Fish Food and Fish

I ate fish food for breakfast.



I kid. I kid. It is just "Bran Buds." Hehe.

No, I am not 80.

No I don't have bowel problems.

I just felt like cereal this morning, and that is all we had in the cupboard!

I also had orange juice.



It was tough getting to work this morning on a cold Monday - but I made it and it wasn't so bad after all. I think it will be a good week :-)

I was lucky enough to have leftover pad Thai for lunch today. Mmmm, gotta love leftovers!



I also had yogurt topped with coconut and chia seeds. Everyone in the staffroom looked at my chia seeds strangely, and asked me about them.

I think they think I am weird.

They are catching on. *Note to self - Find a way to throw them off.*





After work I went to the local fresh fish shop and picked up some fresh pacific salmon. I made some sweet potato fries (tossed in egg, salt, pepper, and chili powder - baked about 30 minutes), and a Curry mustard mayo dip.

Curry Mustard Mayo Dip:
(Source - Friend Alaina :-)


- 2 parts mayo
- 1 part grainy mustard (or more to taste)
- splash of lime juice
- tsp curry powder









Do you like sweet potato fries? What do you dip them in?

I am a HUGE fan of dips and sauces, and condiments in general. I wouldn't want to eat any type of fries without a dip (gravy for regular fries, and many different dips for sweet potato fries).

This looks really, really good! I love SP fries and dip them in organic ketchup and hot sauce! Your dip sounds fantastic and there is nothing better than fresh salmon!

Oh I could die for sweet potato fries!!! Ok maybe not but who doesn't like SPF? I love mine homemade and with some ketchup. Your dip sounds superbe though!
Ah pad thai.. An other weak spot of mine.

That curry mustard mayo dip sounds to die for!! I can't wait to try it. I'm a dip fanatic myself ;-)
I love sweet potatoes but I never make them for myself. This is something I definetly want to try more in the new year.
Thank you for all the wonderful idea's!!!!

that dip looks really good! I might have to copy! I usually bake my sweet potatoe fries in cinnamon and brown sugar so it has a bit of a taste already. I haven't made some in awhile though. :P

One small note on the curried mayo/mustard dip: I usually add a bit of yellow mustard in addition to the grainy mustard. Also, I usually put some grated lime zest in to make it really zingy... Sooo good! p.s. Gotta give props to my Ma - this was actually her concoction.

Leftover pad thai is one of the best things to eat leftover. I love it so much! I definitely love sweet potato fries! Ketchup is what I most commonly dip them in, but I love dippers of all kind also!

That dip looks great! Pad thai is one of my very favorite "treat foods!" It's just so freaking good!

I only like sweet potato fries if theres a really good dip to go with them, so obviously I will have to try that dip out! Looks yummy!

I like sweet potatoe fries exactly like that (with a curry-type mayo dip!!). They are so delicious!!! There's a restaurant that I keep returning to JUST for their fries!!

Dione said...

I eat Bran Buds every morning (usually with Activia yogurt and a banana). Like William Shatner says, "Make fibre your friend!":) I've never had a problem since I've been eating it every day.

haha, now that you say it, it really does look kinda like fish food! eeewww! hee he hee!

I LOVe sweet potato fries, and I actually think the baked ones taste even better than the fried ones. Strange. I love to dip them in a mix of cottage cheese and salsa!
