I think, though, that I'm set for life with spacefood. I think. Shout out, though, to quinoa gratins, which was very good spacefood and still a good vegetarian (not vegan) option. Maybe I will go back to them now and again, but I'm basically planning to rotate carne asada or carnitas with korean ground beef, chinese ground pork, or turkey meatballs for protein, and Trader Joe's microwaveable rice with baked sweet potatoes for starch, plus always sauteed kale or turnip or collard greens for greens. So far I've done:
- carne and rice
- ground meat, greens, and rice
- and now ground meat, greens, and sweet potato
- and in winter it'll be carne, greens, and sweet potato
ETA: As it happens, I have a cold and this has been my most successful cold yet in terms of getting pretty chop chop through denial, anger, bargaining, and depression, and practicing acceptance, i.e., staying home from Monday practice and my Tuesday client and when I wasn't back to sorts after two days, which no known science would have led me to expect, also my Wednesday client. But anyway, the point. Is three dinners in a row at home, I'm like this is what I eat?? Almost every day??? I mention this as a pretty good example of your mileage may vary. Even I only love spacefood for how it functions in my life when I have thirty minutes to get something down that's delicious and nutritious relative to whatever I'm rushing off to do that evening, and if I had the whole evening ahead at home, and indeed a string of evenings at home, I'd be auditioning a lot more dinners.
