    AI helps design eggless meal plan for a week

    Whatever your feelings on artificial intelligence, I believe we need to
    learn how to use it to our advantage – it’s not going away anytime soon. ● With that in mind, I’ve been exploring how to use ChatGPT to make my
    life more convenient and here’s what I’ve learned. I’ve employed it to help me come up with meal ideas and to make my grocery lists based on
    specific recipes and dietary needs. ● Earlier this year, when I found
    the egg cooler at my local grocery store empty amid the issues of bird
    flu and hoarding before a storm, I asked ChatGPT to help me develop a
    one-week, egg-free meal plan with some recipes.

    ● Since artificial intelligence is hardly infallible, especially when it comes to food, I tested the recipes and vetted the list. I developed the
    third recipe for the tahini noodles on my own, without the help of AI.

    This eggless “egg” salad sandwich is made with chickpeas and vegan mayo.

    Lunch: Black bean and quinoa chili with cornbread (recipe for chili
    follows).

    Dinner: Grilled steak with roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach.

    Chickpea salad sandwich

    This is a fresh, light, and protein-packed lunch option. When I made the recipe, I added some extra lemon juice and half a teaspoon of turmeric
    for color, but otherwise, it’s right on.

    Servings: Four For the sandwich

    1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    (or vegan mayo) 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1
    tablespoon olive oil 1 celery stalk, finely chopped

    1 ⁄ 4 cup red onion, finely chopped Salt and pepper, to taste 4 slices whole-grain bread Lettuce or spinach leaves (optional) Sliced tomatoes (optional)

    To make the sandwich: In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork
    or potato masher until mostly mashed but still chunky. Add mayonnaise,
    Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, celery, and red onion. Stir to
    combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toast the whole-grain
    bread slices, if desired.

    Assemble the sandwich by spreading the chickpea salad onto two slices of
    bread.

    Add lettuce and sliced tomatoes if using. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment for a lunch on the go.

    Black bean and quinoa chili

    I added two chopped and deseeded jalapeno peppers and used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth because that’s what I had in the pantry. I
    also added shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream to the chili to serve.

    For the chili:

    1 cup quinoa, rinsed 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed 1
    can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes (with their juices) 1 can (6 ounces)
    tomato paste 1onion, chopped 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 carrot, diced 2
    cloves garlic, minced 2 cups vegetable broth 1 tablespoon chili powder 1teaspoon cumin

    1 ⁄ 2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 ⁄ 4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional,
    for heat) Salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil

    1 ⁄ 2 cup corn kernels (optional) Fresh cilantro or green onions (for garnish)

    To make the chili: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add
    the onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until
    softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until
    fragrant. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika and cayenne
    (if using). Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices. Add the quinoa, black
    beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir
    to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and
    simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the chili
    has thickened. Stir occasionally. If you’re using corn, add it in the
    last 5 minutes of cooking. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve
    hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions.

    Tahini noodle salad with roasted tofu and veggies

    This salad is endlessly adaptable. Want more tartness in your tahini
    dressing?

    Add more lemon juice. Like it extra garlicky? Add more cloves. Want to
    add fresh ginger? That’s fine too. Just taste as you go and adjust to
    your preferences.

    For the tahini dressing:

    1 ⁄ 3 cup tahini 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 garlic clove 1tablespoon honey 2 tablespoons Bragg’s liquid aminos 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, seasoned 1 tablespoon lemon juice Warm
    water to thin Salt to taste as needed

    For the roasted tofu:

    1 ⁄ 2 block of firm tofu, cubed into bite-sized pieces 1 tablespoon
    toasted sesame oil Salt and pepper to taste 1tablespoon sesame seeds

    For the salad:

    10 ounces of dry noodles: Rice, ramen, udon, whatever works.

    Assorted vegetables: Shredded lettuce, shredded purple cabbage, sliced
    green onion, sliced red peppers, carrot matchsticks and peas are all
    great. The more colorful the better.

    Optional toppings: Fresh herbs such as basil or cilantro leaves, toasted
    sesame seeds, furikake seasoning, lime or lemon wedges, shredded nori,
    chili crisp.

    To make the salad: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Boil your noodles
    until just tender, then drain and shock in cold water to chill. Drain
    again and set aside.

    Combine all tahini sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor,
    blending in warm water last to thin as needed. Taste and adjust
    seasonings. The sauce will thicken as it sits, especially if chilled.

    I eat plenty of eggless meals. Several of the suggested meals
    sound pretty good. I'm not interested in chia seeds or quinoa,
    and making ersatz egg salad out of chick peas just sounds stupid.
    I'll stick with oatmeal for breakfast.

    If I want eggs, I'll eat eggs. If I don't want eggs, I'll just
    eat something else.

    *SNIP*

    I may be wrong, but besides tasting better, at least to
    me, eggs just might be cheaper in the long run than the
    extra things to buy to make an eggless breakfast.

    According to a very recent USDA report supplies are adequate. Stores
    have declined to put eggs on sale for fear of driving up demand and
    prices. Egg production has recovered to sustainable levels.

    Seems they bounced back well.  Last week the store was well stocked with every type.  Price is still a bit high.

    That's good old supply and demand. When there is a hint of an
    approaching shortage prices soar. When the shortage actually hits the
    market the prices soar. People rush out to stock up on things before
    they run out and that increases the demand so prices go up some more.
    Then when the supply returns to normal the prices stay high for an
    extended period.

    Yes, even this past Easter weekend when I shopped at
    Kroger the prices had dropped for jumbo eggs about
    50¢ per dozen. Shelves were pretty well stocked, too.

    Price dropped here to normal. Chicken egg farms and meat chickens are
    super common all though our area. The climate makes it a lot easier
    and while they still have to heat the hen houses somewhat, it's not as
    bad as well up north, nor as long of a season.

    Indeed. I think trump must have issued an executive order of some sort
    that fixed this problem. It will probably be a few days before we learn
    how he solved the problem for us. I'm sure the virus didn't just
    magically go away. Had to be a superhero involved!

    Or maybe someone forced the dead chickens to start laying again?

    It depends where you live. Residents of New York City often
    see empty egg shelves. Here in the middle of the country,
    the shelves are always stocked, but my grocery store has a
    "limit two" (dozen) sign.

    They're still a lot more expensive than they were prior to the
    start of this bird flu outbreak.

    I thought trump had already fixed the problem? Maybe it will take a few
    days to filter down to the belligerent blue states. Maybe he can have
    elon expedite the new executive egg orders.

    THE DONALD is making the White House real, REAL classy, Sire Hank...!!!


    Trump’s making a big change to the White House grounds — and says he’ll pay for it himself

    https://nypost.com/2025/04/23/us-news/trump-announces-self-funded-change-to-white-house/

    "President Trump unveiled his latest plans to shake up the White House
    grounds on Wednesday — announcing he will pay for two large flagpoles...

    The president came out of the residence in the morning to survey the
    grounds on the north side and was spotted with groundskeepers, who were spreading their arms, showing just how large the flags were going to
    be...

    “We’re putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall American flag on
    this side and another one on the other side, two flags, top of the
    line,” he later told reporters outside the White House...

    Trump has also floated building a ballroom in the White House, just like
    he has at Mar-a-Lago...

    Beyond that, Trump has transformed the Oval Office to include more
    portraits of past presidents, and has lined the walls with gold,
    reminiscent of his Mar-a-Lago grand estate...

    The molding on the walls, the picture frames, the doors and several
    statues are all adorned in gold..."

    Yep, he sure goes all in for gaudy shit. I guess it helps compensate for
    his feelings of inadequacy.

    What is "normal"? I still consider $4.49/dozen to be high.

    Chicken egg farms and meat chickens are
    super common all though our area. The climate makes it a lot easier
    and while they still have to heat the hen houses somewhat, it's not as
    bad as well up north, nor as long of a season.

    We have local egg farms, too.

    How about restaurant breakfast prices increases attributed to the eggs?
    I imagine they will be staying higher long after the egg prices return
    to normal. Of course, there is always the chance they won't. Having
    industrial size flocks coming down with bird flu means larger numbers
    of birds slaughtered to prevent the spread.

    Prices are dropping little by little here, but far from
    normal.  I live at 36° N.

    How about restaurant breakfast prices increases attributed to the eggs?
    I imagine they will be staying higher long after the egg prices return
    to normal. Of course, there is always the chance they won't. Having industrial size flocks coming down with bird flu means larger numbers
    of birds slaughtered to prevent the spread.


    Last time I ate breakfast at a restaurant was a few weeks
    before the big outbreak. Honestly, I don't know if they
    had increased their price for an egg breakfast or not.

    Unlikely they'll go down in the current economic chaos that King Donald

    I was going by news reports. Curiously, when I Googled it a minute ago restaurants in Niagara Falls ON Denny's had increased their prices even
    though there was no real shortage of eggs here.

    Not eggs, but other things. The cost of a restaurant meal isn't
    just the ingredients.

    He didn't say prices went up because of Trump but that they may not go

    Dammit, I'm pretty sure bird flu was due to the efforts of Biden, and
    maybe that evil negro bastard Obama before him.

    People shouldn't get excited. Trump will have this bird flu virus
    eradicated very soon.

    Homeland security will round all the virii up and deport them forthwith,
    now that donnie knows about this problem.

    Later on, he will annex whatever country the damn virus came from, and
    he'll build a new Shangri-la trump golf resort in it, just like the new
    riviera in gaza. Elon will manage it for donnie, and build a new tesla dealership, and a spacex launch pad for the convenience of the locals.

    It will be so nice, and the folks living there won't mind being
    relocated to africa or other shit holes, once they see the grand resort
    plans.

    And there won't be any tariffs on the folks who were sent to africa. A
    pretty good deal, I'd say.

    OTOH gas prices are DOWN - THANK you, PRESIDENT Trump...!!!

    https://gasprices.aaa.com/unseasonal-slide-gas-prices-continue-to-fall/

    Unseasonal Slide: Gas Prices Continue to Fall

    April 17,2025

    "WASHINGTON, DC (April 17, 2025) – As spring break travel winds down,
    gas prices are following suit, down five cents since last week. Softer
    demand is fueling this downward trend, and with crude as low as it’s
    been in a few years, drivers may continue to see lower pump prices as
    summer approaches.,,

    Today’s National Average: $3.167
    One Week Ago: $3.222
    One Month Ago: $3.078
    One Year Ago: $3.660

    The nation’s top 10 least expensive gasoline markets are Mississippi
    ($2.70), Tennessee ($2.70), Texas ($2.73), Oklahoma ($2.73), South
    Carolina ($2.74), Louisiana ($2.76), Kentucky ($2.78), Alabama ($2.78), Arkansas ($2.79), and Kansas ($2.84)..."

    I googled. Today's average for Nevada is $3.88. The county where I live

    The population centers suck gas from California, and their idiot
    policies affect us. Gas is way cheaper in Eastern Nevada where they
    aren't affected by California's "Save the Earth" ingredients and local
    scam taxes.
    The point is, I can't remember the last time I paid less than three
    bucks a gallon. I "do" remember when gas was nineteen cents per gallon
    during local gas wars. Helluva deal!

    we don't eat eggs very often other than in baked items.

    Couple of weeks ago I paid $2.78. Today, $3.05
    Florida State gas tax is .373. Nevada is .23 Federal gas tax .184

    Last time I paid .199 was about 1962. Early 70s was about .35 then the shortages kicked it up.

    When we were in LV a decade ago, I had great anticipation about how
    cheap gas was going to be. What a disappointment the reality was.
    Currently, gas here is $4.529/gal. I guess we got there 10 years too
    early. The good news is that we don't really buy much gas on this rock.

    Da Hawaiians love Las Vegas. Part of it is cheap food and cheap
    entertainment. Hawaiians love to gamble. They probably got that from the Japanese, Chinese, and Filipinos. It's common for people to go 4 times a
    year. A lot of local people are moving there because housing prices are
    so low.

    That's probably the reason most of the younger families are moving
    there. For old people, the heat is kind of hard to take. My older
    brother brought my dad's condo in Vegas, he's going to give it a try.

    quite apart from avian flu, commercial egg/chicken
    producers like any other agri business are affected by
    all rising costs due to tariffs and retaliatory trade
    wars.

    Tariffs, trade wars, Trump's failures to grasp or

    affect every part of US food production.

    While US chicken farms have to pay more for chickenfeed,
    chicken medication, biosecurity, machine parts, fuel,
    labour, those cost increases must stay on the price of
    eggs in shops. Or, the producers will go bust.

    i'd consider it hummus.

    Hummus must have chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and lemon. Otherwise
    it's just bean dip.

    I'll stick with oatmeal for breakfast.

    i have oats to finish eating up so i've been having them
    for breakfast (usually with some peanut butter and brown
    sugar) but it usually more brunch than breakfast.


    If I want eggs, I'll eat eggs. If I don't want eggs, I'll just
    eat something else.

    we don't eat eggs very often other than in baked items.
    maybe once a month or so we'll have egg or tuna salad (with
    eggs in it). i do like a hard or soft boiled egg from
    time to time - that's never been very regular.

    I had scrambled eggs for dinner a couple of days ago. A couple
    of weeks ago I hard-boiled some eggs; two were made into egg salad
    and the other two were sliced on top of a main-dish salad.

    In the winter, my husband eats eggs every morning for breakfast.
    Now that strawberries are plentiful and inexpensive, he has
    Grape Nuts with strawberries most mornings.

    2.94 in Viginia Beach per google. AAA lists the state as 2.99. We
    don't have super high added taxes (City and state) so seem a bit
    cheaper by a few cents on average. Grocery store affiliated gas back

    Unleaded gas here was $2.79⁹ to $2.89⁹ per gallon, depending
    on which station you visited. Mid-grade unleaded is $3.19⁹
    while high test is $3.54⁹.

    when I fill up next week.

    That's a damn shame. I thought by now, trump would have gas prices down
    to 10 cents per gallon, at least in red states.

    Maybe he deported all the people working for the oil companies. But not
    to worry; Musk will fix that real soon.

    as "The Blow Job Room"...???

    According to Bill Maher, who visited the WH last month, it's where THE
    DONALD stores his gift stash of MAGA hats and such...

    Didn't Bill Clinton "coin" that phrase, Mike...???

    No. Please augment my knowledge with a link supporting that.

    Wasn't it something along the lines of
    "I did NOT have sex with that woman"...???

    That is semantically unrelated to my original sentiment.
    Please put down your sacramental wine-box and re-read.

    Non-consensual sexual assault is one thing; accepting marital
    fidelity to promote one's own political ambitions is another.


    Do you believe in the concept of a " moral hegemon "...???
