was on that ad,
I would be eating something else! Heh! But instead of trekking back to put
the peppers back, I bought their brand of toothpaste instead.

If I don't see it it doesn't exist other than in your nightmares.

LMAO! This is where you constantly amuse me, Julie. All that
serious cooking for others, then you yourself heated up a
commercial frozen dinner for yourself.

Personally, I would have heated up the Stouffer's dinner and told
everyone else to fend for themselves. ;-D

Hey, Janet US and McBiddy are back to their bitching ways, whilst

I do love to cook. I just wouldn't eat any of what I cooked.

I said I didn't know what it was. And I still don't know what that term
means other than rice with stuff added. When I looked it up there were
countless recipes with little to no similarities. I never gave reasons why I
wouldn't eat it.

The last time I did, my throat got itchy. I will buy some bulk ones tomorrow
and try it.

That's rather silly. I'll bet there is some female (or possibly male)
celebrity that you find appealing and yet you can't have them.

I've seen cakes that look very appealing but I don't like cake. So I guess
it's time for a Haiku.

Steve, taking a blind stab
But coming up oh so very empty
Just blathering his inane silliness

And another

Yes, I'm eating some nachos
The clock says it's just past 4:00
And I really don't care

Wrong format.

A haiku contains three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively
and the last line should contain a contrasting idea

Nope. Only has to be 5, 7, 5 for the most simple form. No need for
contrasting idea.

But yours don't have 5, 7, and 5 syllables. The first one has 6, 10,
and 10. The second has 7, 7, and 6.

Your haiku has 5, 7, and 5 *words*, which is different.
