I'm watching a lot of Top Shot at present and working up to a longer post on the show and on weapons in general, both in and out of fannish context. But this is not that day, so here's a quickie post for Day 2 of 30.

I'm still finding my way through the whole diabetic eating minefield, since it's vastly complicated by the profound inertia (not to mention inconsistency and unpredictability on the spoon front) that come with chronic depression.

One of my favorite things to do is put a bit of simple seasoning on three or four chicken breasts (with bone and skin; they come out so much better that way) and throw them in the oven. Minimal prep, mostly low-effort all the way around, and I end up with several meals' worth of one of my favorite proteins.

But the easiest thing to do is make a sandwich or a wrap (really basic, chicken and mayo and that's about it), and that gets very boring.

It's summer veggie season; there are two nearby farmer's markets every week. Give me some ideas? What can I bring home and make with modest-to-moderate effort in one big batch that will last for maybe three to five meals? Needs to be relatively low carb, so no pasta, no white potatoes (sweet potatoes are fine), no white rice. Small amounts of brown rice or other whole grains are fine, as are moderate amounts of cooked dried beans (I'm especially fond of cannellini and black beans). I dislike mushrooms. Cooked onions are great; raw onions don't agree with me. Everything else is pretty much good. Could be combined with the chicken, or served separately alongside it.
