food diary: 15 - 21 sept

This past week was all about experimenting with pumpkins, sashimi and creating new sauces, salad dressings and dips. The homemade guacamole was superb. The raw kingfish and salmon creations left me craving for more. And there's plenty room for improvement for the pumpkin soup. I have also realised that I can't do without coffee for even a day. So much for cutting down on my caffeine intake by reducing consumption to only one cuppa every other day, it's impossible. I can't function normally without it. So I now mostly opt for a mocha than an expresso or cappuccino. Not that it makes a lot of difference. Caffeine is caffeine is caffeine. And mocha doesn't stain my teeth any less than latte or long or short blacks. Bah.
