Happy Day

Happy day with my baby! After her nap, we hauled off to Wholefoods on a new bus route that goes straight there (I'm lucky that I'm in one of the few neighborhoods that actually gained a route from the recent MTA cuts.)

Er came over and I made a nice lunch, depending more on skill confidence than a recipe -- and it came out pretty good, which was particularly satisfying.

What is NOT satisfying is the babka I bought to serve to Er was pretty much uncontrollably devoured by my wife in the evening. Are these the habits we're going to demonstrate to Edie? Not eat enough during the day to satisfy our energy needs then gorge on crappy quality calories in the evening? Boooo!

BREAKFAST: 8am, iced green tea, whole grain cheerios with organic dead milk, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

LUNCH: 2:15pm, 2 crab cake sandwiches, stirfried sugarsnap peas, chocolate babka, 1 beer, water, 1.75 bowl, hunger 4/5
I don't know if I ever did a crabcake in c-school, but the idea and method is pretty straightforward. 8oz of good jumbo lump crab, 4 eggs, a bunch of wholewheat panko crumbs, a dollop of mayo, a handful of minced onion and celery, mustard powder, Old Bay seasoning and a few drops of tabasco. Mixed up, set in the fridge for about 30 minutes to come together, pan fried in peanut oil. Really tasty, and have ideas how it can be better next time.

PM SNACK: 6pm, "small" cherry icee, 1.5 bowl, hunger 3/5
At the movies with E&D, got a small drink, ended up being about a quart. During the previews there was an ad for a new show called "Huge" about fat people at a fat camp. Too many movie theater snacks, no doubt.
