A rainy, rainy soaking day in NYC. Ate too well for someone not moving their body. Baked banana bread for the first time in the morning -- extra banana, 1/2 the sugar of the recipe, and replaced white flour with whole wheat flour. Tastes pretty damn good anyway. Then spent the afternoon cooking up macarons, which occurred to me after making that I don't need to eat any, because they are perfect for passover -- no flour in them, just egg, sugar and ground almonds...
BREAKFAST: 9:30am, organic cheerios with organic dead milk, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
LUNCH: 12:30pm. two sardine & avocado sandwiches on wholewheat, 2 pickles, small piece of freshly baked banana bread, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
PM SNACK: 3-6pm, little bits of almond meringue cookie, little bits of chocolate ganache, caramel ganache and vanilla pastry cream
My fried MAP came over and we made macarons together, in three colors and three flavors. They came out better than the first time, but still not bakery-level. A lot of fun, a good way to spend the rainy afternoon while B was out doing girly things in Brooklyn and Edie watched us from her high chair and walker in the doorway.
DINNER: 7pm, homemade wholewheat pizza with onion, mushroom and pepperoni, 1 beer, water, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
MAP stuck around and helped me caramelize the onions properly while I tiled with the rest of the set up. Pretty good. Drank the beer before even thinking about the rules, whoops. Still, far from being an issue.
