I used them as a crunchy topping for (what else but) tortilla soup. Sometimes I add a handful to the soup itself and blend them in as a thickener.

My biggest pet peeve with some of the local food stores: over-packaged produce (vegetables placed on a styrofoam tray, then wrapped in several layers of plastic wrap). So sad! I vote with my wallet and never buy them.

Vegetarian chili also tastes better after a night in the fridge. Also shred some cheese and have salsa, sour cream and a salad handy. While the chili is reheating, you could warm up corn tortillas. Flan or tres leches cake (or store bought dulce de leche ice cream) for dessert.

By the way, what book are you reading? Maybe the menu could be tailored to the book.

I eat an early lunch and a late lunch. Early lunch was leftover noodles with veggie (meat)balls. Late lunch was a slice of quinoa-kale crustless quiche.

Fascinating post! I do enjoy their TV shows and cookbooks.

I wonder if they are careful about food waste, and if they recycle.

Curry paste is wonderful in fried rice- cooked cold rice, vegetables, tofu/egg strips, curry paste and herbs all fried together in a wok with some pineapple cubes for a flavor contrast- mmm.

Plastic containers are just as convenient to use for packing sandwiches and snacks as plastic bags, and much easier to clean and reuse dozens of times.

Having said that, I do reuse plastic baggies often, and the final use of the bag is to pick up after my dog!
