According to Jezebel, Anyone Who Posts Pictures of Food is Anorexic

According to the inflammatory title of a Jezebel article linking to an article based on the speech of the head of the Canadian Obesity Network anyone who regularily posts pictures of their food have eating disorders. Thank you very much Jezebel for your misrepresentation of yet another article. This is the reason I don't check Jezebel anymore. It was never a particularly feminist website but it has devolved into lies, cheap Women's Studies 101, and thoughtless media snarking. I would also like evidence to back up the claims of the woman who made this statement but that really is too much to ask from the internet.

Pot Stickers and Noodle Soup

These vegetarian pot stickers are from Noodle City. The soup is a disastrous attempt to create a stock in thirty minutes. It was too spicy and utterly lacking in flavor despite the obscene amounts of shitake mushrooms and onions I added to it.


Look at how they expand after being cooked


Leek Soup

Delicious leek goodness. It looks greasy and brown because I used carrot stock and added too much oil when frying the onions. Also because I'm not the sort of posh person who only uses the pale part of the leek. There might be potato in here.

Omrice

Found a container of chopped onions and yellow bell peppers and decided to make something of it. We had half a jar of left over tomato sauce and a five pound bag of garlic so I created the horrifying Japanese concoction that is omrice. I was introduced to it by a student years ago and it has haunted my dreams ever since. It is made of rice fried in ketchup and then stuffed in an omelette which is decoratively topped with ketchup. Why the fixation on ketchup? Probably a horrifying consequence of American GIs being stationed in Japan post WWII.


Dumped the garlic in at the last moment so it was basically raw.



Not using the usual cast iron pot because someone's mother didn't clean up after frying certain salmon steaks last night.

The staged version/

What I actually ate.


Salmon Steak and Onion, Leek, Squash Stir Fry Topped with Walnuts

Look at that poor dead creature. I've saved the skull to attempt cold water maceration in a mason jar.

Leeks improve just about any stir fry and of course so do onions and summer squash. The walnuts are part of my mum's attempt to make me eat healthier. The salmon ended up over cooked which tends to happen when we try to cook thick slabs. And yes, that is white rice. Delicious white rice that will destroy my health.

Spinach, Asparagus,Red Pepper and Broccoli Fritatta

I made a quiche on the stove. Rather, I attempted to make a frittata on the stove but my mum suggested I add whole wheat flour to make it a complete meal and the result was the whole thing ended up burnt and disgusting which is why the only picture I have of this lovely fiasco is a wane and under cooked bubble monstrosity.
