Seriously, I can't lose any more weight. Whenever my Dr. tells me I've lost a bit of weight, my eating habits turn to crap. This time, it's beer and Twinkies in the morning after shopping. I need halp! But, it's just not any ordinary Twinkies. It's Minions Twinkies. Stuart, Bob and Kevin are seen here laying on my Minions Blanky. I always said how Minions look like walking, talking, overalls wearing Twinkies.

That dinner is not all vegetables. Corn is a starch, not a veggie.

Pot roast from the new slow cooker. My third time using it, my second pot roast attempt.
I thought I had read somewhere that London broil made a good pot roast. That is what I used, with a packet of Mccormick's Slow Cookers Savory Pot Roast Seasoning.
I also added a whole container (8 oz. ?) of sliced mushrooms.
I am new to slow cooking, and while this tasted really good, the meat was pretty dry. I think it must have been because it was London broil, and had no fat. Oh well, the mushrooms were awesome!
I'll bet Mushroom Ketchup would have made it better.

From a culinary standpoint corn in this form is a vegetable.
If corn isn't a vegetable then technically she made a fruit and grain plate. There are no botanical vegetables on that plate.
EDIT: Unless you want to count the onions, which are being used as an aromatic.

Had cinnamon oatmeal for breakfast, and some Bagel Bites as a quick snack.

Was it covered in liquid? Generally, whatever sticks out at the top is pretty dry.

Just curious, what do you mean by "culinary standpoint".

When it comes to fruits, vegetables, and grains there are three different ways to view them; culinary (how you cook them), botanical (what class they scientifically fall into), and glycemic or nutritional (how your body processes them).
Beans, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, pears, grapes, oranges anything where we eat the flesh that is around the seeds are all fruits botanically. However, you do not prepare a green bean and an orange in the same way. They taste different (savory/bitter vs. sweet), have different textures, and react to certain cooking methods differently. They are also treated differently by your body during digestion. An orange will raise your blood sugar much higher, while the beans will provide more fiber and an entirely different set of nutritional components.
In cooking you treat corn as both a grain and a vegetable. When prepared from raw and whole (such as on the cob or from a can), corn is prepared as a you would a vegetable. We sauté it, grill it, fry it, bake it, boil it, etc. These are things you would not do with raw whole wheat or most other grains. In order to cook with corn the way you would a grain you must dry it and grind it first, just as we do with most forms of grains. Of the few grains that we can straight boil, none of them maintain their form as corn does.
Another way to determine the culinary designation of a plant is to see where you buy it in the grocery. Corn is sold with the produce (fruit and vegetables) when raw, or in the vegetables when whole and in a can. Canned fruit are in a different area. You will not find whole corn in the bread, flour, etc. sections. You will find corn flour, corn meal, and so forth, but none of that can be prepared the way you can a vegetable.

The meat was almost completely covered with liquid when I started it. Then I dumped a bunch of mushrooms on top, By the time it was ready there was more than enough liquid.
I think London broil is just too lean to make a juicy pot roast.

Ding ding. London broil is supposed to be broiled or grilled before being sliced thin and eaten on sandwiches or tacos or something. It's completely the opposite cut of meat for slow cooking.
