Pizza for breakfast, Steak for lunch, and Cheesecake and Cookies for dinner

OK, not the healthiest eating day but turned a corner by the end. Played catch up on some work stuff and enjoyed the day with my smiley, pregnant wife.

BREAKFAST: 8:45am, digiorno pizza, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
This has been in my freezer for a while, and with nothing else in the house, gave it a shot for breakfast. Weirdest thing is that despite it literally rising like freshbaked bread in the oven, it STILL tasted oddly stale. That is, well, amazing! It looked inflated and thick, like a weird discus of pizza matter, and the thick pad of cheese on top had no flavor. The sauce was bright and acidity, kind of a cartoon version of what pizza sauce should taste like. Left over a lot of cheese, it was just kinda silly.

AM SNACK: 1:30am, 2 donuts, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Just in the mood for these. Walking down Grand Street past the Donut Plant, short line of people, got a meyer lemon and a triple chocolate, both as fresh and moist as can be.

LUNCH: 12:30pm, steak frites in a red wine pan sauce, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Just craving meat. The hanger steak was a bit chewy, but still good, though the an sauce really needed some butter and a shot of acid to really make it sing. Sucks when you have a meal in a restaurant, and you KNOW you could make it better at home. Not because you have superior skills, but the patience to focus on the dish and access to superior ingredients.

PM SNACK: 5pm, 1 freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, .25 bowl, hunger 3/5
Baked them to go with some ice cream I picked up, an after dinner treat.

DINNER: 7:30pm, large green salad with olive oil and vinegar, stirfried shrimp, 2 cookies and cheese cake ice cream, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Now THIS is what I was craving! The first dad-style salad of the year (a.k.a.Noah salad, or what my mom would call blenderized salad), where labor is put into cutting all the veg finely into small to medium dice, so every bite is similar and the flavors blend into a more complicated 'salad flavor'. Simply dressed with fresh veg, just wonderful. Stir fried some fresh shrimp in garlic and ginger peanut oil, sake reduction, finish with soy sauce, Worcester sauce and a drop of hot sauce.Pulled them off early and let them finish cooking on the residual heat, pretty damn good, thank you c-school.

Bought over the counter cheese cake ice cream, good idea but kinda disappointing -- it had ice crystals in it, probably softened and refroze at some point. Next ice cream I make will have cream cheese in it.
