i MADE A POT ROAST FOR VALENTINES DAY

now that being said it was a quality roast the size of a 3 month old baby.
cabbage, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, basil, carrots, celery, greens, olive oil, butter, garlic. bake at 400 degrees for an hour and kick it back to 325 for the remaining time.
the men I live with descended on the meat, and veggies, while I at the veggies. my stomach does really bad things with red meat in it. most meat period.
so today I am eating cut up apple, off brand grape-nuts with almond milk, yoghurt, some goat cheese, coffee with honey, and a new favorite... Rambutan stuffed with pineapple chunks.
AHHH!!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambutan click on the title of this post.

they are like eating a cross between a melon and a grape. they are kinda chewy.
I have always been an adventurous eater. and a good one at that.

I love to eat and love to cook to the determinant of myself and others.
fat men are happy men.
and extremely protective, as three of them worked to keep me happy and keep certain other men away from me, being it is valentines day, and I am the only real woman that they know in there life. and I am sought out and cornered when I am in the kitchen doing my magic.
so one sees the bane of my existence approach, make a call to another who goes and gets a third who is like kryptonite to the bane. still loneliness prevails and I let him bask in my maternal glory, for a certain period, then shoo him out. as I have been told by the three he GETS NO FOOD!
my god do they get possessive about there pot roasts, and her Adorabibbleness!
so while the roast was awesome, the veggies are the hit. I was going to do some veggies today, but sleep won out. so maybe my butternut squash soup tomorrow.
Butternut squash is a pain in the ass to get into, and peel.
I took a chunk out of my thumb and my hand was numb, after four gourds.
simple soup. butternut 3/4ths, potato 1/4, veggie stock, and coconut milk. blend with hand mixer. until you have this lovely butterscotch foam. best really cold as it thickens.
so that is my food porn blog. love ya all.

I've never had rambutan - looks freaky cool!
Thanks for the butternut squash soup recipe - I make it all the time, but not with coconut milk - I'm going to give it a whirl this week.

I had some butternut squash soup yesterday from Marks and Spencer. Let's just say I would rather have had an actual three-year-old baby for lunch.
