What's for Dinner Tonight? Join the Tea-obsessed Craze!

[Huckleberry]

Well, since today is our 19th anniversary we were supposed to go out for a nice dinner. But guess what Tsu wants instead: Steak and cake. She says that she's on a rhyming diet - the newest thing I guess.

Happy Anniversary!

I guess oranges are off the menu?

There is some zoobie food that rhymes, but they wouldn't want to eat it.

Oranges and cake...steak and oranges...?

Finally a fad diet that makes sense! ;)

Happy Anniversary! And yes, I agree, that's the sort of diet I'd like to be on!

Ivan, Congratulations man! And to Tsu, for putting up with you all these years.

Well as long as its not "shake and bake".

baked potatoes and sliced tomatoes

From where I come, tomato does not rhyme with potato - nor for the plural.

Tonights menu included a perenial favorite---Tomatoe soup. Not the goop that comes in a red and white Andy Warhol can either. Oh no, fresh homemade zest tomatoe soup with fresh cut chuves and lemon juice/zest blended into liven things up!

What goes better with soup than a sandwich? I can't conceive of anything going better with fresh zesty tomateo soup, so we---my wife and I---had Banh Mi sandwiches. Bahn Mi goes very well with the lemon in the soup---not as well as with Nuoc Cham, but close.

Bahn Mi is a Vietnames pork sandwich for those who are not inclined to google it but curious none the less and nuoc cham is a sweet dipping sauce also used as a spread sometimes on Bahm Mi.

Enjoy.

Thanks all. I consider our years of marriage proof that anything is possible!

Breakfast

What about breakfast?
It's the most important meal but I just can drink a cup of tea.Although my doctor told me drinking tea is dangerous for my health!

I cook just about every night - most times, nothing fancy - but quick stuff, since I have to cook for 4. After a days work, I don't want to get too involved in cooking. On the weekends, maybe something fancier if we don't get something from some place like Subway.

Fascinating.

Sounds like your doctor is a quack, unless you're drinking some weird type of toxic tea.

Unless you're prone to kidney stones. Much to the dismay of my southern friend who loves her sweet iced tea, she's been cautioned to avoid tea because she's already had problems with kidney stones and something in tea can lead to kidney stones/make them worse (this doesn't apply to those herbal teas, just the regular black tea). I've never looked into why it's bad though.

It's the oxilates. "I had an oxalate stone. What type of diet should I follow? Do I need to avoid foods high in oxalate?"

If you have had a kidney stone that contains oxalate, some evidence (research) suggests that limiting high oxalate foods may help reduce your change of forming another oxalate stone. Foods that are high in oxalate include: peanuts, tea, instant coffee (more than 8 ounces a day), rhubarb, beets, beans, berries (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries, etc.), chocolate, Concord grapes, dark leafy greens, oranges, tofu, sweet potatoes and draft beer. Because the stone contains calcium and oxalate, you may also need to follow the calcium recommendations from the last question.

Tea in general (and there are so many types of "tea" nowdays) is not hazardous to your health.
