Day 2: The Dish



Asian Pear, Blueberry w/ cottage cheese

Took the moisture out of some of the Cottage cheese and cleaned fruit w/ warm water and fruit cleaner. Since pears not organic the best to do is clean off potential pesticides. Pesticide is suppose to stay on when it rains so to truly attempt to clean some of the fruit use warmish water. Fruit cleaners are use in other countries and I use this when needed too. Berries tend to soak up the most pesticide so I found small organic sample less than a cup but enough taste. The pears where not as tasty as some organic ones I buy. So I can see why people that can't get organic may not get a worthwhile sample of the flavor or even want to waste money on dull unflavored food even if it's nutrient rich. I ate the other pear w/ salt for a snack. I have one more and putting in a brown bag to see if it can ripen or if it just gets mealy.

I am cooking a Crustless Quiche w/ out milk or cheese so we'll see how that works out.

Oh it's midnight. I am going out for a $1 beer nite at the local pub. Hope I don't spent all my 7$ for today.

Happy Hunting.
