Run Eat Repeat

Practice Safe Eating

Lunch

FacebookTweetPin
8 Feb

After my morning meeting I took a detour to Coffee Bean for some iced coffee goodness. It was mostly because I had to pee and hate going places and not buying anything. This keeps me in the poor house since I drink a gallon of water a day. IMG_8153

I used last night’s Seitan stir fry leftovers for lunch. I started with a bed of cabbage and tomatoes and then topped it with the hot stir fry.

But, after the picture I took the liberty of adding condiments: soy sauce, Sriacha, peanuts (okay that’s not a condiment, but still).

This made me realize how obsessed I am with condiments! My cupboard is overflowing with them.  I always practice safe eating and use condiments. I can’t even pick a favorite…

Use condiments

Fun fact: When I went to Europe a friend brought packets of Tapatio because he figured they wouldn’t have any and he had to eat it with his food!

I thought that was weird, but now I take packets of PB with me everywhere!

      Oh my, I probably have dozens and dozens of containers of condiments, and you bet your ass when I just went to New Orleans I brought everything from PB packets to stevia packets to a tupperware of homemade vegan parmesan with me everywhere I went 🙂

      I keep all of my condiments in the fridge although I wish I wasn’t so weird about them , It would sure save me a lot of space in the fridge.

      I use that same ketchup all the time! I also just discovered bragg’s liquid amino’s and am quickly becoming obsessed.

      I’m slightly obsessed with condiments as well. Okay, I’m more than slightly obsessed, I would consider it more like an addiction.

      PS- You don’t refrigerate ketchup? Is that allowed??

      I’m obsessed with condiments. My boyfriend actually nags me about how many salad dressing bottles are in our fridge and pantry. I don’t see that as a problem but apparently he’s doing an intervention. 😛

      I put things on the refrigerator so they keep longer, fresher, and don’t go bad. If you prefer warm condiments, I would pour some out on the side if you know you are going to use them and let them get to room temperature. Not refrigerating them at all irks me just a little.

        I’ve kept them out of the fridge for years and haven’t died yet, so I’m gonna continue to live on the edge 🙂

      I just love your blog 🙂

      I have a confession: I take tapatio packets with me EVERYWHERE i go. At first my fiance was really confused but now he just goes along with it, he has no choice, I either take the packets or I bring the bottle with me 🙂 okay another confession, before I got packets I used to carry a bottle in my car! I hate going anywhere without tapatio, it goes on anything 🙂

      Is there a reason why you don’t refrigerate some of those condiments? After opening several of those items (soy sauce, ketchup, buffalo sauce, syrup) we always refrigerate. I think it says to on the label but I wasn’t sure if you found that these items stay fresher longer storing in a different way.

        Yes, there is a reason I don’t refrigerate those condiments… I hate when they are cold! I like my hot food HOT, so putting cold ketchup on hot food makes it cold too fast. I get mad when someone puts those condiments in the fridge. Even if a package says to put it in, I don’t (except for things like mayo). Same with PB.

            Me! Every single condiment (including nut butters) goes directly in my fridge. I love them cold and I love how much longer they last. Plus, I do condiments on the side (I’m super picky about my condiment/food dipping ratio, lol) so I don’t have any problems with the other food getting cold.

              I have also taken to putting condiments in the freezer before dinner if I haven’t realized we are out in the fridge and we only have warm ones in the cupboard. I am veeeeeery lucky I tricked my husband into marrying me 😉

            You know people who refrigerate SYRUP?! Thats weird!…doesnt it get hard? My husbands family doesn’t refrigerate BBQ sauce or Parmesan Cheese and that is unfathomable to me!

      That is an awesome condiment drawer! I barely have any. Mustard and Ketchup-that’s about it. I don’t even have soy sauce right now. Sad, I know.

      I don’t normally keep packets of PB around, but I’ve used them while traveling and it was life changing. Especially because I bought a jar of PB once, tried to bring it on the flight home, and it was confiscated. DEVASTATED.

      Packets of nut butters are essential. I don’t even know what tapatio is. [condiment fail.]
