Hope you're all doing well. I'm sharing my Day 9 of The Food Diary Game, Season 10, from the #SteemFoods community, led by @steemitfoods and @alikoc07.

In the end, the plate is always full. But better than an empty plate.

I had my first coffee after 7 a.m., and picked some mangoes for an early breakfast.

A couple of hours later, I opened a package of chorizos La Montserratina to eat them with arepas.

Besides chorizo, I fried slices of plantain in the same frying pan.

Once the plantain was ready, I removed it to a plate and put some cheese in its place to cook a little.

Then I served everything. I always eat one arepa; my husband eats two.

My next meal was in the evening. I prepared smoked chops, rice, salad, and fried slices of plantain.

Today I pleased my husband. He wanted to eat smoked chops and rice, and I know he likes his rice with vegetables, so I chopped some sweet chilli and onion, and I also added some sweet corn.

The salad was not strictly a salad but a lettuce, a unique kind.

I used a small heart of Romaine lettuce and no other lettuce or any other vegetable but the garlic in the dressing. I washed the leaves well, broke them into bites with my hands and added yogurt and homemade garlic mayonnaise for dressing. We love it this way.

We ate in the living room, while watching Pasapalabra.

Below you can see my plate.

We had the last piece of custard for dessert.

Before going to bed, I made a brownie for a friend. Yes. One has friends, friends who love brownie, and one makes brownie for dear friends even if one is sleepy and has not yet uploaded today's Food Diary entry. The plate is full. But...better a full plate than an empty one, with no friends and no brownies.

This brownie had chocolate pieces instead of walnuts.

As usual, I used:

• 275 gr all purpose flour
• 100 gr cocoa powder
• 400 gr sugar
• 1 cup corn oil
• 1 cup eggs
• 5 teaspoons vanilla essence
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Basically, you make two mixtures and then mix them together into a batter:

• Mix flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl
• In a separate bowl, mix sugar and oil; add the eggs, and the vanilla essence
• Join the two mixtures.

You don't need to beat it much. Then pour the batter into a greased baking tray and bake it for 15-25 minutes, depending on how chewy you want it. I used a 18'' tray.

I came to upload my entry as it is in the oven.

These were the highlights of my food-day.
I hope you have delicious and healthy meals today in good company :)
