I never met a piece of tofu that isn't better deep fried.

The started high-stress, taking Edie to the drop in at the pediatrician to have her little cough checked out -- just a little cold, her disposition is fine. Subway wasn't running, and instead of being 15 minutes early, arrived a solid 20 minutes into the 45 minute drop in time zone.

Edie's feeding has increased, and the cough sounds like it needs liquid to soothe, so we've started Edie on straight water. She's taking to it straight away, reminding me of the 3-4 big bottles of water I down every day!

BREAKFAST: 8am, organic cheerios with organic dead milk, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5

LUNCH 1:
10:15am, large turkey & cheese sandwich, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
At Almondine, before hitting up the restaurant. Just hungry, a remnant of my unbalanced day yesterday. This was not just a sandwich to throw back and fill you up, a la Subway. A nice brown hearty crusty bread, a mild but interesting cheese (maybe gouda), moist smokey sliced turkey, a house-made mayo, it all just worked.

LUNCH 2: 12:30, 3 small slices pizza, 2 Manhattan Specials, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

DINNER:
6:30pm, rice-batter fried sprouted tofu cubes, spinach sauteed with chard and shitakes, sofrito rice & beans, butternut squash soup, apple crisp, vanilla ice cream, flourless chocolate cake, 2 glasses wine, water, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Cooked dinner for Ilsa, the mother of this blog, and C & B. Ilsa doesn't eat wheat, C doesn't eat meat, so had to get a little inventive. Just bought the rice flour at the market today and as a goof, did a basic fry batter with it instead of wheat flour -- actually came out surprisingly well, had a certain snap that wheat flour does not. I think I'd go halvsies with wheat next time. Ilsa supplied the apple crisp, which was very different than mine, and paired well with my ice cream.
