Snapple is for suckaz


Not enough sleep last night. I did sleep 3 hours or so in the car coming down from Albany, but got home from the restaurant around 11, all amped up, didn't get to bed til 1:30. Up at 6:30. After my habitual pound cake at class, got jumped in the library by an impromptu ice-cream bar of extras that would of gone in the garbage if I didn't help eat it up.

At home doing chores, chopped up a big healthy chunky veg salad for the next few days. Took the quart of the excellent rich chicken stock I made a week or so out of the freezer and heated it up in a pot. In a pan, I quickly sauteed thin sliced carrot, shitakes, cubed chicken boobie and a little garlic, deglazed with mirin, and dumped it in the stock with thin sliced scallion and let the heat of the stock finish cooking the chicken meat and soften the scallion. Seasoned with salt, this is easily the best chicken soup I've had in memory.

BREAKFAST: 6:45am, organic chex with good milk, .5 bowl, hunger 3/5

AM SNACK: 9:30am, cart pound cake, .5 bowl hunger 4/5

AM SNACK: 10:45am, selection of ice cream flavors, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
A culinary class put out about 12 ice creams in the library for all comers, I had to taste a few. A dark chocolate, a white chocolate mouse, a lame maple that was more vanilla, cinnamon, yum! The problem of hanging out at a c-school.

LUNCH: 2:45pm, momma style salad, homemade chicken soup, quart of water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 6:15pm, hunk of halava, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5

DINNER: 6:30pm, pint of pork fried rice, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
On the way to meet the HVS to take a trip out to the airport, NOT a haven for vegan-friendly food, or any good food, for that matter. So took matters into my own hands

EVENING SNACK: 8:30pm, 2/3 of a bottle of Tazo iced green tea with spearmint and lemongrass, .5 bowl, hunger 3/5
It's organic, the bottle has less sugar than pop, it's cane sugar, blah blah blah. Bottom line, it tastes like over sweetened tea that someone spit a chewed up wad of mint gum into. Kind of like where a stranger's saliva meets toothpaste. Deeeesgusting. Why do people drink sweetened bottled flavored teas? Snapple is for suckaz.
