What's For Dinner?

Light Caesar salad,, iced decaffeinated Constant Comment and a chocolate candy bar with medications for dessert (the chocolate is to celebrate World Chocolate Day.)

The Trio had their usual crunchies along with cool Milwaukee tap water (to contradict the heat.)

I'm planning on having Asian Apple Salad tommorow along with similar stuff [except for the chocolate.)

May be 'once in a while', but will hardly suffice for me. Our basic food is lentils with wheat bread or rice.
Government has determined the price of one meal at 0.36 USD. Non-veg at 0.72 USD.

A Thai-inspired salad with cashews,a vegetarian burger, tinned pears, decaffeinated iced Earl Grey tea and medications for me, the usual for the :kitty:s.

We had stuff that didn't require any electricity this weekend due to severe thunderstorms that took out the electrical grid here (no stove, no oven, no coffeemaker [which I use to brew tea], no refrigerator, nothing.)

Cold cherry soup, curried "chicken" salad sandwich with stoneground mustard, the last reduced sugar creamsickle, iced Earl Grey tea (decaffeinated, of course!) and my medications.

The :kitty: delegation had their usual crunchies and Milwaukee tap water.

I tried an experiment, making a pizza waffle (it was pretty successful imho) as well as a no sugar added peach pie (diabetes is a pain in the glutes, trust me), and I accompanied them with iced decaffeinated Earl Grey and medications.

The :kitty: delegation had their usual crunchies and Milwaukee tap water.

I "celebrated" Vegetarian Day with a bowl of vegetarian beef vegetable soup and a grilled cheese sandwich, decaffienated Earl Grey tea and my medications.

The Trio had their "usual", but with a sprinkling of catnip/matatabi.

Vegetarian "beef" vegetable soup, water, red seedless grape and medications for me, fresh crunchies and Milwaukee tap water for the :kitty: delegation.

I'm going to have leftovers tomorrow along with cinnamon tea plus my medications and the :kitty:s are going to have water from elsewhere along with their crunchies because the complex's water's going to be turned off for plumbing problems...

I had vegetarian "shrimp" ramen with Chinese vegetables, vegetarian stuffed "chicken" with sharp Cheddar, diet Earl Grey tea that I let cool down, a slice of cranberry apple pie and my ubiquitous medications.

The Trio had a tin of chicken and duck gooshy food along with Milwaukee tap water from their flower fountain (not that they minded...)

I suppose 'no sugar' and some ingredients which reduce weight.
I suppose Phyllis would be horrified by India/Pakistan/Bangladesh tea.
More than one teaspoons of sugar and water and milk in equal quantities, sometimes only milk, and on top of it boiled for 10 minutes to get the deep brown color, fortified with cardamom and ginger in winter, sometimes cinnamon too. :D

Sounds yummy!

Though, I can't drink black tea. Gives me heart palpitations.

Green tea is fine.

I use either stevia or sucralose as a sweetener. Reduces the carbs dramatically, yet is just as sweet (might try your "receipt" for tea, substituting the other sweeteners for the sugar and substituting decaffeinated tea for the regular.)

I reserve the sugar and or honey for times that my glucose levels are too low.

I'm going to try the "receipt" using decaffeinated tea instead of regular.

Anyway, have you ever tried white tea? I have some loose leaf white with rose petals, and I believe that it has less caffeine than even green...

For me the default is to drink my tea plain black, with nothing in it. So I think of tea as inherently calorie free.
(Good thing 'cause I drink it nonstop)☕😋😵‍💫
I am or once was vaguely aware people put additives into tea... but I tend to forgeto_O🥴 and don't think about how sweet or spiced or milky/creamy tea is someone's idea of a regular cup of tea and that diet innovations have to be developed...🫖🍵☕😯
