Today at Work I Made...

A Flank Steak Burrito. I used the electric grill press to grill steak, onions, peppers, and chayote. They were marinated with lime, cilantro, garlic, and tamari. I added some Colombian sofrito to the rice and topped it with my pickled beets. I'm trying really hard to feed people burritos now since they come is packs of 10 and I know I shouldn't have that much flour.

Today at Work I Made...

A salad. I brought red chard, spinach, a tomato and pickles to assemble a salad. I made a simple dressing with apple cider vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, and dijon mustard. I think a soft boiled egg is great when using a simple vinegar dressing. The vinegar  cuts the yolky lipids and makes a satisfying, creamy dressing. This is my first time using the pickles and they're perfectly sweet, crunchy, and tart.

Today at Work I Made...

Sesame Beets, Salmon, and Black Rice. Beets have been all over lately. I keep a beet box in my refrigerator for snacks and sides and I will be pickling them soon to keep them alive. They taste like sweet dirt. I crave sugar so beets fill and satisfy me. I coated steamed beets with sesame seeds. I added sesame oil and soy sauce as seasoning. The colors were nice today; they were really deep and bloody.
