WHAT MAKES ME AN "INFORMED" FOOD BLOGGER

I am CURRENTLY a PRACTICING PHYSICIAN .

However, I did complete TWO YEARS of college studying GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY AND MICROBIOLOGY, Food technology,Food Microbiology and Biochemistry prior to deciding that I am more inclined to the CLINICAL SIDE of things and hence decided to get into MEDICAL SCIENCE .

I did very well in medical school thereafter and am now a "kick-ass" doctor .

My interest in "Food" and the "Science of cooking" continues to this day and explains why I now have a Food blog as part of my LECINQBLOG family of Blogs

I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.

Good chef meets GOOD DOCTOR meets good writer=Informative food blog, no?

My breakfast patterns from 2006-How I gave up eggs and milk one day

whoa , I cannot believe it is 2009. three years down the drain? Shall we call them that? Or three years of soul searching and self discovery.
Well, I am just gonna be happy and all positive and call them, THOSE THREE YEARS OF PERSONAL GROWTH AMONGST RELATIVE SELF IMPOSED SOLITUDE.
So yeah, I remember my breakfasts from 2006. I used to more patient, I used to take time to set my plates neatly on the table one by one after fixing them and then finally , I would make my cup of coffee and then lay this whole beautiful set up near the window of the balcony and then finally take a picture with the rising sun and then slowly proceed to eat them one after another.
I became vegan in the past six months. I was ovolacto vegetarian prior to that. For one, till i gave up eggs and milk, I was super addicted to both eggs and milk and cheese . To such an extent that though In my head I had been wanting to become vegan since the age of 14, I just could not fathom not eating eggs and being happy. I was afraid that If i stopped eating cheese, I would die or be miserable for the rest of my life. So for most part, I kinda felt like a hypocrite eating up tons of cheese and then talking about how animals are not part of our natural diet and such. One night suddenly I realized that the only way to gain respect in my own eyes would be to actually just give up eggs and that is that. I gave up eggs that night. I took my last eggs(there were three and i made a midnight snack with those three eggs and ate them up telling that they would be my last eggs. I ate them and rinsed my mouth( I don't remember if i did rinse ) and then with a nodding conviction went to sleep. I haven't eggs since then. Ya know what, it doesn't matter . coz , eggs do not belong to us. The wild hens would peck you if you attempted stealign their eggs in the wild. So yes, keeping a poor hen in a cage and not allowing it enough room even to turn around and then stupidly stealing those eggs and eating them up, not something we must be proud of. I haven't eaten eggs in six months, and I am very proud, I have more respect for myself than ever before. I haven't eaten cheese in six months or more, and surprise, surprise, I haven't died.
anways, My breakfasts in 2006 invariably used to contain eggs. each day one type of egg preparation. I also used to add up toasted bread with jelly or jam and butter and a small serving fo sliced fruit with each egg serving each morning. And a good latte to go with it all.
The pictures all llok cool, scarmbled eggs, bull's eye fried egg, frittatta, this and that, scones with eggs, cake with eggs and fruits. It was all great.
fastforward to 2009, my breakfasts contain nice bean tortillas, millet panckaes, corn bread, fruit , toast and jelly, vegan scones, raisin bun, vegan cinnamon bun, vegan bagels and what not. Infact, after I gave up egg, the variety of my breakfast has multiplied.
So yeah, Now I have this urge to go and look at all those breakfast pictures. Maybe I will go look right now.
