Breakfast in the Ruins

A tiny Book Completion Breakfast for the Maenad today. 

(posted with a slight delay) 

Finally put the Space Girl's Guide to the Empress Imperium (available soon!  Releasing later this September) to bed I am glad I thought to budget for this, especially in light of this month’s rent increase!  Good times!

 

Anyway, I made a nice, large, cooked breakfast with proper ingredients and junk.   

Delicious cod and polluck filets with an olive oil, garlic and a mix of cayenne, paprika and crushed red pepper  a dash of sea salt to finished

On the side we have...vegetables I needed to use up.  Some sliced carrot, and partial bags of both broccoli and cauliflower (I know that never happens right) 

chicken bouillon, a bit of msg, dill as fuck, pepper, garlic salt, onion powder,  some packet noodles to replace the sudden “Oh shit I thought I had those” 4 minute egg noodles I was going to use (fish was almost done!) some olive oil to make the noodles less packet,  A scrap of chopped onion I found at the back of the fridge at the last minute that I sorta liked the looks of.  Only 

Threw everything into boiling water,  added pepper, more dill, a single salt of zatar and put a lid on it til the fish was out.

Cod and carrots came out exquisite, pollack fillets came a bit too “beer battered” for me but the fresh everything do it yourself is finnicky af and 9 dollars a pound right now.   I have no idea what you inlanders are doing to pay for your fish.   Not eat it?:

The last of the morning’s work coffee, a glass of oat milk, and a smoothie best described as “generically green”

Ew green smoothie you say?   

I’m over 50.  Eat me fat shadow bucko  Even my energy drinks are v8

In the words of a very good thief, I intend to live forever, or die trying.  

And there are SO MANY miles already on this Gynoid. 

That’s what the other green is for.  ;)  

A cornerstone of every nutritious breakfast. 

The smoothie came from a bottle as I still lack a blender.  Too expensive at my poverty level lol 

But maybe if the book does well?  We’ll see.   

(A bit of a weird post to come back from the void with but we've been busy.  This is as much a reminder to self to get back in the habit of at least vague maintaining this space. We'll see.)
