Monday Breakfast

In reply to table manners ... obsession?, posted by Medusa on February 7, 2004, at 7:49:50

This morning, co-host found his own breakfast and left very early for work.

I made tea, and started lunch preparations: into the skillet went chicken broth, some mineral salt crystals, then fresh-minced garlic ... then a pound of diced tofu. That simmered for a while, then I added some powdered herbs: citron grass, cumin, galanga, white pepper, paprika.

Then Guest got up, came in and took a look. He didn't say anything. He went and showered, and when he re-appeared I went back to the kitchen. He followed me. From the window sill I took a container of sprouted mung beans and stirred them into the tofu. Guest watched. Then I took the container of wheat-berries-sprouted-and-showing-leaves and mixed them in, and said, "hmm, now I just have to marinate this and let it sit until lunch time."

I made a few telephone calls to schedule appointments for Guest. Then he asked, "so ... um ... what are you going to marinate the tofu with?" I gave a vague reply.

After Guest's first appointment (a photo shoot with a local photographer - Guest could really use some good pix for his on-line pursuits), Guest declined to return to the apartment for lunch - he insisted on taking a very slow train to a museum some distance from here, which yesterday he'd felt quite sure we could drive him to see.

(For any foodies on the board ... at lunch-time, I made brown basmati rice with a bit of field grass seeds aka 'wild rice' - I'm no vegan, but found the meal edible on the whole.)

I know, I should be getting much-neglected work done now, but I had to post. Thanks to all for the advice, anecdotes, commiseration etc.
