Student food of the gods.

[absolutedestiny]

Sometimes the simple student life meals are the most satisfying. Especially after a long day of expanding young minds.

Sardines, brushed with mustard and grilled for 1/2 mins (just until they sizzle, shouldnt be cooked for too long)
Big-ass flat mushrooms (one or two), fried in butter
Toast, 2 slices.

Sardines on one slice of toast, topped with lemon juice; the mushrooms and the butter on the other slice with lots of cracked black pepper.

Satisfaction.

I need a EYECH! >o< icon... that sandwich is just about everything I can't stand to eat. Just needs some guacamole & beets to make it complete...

But, to each their own- I'll take my tacos, thank you. :)

...and that's what makes it so good.

(oh and it's not a sandwich - it's two different things-on-toast)

Ah, didn't read things properly.

Of course, I don't doubt there are some people who would turn their noses up on what I most frequently put on toast- peanut butter, a dash of splenda and cinnamon. Yum- the perfect snack before a morning swim. :)

Don't know what splenda is, never tried PB with cinnamon. Sounds like the kind of thing that might be better with a nice hot flakey croissant than toast though :)

[ashyukun.livejournal.com]

Splenda is the current artificial sweetener of choice here. I'd use ground Stevia instead (which is at least natural), but it's so bloody sweet that I can never get the right amount of it such that it's not overwhelmingly sweet or completely unnoticeable.

Basically, I got the idea to try and make cinnamon toast using peanut butter instead of butter, since I was already eating peanut butter on toast for an energy boost before my swims and though I'd make it a bit more flavorful. It does sound like it would be good on a croissant- but I imagine the low-carb/high-protein bread I use is a bit better for my purposes in this case. ;)

:( I can't think of anything I eat that needs to be sweetened. I know I like Splenda in Boylan's Diet Cola, but that's about it. And I only drink that stuff because I'm not allowed to have Coke.

And I don't know what kindof peanut butter you get - but if you use the brands that are already sweetened - adding Splenda is disgusting. I don't like peanut butter, or most breads.

I also don't like fish. So sardines are out. I tried mushrooms and they're good, but not something I'd go out of my way to eat.

And I usually hate butter.

But guacamole is good! My favorite sandwiches are (well, two of them are wraps) falafel (sp?), a BLT on an untoasted kaiser roll, and this thing that has roasted eggplant, guacamole, hummus, tomato and God knows what else inside it.

I think I like fruity pebbles better than most foods out there. Still... I don't even add sweetner to coffee or tea. But peanut butter?!

[ashyukun.livejournal.com]

It should be noted that the peanut butter I use it pure peanuts, and nothing else- so it's quite unsweetened to start out with...

I just had a shit load of sushi.... so, I'm with you on this one.

What kind of student can afford that stuff?

I'm subsisting on dorm food and instant ramen here!

[absolutedestiny.livejournal.com]

you cant afford a can of sardines???!

[kalium.livejournal.com]

OK, so I exaggurate somewhat. I probably could, assuming I could find somewhere to get sardines. On the other hand, my monthly living budget is about $50, so...

Besides, I would need a grill and a place to use it.

[absolutedestiny.livejournal.com]

Do you have the ability to cook *anything*?

[kalium.livejournal.com]

I have a microwave. That is the extent of what the dorms allow. So, I have to be inventive with hot water, which is pretty limiting.
