As a lover of food and cooking what do you eat in a day? Do you like to experiment and try new things? Do you have a routine? Are there certain things you have to eat every day? Do you worry about nutrition or just make whatever tastes good?

I'm completely all over the place and just go with the flow.
>Yesterday: Apple, bacon sandwich with ketchup, tomato, cucumber, mango chicken tikka sandwich, pasta, broccoli, bell pepper, tuna, more tomato, more cucumber, an avocado, few Maltesers.
>Today an avocado, porage, egg, half a posh pizza and now waiting for some chicken thighs to finish in the air fryer.

I wish I could stick to a routine to get consistent pleasure and nutrition

Wednesday, it was
>cherry pastry and milkcoffee for breakfast
>Instant noodles with yuchoi
>some apricots in the early evening/late afternoon
>paneer and pickle curry with peas, eggplant curry and beetroot curry, all had with sesame bread I got for 9¢ per roll for dinner
Thursday was
>chocolate biscuits and milkcoffee at breakfast
>fake salade niçoise (because I used a tin of filet mackerel instead of tuna) for lunch
>a mango in the afternoon
>vegetable soup with chicken-and-prosciutto tortellini for dinner
Yesterday, I had
>ham and eggs for breakfast with strawberry smoothie
>some "Chinese soul food" for lunch someone in the Philly thread recommended because I have an appointment in the area
>buncha cherries shortly after I got in
>mac and cheese with crumbled paneer, sides of fried cabbage and stewed okra
Today so far I've had:
>a free jelly donut from Safeway
and I'm cooking
>pork and tomato stew noodle soup with tofu and egg drops
>lentil and spinach soup
I'll likely have some grapes at some point, too.
Basically, my diet is mostly veg, a little everything else.

I like to cook and bake, but my day-to-day diet is pretty plain, honestly. I'm more focused on the macros and getting food that tastes decent without taking a ton of time to make. I eat five smallish meals per day, ideally that I can toss together in just a few minutes each. I cook a lot of stuff in bulk ahead so I can microwave it. For example, I worked from home on Thursday, and I ate the following:
>yogurt, granola, berries, and a sunny egg with espresso
>roasted tilapia (Italian seasoning this time because I wanted to finish the bottle), with some roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts
>refried bean burrito with cheese and some sauteed onions and mushrooms
>sardines, peas, and rice with soy sauce, plus a few baby carrots on the side
>smoked brisket, black beans, and rice with more sauteed onions and mushrooms, with a chicken stock pan sauce and some cilantro
On weekends, my wife and I like to eat out, usually Asian food. Today we had some nice Greek food for lunch, and we're getting Lanzhou beef noodles for dinner.

It was, thanks. I'll let the missus know. We've been eating a lot of paneer lately because we live in a faggot town and everyone is going vegan so milk keeps getting discounted. She makes paneer and we eat it. I mean… at 2lbs of the stuff for $2ish (57¢ for the gallon of milk, $1.49 for a pint of sour cream), how can we /not/ take advantage of that deal? And even the whey gets used because she uses it in place of water when making the curries.

We actually had the pork soup just now for dinner rather than lunch since that was had out after shopping: hot oil fish (not sure what fish it was, something flat, but it came out still sizzling from when they poured the oil on it) with chilli, onion and vinegar, gailan in oyster sauce, saltfish fried rice and bitter melon with egg for me, zucchini with egg for her and kiddo. $30something for all that and they happily swapped in the zukes for the bitter melon for them, probably because they're cheaper so it saves them money lmao
I fucking love HK diners.
