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?

STIR FRIED TOFU -LECINQBLOG'S AFTERNOON SNACKS SERIES

STIR FRIED TOFU -LECINQBLOG'S AFTERNOON SNACKS SERIES
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.I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.
This can actually qualify not just for an afternoon snack but also as a side during lunch or even breakfast.I have eaten this at all different times.
Tofu tastes great when cooked right.Given that it is a relatively NEWER ingredient to the non-mongoloid-ASIAN palate,so many people DON'T KNOW how to cook with it and thus end up cooking it so badly that it tastes bland and foul.
It is like GIVING MEAT TO A LIFELONG VEGETARIAN and expecting them to know how to cook it.I FOR ONE, have never EATEN meat or fish In my whole lifetime of 33 years,ever.So, I am sure that if someone gave me a piece of meat and asked me to cook it, I WON'T COOK IT RIGHT.Atleast the first time around.
btw,TOFU was a new ingredient to me too when I first went vegan.But after cooking it a couple of times, I finally got my groove.
What you see in the above picture is SIMPLE stir fried tofu with peppers and onions.Use any kind of larger peppers you like.Smaller peppers will be hotter and thus can't be used in large quanities.Also, I lightly floured and black peppered the tofu cubes before stir frying,makes them crunchy(oops, I gave out my recipe tricks)
Very filling, very calcium and protein rich and very tasty to boot..TRY IT.

BAGELS AND SCRAMBLED EGGS-LECINQBLOG'S BREAKFAST SERIES

BAGELS AND SCRAMBLED EGGS-LECINQBLOG'S BREAKFAST SERIES
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.I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.
As all of you by now know, I went vegan only in 2008.So,prior to 2008, my breakfasts included eggs for most part.This above picture is from 2007.
BAGELS are my favorite baked goods-dense,chewy and they come in all flavors too.
Featured in the picture are pieces of poppy onion bagels and jalapeno scrambled eggs.
Also in the picture is a cup of SOY latte.Yes, I was drinking soy latte even before I WENT VEGAN,coz, soy latte smelled more edible than cow's milk which smelled more like body fluids(which btw it is,YEAH?)
Most people on TV always give you tips on how NOT to make your scrambled eggs rubbery and how to keep them soft and gooey...
For me, I LIKE MY SCRAMBLED EGGS-moderately DRY AND RUBBERY to a certain extent.NOT TOO CARDBOARD dry, but definitely not gooey.
If you see the picture, you can get an idea of HOW EXACTLY I LIKED MY SCRAMBLED EGGS.
I would first set up my breakfast plate and coffee and then would sit there eating it happily and slowly.
Breakfast times=peaceful alone time, introspection time!

SWEET CORN AND SPINACH QUESADILLAS-LECINQBLOG'S AFTERNOON SNACK SERIES

SWEET CORN AND SPINACH QUESADILLAS-LECINQBLOG'S AFTERNOON SNACK SERIES
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.I seek to dispel FOOD FADS, food myths via this food blog.I seek also to increase health awareness by canvassing for healthier diets.
By now, the 'AFTERNOON SNACK SERIES' has become synonymous with lecinqblog..I love me my AFTERNOON SNACKS..
on some days, it is a quick fix snack..on some days it is fruit laden..and on some other RAVENEOUS DAYS, it gets elaborate..much like this SWEET CORN AND SPINACH QUESADILLAS
This is a picture way back from 2007, the year where I HAD MY AFTERNOONS FREE AND ALL TO MYSELF.
I USED PREMADE FLOUR TORTILLAS...(the ones made without any lard)
I parboiled the spinach.
Assembling this is PRETTY EASY AND FAST AND takes a total of 12 minutes or less.
Arrange all ingredients with any cheese of choice, put another tortilla on top and heat up on a pan/oven/microwave...
cute into triangles and eat .
VERY FILLING..ALMOST LIKE A SECOND LUNCH.
