Hey, does blue cheese count as a cultured/fermented food?

I'd assume so.

I'm going to take Hil's answer as definitive, because it's what I want to hear. Healthfood!

I baked a couple of small sweet potatoes for dinner, so I sprinkled pumpkin pie spice on one and five spice powder on the other, for science, but then I forgot which was which. Will have to repeat the experiment. Fortunately, I see a lot of small sweet potatoes in my future.

Dinner for me tonight is a summer salad, roasted red pepper and basil quinoa, and baked salmon with a lime juice and maple syrup glaze.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yum.

We had spinach salad and pork chops with amber rice. (Secret ingredient: oj). First time I've cooked properly in weeks. Travel is really disruptive to eating well,

My dinner tonight was cheese, bread, and fruit, eaten as quickly as possible because I have an unusually fussy baby tonight and TCG is not home.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Cody is at a late meeting, so I made the kids lentils, plus heated up the leftover eggplant & tomato dish I made last night. I figure that's fairly healthy, and boy do the kids love lentils!

That sounds super healthy, Burrell. I am always kinda surprised when I have lentils and like them (which is basically every time I have lentils, so I the surprise should fade at some point) because the first time I had them was a freeze-dried soup that burnt to the bottom of the pot but we ate it anyway because it's all we had, so anything that tastes better than that is amazing to me. Which is to say, hearing that kids like lentils is also kind of amazing to me. It's my personal spinach or broccoli, I guess ( I always liked both spinach and broccoli).

All of y'all's dinners sound really good. Possibly I am still hungry, but I think those are all legit tasty sounding meals.

BTW, I got the "pumpkin season" TJ's Fearless Flyer in the mail today and it is pumpkin-o-rrific, but it has also kindled an intense desire to try the how-did-this-get-in-here-it's-not-pumpkin product, Toscano cheese with cinnamon. Intriguing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Some of those polishes are pretty aged. Is there maybe a good thinner peeps could use for the ones that have gone goopy?
