From the little vegetarian who ate (and cooked) meat again…

Dijon haddock

Pictured above, tonight’s dinner — courtesy of the good people at Organics on Bloor who had put all meat in their chest freezer at 40% off (just to make room for new inventory, nothing gross or “call the health inspector”-y). Which, as I was in there to buy meat anyways led to a “squh-wee!” and a bit of an insane binge on frozen animal parts (ground bison, what am I going to do with you*).

Which included the above fillet of haddock. Prepared using a mustard marinade (out of Moosewood’s Low Fat Favourites), and sitting with roast red potatoes on a bed of Carolina Kale (also out of Moosewood — thanks big bro).

The photo is of the portions on the EF’s plate. Feel free to note the quantity of potatoes and haddock relative to kale (there are more potatoes hiding under the fish). I give him a speaking to recently. As I now just serve myself more veggies than him, because he never finishes the veggies I give him (unless they’re covered in cheese). And I realized that though the portion sizes have been changed to reflect reality, he was still using the same “percentage” approach to eating his veg. He’s a bad’un. (And if he doesn’t eat his kale his face will get stuck that way and he’ll go blind and a gum tree will grow in his stomach and whatever other old wives’ tales I can throw at him…)

*I’m thinking bison tacos… oh yeah…
