Are you in for another episode of Food Talk Wednesday? Good because that’s on the menu today. If I was one of those bloggers who can make even soup [don’t tell me you haven’t had the soup phenomenon happen to you yet if you’re a (food) blogger!] look awesome. However, I’m not. Actually, I might have the potential to improve but my impatience once food appears in my focus – at least when my stomach agrees it’d be nice to get its fill – is incredible. Spending more than five minutes to get a shot of whatever it is we’re talking about? Well, I don’t think so. That’s why for now – and when I say for now it means I’m not giving up hope of my patience increasing one day – you’ll have to make do with more talk than food. But there is some of that after all so let’s get started.
Confession: Post- and occasionally also pre-breakfast snackage these past days has always included a handful of these. So writing this post on Wednesday morning I can confirm that yes, I’ve already had some today.
Erdnussflips, friends. Also known as: ridiculously addictive peanut curls. While plain old potato chips don’t exctite me much at all these are my kryptonite. They’ve been since I grew up – when my dad still thought it was funny to call them worms. Mmmh, appetizing. Looking back, it’s only natural I developed a nut butter addiction. Hm … now I wonder how dipping these into peanut butter would taste … <- Read: it will happen today. But first, breakfast.
Remember my Tupperware oatmeal? I’ve reverted back to the slightly classier style of serving them in a pot again. In case you’re new here: that’s the way I roll and no, I don’t grab a huge spoon and eat them straight from the pot. It just keeps the remainder nice and warm while I’m scooping out smaller servings into a bowl. Also, that swirl would be soy creamer and only for decorative purposes – I still add almond butter post-picture but by now you should know my ways.
It’s essentially the same concept for lunch. I wouldn’t absolutely need to assemble this impromptu Polenta Chili Casserole into a casserole dish. But it looks so much fancier all nicely layered pre-serving. Don’t ask about the mess when scooping out individual servings, though [yes, I eat the whole dish].
Okay, for those who asked and also because you can’t tell what’s in there exactly. This is the messy just-plated version. Yes, I’m aware it looks like [insert unappetizing noun] but oh my does it taste amazing. In fact so much so that I’ll post the recipe once I get some at least a little better pictures. It’s quickly become one of my go-to dishes and I only repeat those I really like. It’s vegetarian comfort food at its best. Maybe I’m using that phrase a little more often but it really is.
Dinner escaped the camera [read: I forgot a out a picture until I was about halfway through and then didn’t bother anymore because it was dark in anyway] but given I snacked a lot throughout the day and none ends without something sweet …
Chocolate. Four squares of one of these bars because nobody’s truly satisfied after one. Also, I should add that this is by no means everything I ate all day. I’m a serious snacker and if I wanted to picture every nibble and bite I’d end up with 384758 pictures in one What I ate Wednesday. I hope this will still be considered playing by the rules by Jenn and Arman.
Enough banter now, go and enjoy your Wednesday that’s hopefully sunnier than around these parts [read: the sun’s hiding].
Happiness-inducing today: Calling one of my best friends who lives too far away for a spontanous visit but it makes us all the more thankful for the invention of telephones.

What’s your favourite kind of vegetarian chili?
Are you satisfied by eating a single square of chocolate? I feel I might be taking after my dad who can inhale a whole bar. It might not have gotten that far for me since I tend to actually savour it but half a bar can happen. Chocolate comes from a bean so it’s technically a vegetable, right 😉 ?
Ha! I hardly spend more than two minutes getting a good shot of my food. The chili sounds yummy though!
Thanks for seeing the beauty within, Tiff :D. The chili was really good. Also, I’m glad to know i’m not the only one lacking patience around food.
I love reading and blogging about food – yet i’m the same way. Just use my phone camera and spend about 5 seconds doing a photo. I really should try harder … soup does look so unappealing! And that chocolate looks so interesting – is it bitter?
The Lindt bar isn’t bitter at all. It’s one of the semisweet kinds with a delightful spicy kick from the chili. I highly recommend giving it a try if you can get your hands on it!
Those peanut curls look so good! I love crunchy, puffy food like that. Cheese doodles were my weakness!
I really want to try the Chili chocolate. I’m a bit hesitant on it thought.
though* Oops!
Peanut curls?!! I need to find that magical snack! It sounds so good!
I have never had chili but I am definitely intrigued! Also, I am not even sure I am satisfied after four squares…. the more chocolate the better! 😉
Hola my fellow Lindt lover! Well you did convert me 😉 …now don’t be too appalled but its been a good long while since I’ve had chocolate straight up. I know! But only because I’ve been too busy getting my chocolate fix multiple times a day in the form of mug cakes and cookies 🙂 . A lack of quality chips means chopping at a Lindt bar for me. P.S. let this serve as a verdict that I am in fact still alive and well. And I hope you’re doing fabulously yourself ❤ .
