The other half of the chicken quesadilla and chips and queso I bought for lunch yesterday.

Onion bhaji with tamarind dipping sauce. Fake Messiah’s fault - his ‘eat free for a year’ thread triggered me.

Boru

I grabbed tamarind concentrate when I was at Sun World Market last week. The only thing I use it in is Pad Thai, so I probably should have skipped it.

In an effort to gain and then maintain some weight, I bought some high calorie Boost drinks I have had before. They are okay.

Also bought some protein bars that are supposedly chocolate and peanut butter. They taste like sawdust with a bit of a peanut butter aftertaste with a low quality chocolate coating. Not horrible, but I will have to look at these like medicine that I have to take once a day. BLAH

Need to find some other high calorie things to eat regularly.

New York strips, baked spud, sauteed onion/pepper/mushroom.

Bacon and sausage?

Or try one of these

I eat both more often than my cardiologist would like.  And now I would have to sell a kidney to be able to afford the eggs to go with them.

Not exactly high calorie, but if you're looking for protein, you can get a two-pound tub of protein powder for $20 at Aldi's and Walmart. At one protein smoothie a day, it lasts about a month. A cup of milk (I use almond milk), a scoop of powder, and frozen fruit or ice and mix in a blender. If you use ice, you'll probably want to use some kind of flavoring. I use chocolate, caramel, and strawberry syrup, or those Italian syrups they sell to put in your coffee, but that's on top of fruit.

I have a supply of mango syrup that I sometimes put in my tea.  I actually looked at protein powder but wasn't sure what else to do.  Thanks!
