What does OB food mean?

I cant say what it might have meant in the context in which you saw it,
having no idea what that was, but "OB" is sometimes coupled with "/GYN"
and perhaps denotes something pre or pari natal as it relates to food
and/or diet & pregnancy?

It got started long ago, when OT posts started proliferating. You
will see a lot of RFC oldtimers using this, if they are posting
off-topic. Just to keep things in the spirit of having something
food related in a post. ;) And sometimes, it leads in a whole 'nother
direction, in which food again takes center stage in posting.

And I will do it now:

OB food: Just got cancelled at work due to low census.. Our babies
are getting well, and we don't have many sick ones in the NICU right
now. So, I am might actually cook tonight! For some reason, I have
had a craving for something like pasta putanessca lately... I have
all the ingredients and I think that will be a good dinner. Plus, I
have some summer squash that is needing to be used: I have had in mind
for some time, to make the zucchini and feta fritters that are from
Michael Symon's book. They have mint and dill in them, if I
remember: I don't have the book in front of me at the moment.

We had pasta tonight and it was just sort of bleh. It was a new kind of
rice penne imported from Italy. Pretty flavorless. I used a small amount
of ground beef that I got from Winco. Don't think I'll be buying their beef
again. On the plus side there was Amy's sauce which we love and a good
Parmesano Reggiano from Costco. But bottom line it was sort of like eating
mush. The pasta just didn't hold up like the Tinkyada I usually buy. I'd
try to pick it up with my fork and it would break into bits. Luckily I only
bought the one box. I won't buy it again. And no, it wasn't overcooked. I
did try a bite. Wasn't cooked enough so I cooked it for about another
minute and daughter said she couldn't tell if it was done or not. To me
that means al dente. She's just like that. Anyway... Such is the nature
of some rice pasta. They just don't hold up.

Going to buy some veggies and dressing today for a pasta salad later this
week. Will try hard to make a small amount of it. That's hard for me to do
by the time I add a little of this and a little of that. But I have part of
a red and an orange pepper. Will try to find a small green one and a single
stalk of celery. I use a Tri-Colore corn and quinoa pasta for that. It
holds up really well when cold and it contains protein.

Are you being purposely obtuse? This group is about food and the
pleasure derived from it. People with diabetes and allergies have
special food needs . How to meet their needs while getting pleasure
from the result is certainly within the group's scope.

It's a tradition on UseNet so old RFC did not yet exist. I've done "Ob

Ob food - Really good pork chops last night. With pilaf and a simple
tossed salad.

I used to think that maybe the German or Latin meaning of "ob'"
applied, but could never make sense of it.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.
