Midweek Munchies

Moooore munchies.... that I ate.... in the past... when things were happier.

But first, this sweet blue tongue lizard who kept coming into the catmax, and had to keep being relocated. Dim Sim is still interested in the occasional lizard hunt, though normally the much smaller little garden skinks rather than a chonky friend like this. But I'd hate for her to accidentally injure them through her curiosity.



I had this super-ginger-turmeric-powered afternoon snack at work one day. Oh work, I remember you. The nuts are really tasty and quite filling, though you do end up with bright orange dust all over your fingers! But still, worth it. This is also my favourite kefir, which is super hard to find, so I always get one when I see it.



Here is some cheese tofu scramble with spinach, sauerkraut, and bacon bits.



And yet more scrambled tofu, this time with fried shallots, spinach, and bacon. I tend to use a whole 300g block of silken tofu in these scrambles, and I eat the whole thing.



Back when berries were on special, and I could go to the shops to get them (I am very picky about berry quality, please I need to always make sure that they are not Driscoll because I have boycotted that brand), I enjoyed many raspberries and blackberries. It was a particularly excellent summer for blackberries.



I bought this Sweet Potato Powder on sale from Woolworths for funsies. I mostly used it in overnight oats. My first attempt, also pictured here, had peanut butter and sweet potato powder. I don't normally add sweetener to my overnight oats, but I learned from this that the powder does give it a certain taste that would like something a bit sweet. In future posts you will see my other experiments, I nailed it by the end of the packet.





I am forever letdown by chip flavours not being as intense as I want them to be. Of course I had to get these miso mushroom chips, and of course they were not as strong as I wanted. The flavour was good when you first put it in your mouth, but very quickly vanished and then you were just eating corn chips.



Finally, a sundae I made with So Delicious chocolate fudge ice cream, peanut butter, berries, and coconut flakes. This reminds me that I have at least six flavours of So Delicious ice cream in my freezer, so at least I can enjoy that in these times.

Back to the present. Our white and grey friend, after seeing Dim Sim sitting by the pool, wanted to get a closer look. So came around to the pool (and let me have a tiny head scritch as they walked by me, I've never been able to be close to them before!). Dim Sim is just out of frame at the bottom of the photo. When Dim Sim noticed her admirer, she was not impressed, and did a MROW and her tailw ent puffy and she stalked them away. NO OTHER CATS BUT ME, she says.
