Winter Food: Porridge vs Cornflakes & Stew vs Salad

[wolram]

So it is some crazy -c temperature about my area now, so i thought about winter food ,or if even food makes a difference with changes in weather, like is it better to eat porridge or cornflakes for breakfast, is a stew better than a salad for dinner.

I certainly eat heartier foods - pot roast, meatballs, root vegetables, warm breakfasts, etc. During the summer I tend to eat more grilled/roasted foods, and take advantage of all the farmer's market produce.

During the summer I often have some yogurt with fruit and granola for breakfast or some fruit salad and a pan-grilled muffin. During the winter I'll have heartier fare like oatmeal with applesauce and maple syrup, homefries & eggs, blueberry pancakes, or french toast.

Weather and temperature definitely affect what I eat.

I decidely crave more protein and fats in the winter.. in addition to just wanting my food warm/hot (i.e. soup or chili) rather than cooling (i.e. sodas or ice-cream). This is, quite possibly, due to that fact that I have a high metabolism and no natural insulation.

Unfortunately, our farmer's market also stops in winter... so our consumption of local foods stops, as well as our source for good bread (unless I make some). I miss our lettuce vendor (I don't trust supermarket lettuce). I've nonetheless been happy with the Braeburn apples and the citrus in the stores lately.

Winter food is much better and simpler
Put meat,onion,potato,carrot,and anything else in the fridge that can't crawl away, in slow cooker - wait - eat.

Jacket potato, curry, chilli mmmmm...

One of my favourite cold-weather meals is to chop up a can of ham, stir it into a can of Campbell's Chunky chicken & corn chowder, nuke it for a minute or so, stir in a couple of tablespoons of powdered cayenne and a garbageload of salt. Hmmmm...

Mmmm... sounds strangely good! I'm fond of canned kidney beans with cayenne and salt. There sure isn't anything like cayenne to warm one up... And I feel cold here today... even though it's supposedly 51 Fahrenheit. Rain rain go away!

Bloody hell! We've been strolling around in T-shirts because it got up to -10 C.
We had the front door and balcony window open all day yesterday, and the furnace turned off.

By the bye... my original recipe was using the Chunky split-pea and ham soup, but marriage brought with the the unwilling obligation to minimize under-blanket farting.

Ham rant, akin to Dangers sprout one, ham is the most disgusting, vile, obnoxious (food) on this planet.

Glad to see part of you becoming civilized.. and perhaps some other form of under-blanket activity keeping you warm.
