Felt bleah, felt the urg for heavy carb-loaded food all day. Me and the gals went up to Sleepy Hollow to visit a friend and her family, good time visiting Washington Irving's grave on Halloween weekend, perfect weather, good company, wonderful train ride. I stayed in while B went out to party with some other moms, and after getting Edie to bed quite smoothly by 8, I found myself passing out in front of the TV by 8:30! I'm an oldie!

T's Terroir of Terror
Woke up early, made pumpkin-gingersnap mini cheesecake cupcakes and fed Edles her breakfast.From there, we hopped on the bike, did a chore in Soho, pedalled up to Chelsea Market to visit our friend MAP, then home for nap. After lunch, we took a walk in the neighborhood, ending at the park. Edie chose to bring her monkey doll, which was horrendously cute, and for the first time she discovered squirrels, where she would point, squeal with delight then run after them.
In the evening, Yomomma came over and I took off to T's Penitentiary of Punishment. Not quite as bad as last week, but definitely underlines how badly I need strength training right now. We had a wonderful snickle at Dojo, and unfortunately she carpetbagged me into a no-sweets challenge next week. Oy. Well, I know sugar has been kicking my ass recently, so it makes sense.
AM SNACK: 7:30am, iced green tea
AM SNACK: 8:15am, dark chocolate
Didn't intend to, but I got it as a gift for B, and of course the first thing she does when she rolls into the kitchen is bust it open.

Listless
Woke up tired, felt listless at Edie's playgroup, and when she took a nap, I napped too, a solid 1.5 hours. Kinda skipped lunch, and snacked a bit on the food me and the students made for the 100+ people of the PTA meetings. On the way home, still not horrendously hungry, but picked up some noodles so when I went food shopping soon after, I wouldn't overspend by being hungry.
BREAKFAST: 9:15am, iced green tea, toasted pumpernickel bagel with chevre and sable, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

Workworkworkwork pt 3
Well, the intention was for a healthy breakfast, but I ended up revving my engines hard. I was a little hungry at home, but had visions of a roasted veg and goat cheese sammich in my head. So I contented myself to some espresso beans, but when I got to Almondine, the sandwiches weren't ready yet! So I went across the street to Jaques Torres and got a slammin' cookie. Not healthy, but perfectly indulgent and satisfying, makes me happy to focus on healthier options later on.
AM SNACK: 8am, iced green tea, handful of chocolate covered espresso beans
BREAKFAST: 9:45am, large chocolate chip cookie, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
LUNCH: 12:45pm, 2 slices of green apple pizza, water, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Further experimentation. Definitely a worthy seasonal pie. Key is a balsamic reduction, no tomato sauce, and a healthy dose of salt and pepper. Thin slice, no need to pre-fry the tomatoes.
PM SNACK: 4:30pm, green salad, two small almond ice creams, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
DINNER: 5:15pm, 3 meatballs with Romano, a few olives, water, 3 chocochip cookies,1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
A coworker brought in homemade cookies, had to have a few. Man, today is turning into an overboard sweets day!
EVENING SNACK: 7pm, 2 thin & crispy slices, .25 bowl, hunger 3/5
Experiment stretching a medium dough to large and lightly topping it. Reminded me of the cracker-like pizza I had many years ago at the very first 'artisinal' pizza place I experienced.
EVENING SNACK: 10:15pm, 2 burgers & fries, 1 bowl, hunger 3/5

Workworkworkwork pt 2
Woke up to B placing Edie on the bed, and B narrating while Edie gingerly poked my face. "Nose!" Nose poke. "Hair!" Beard poke. "Where are poppa's ears?!" Ear poke. "Eyes!" Eye poke. Perhaps the most awesome way to wake up ever.
Had some dreams about being stuck in a construction zone of the Manhattan side of the Staten Island ferry, trying to get to the Island but being thwarted by the construction. Stranger, the construction worker explained I could not leave the zone the same way I came in, but would have to take a rickety single-person pontoon boat from there to Governor's Island, where I'd have to wait many hours for a ride to Staten Island.
Due to a self-locking door, a kitchen guy and myself spent a brief part of the morning jimmying the lock of the office, pretty annoying.
BREAKFAST: 8:45am, organic wholegrain chex with the good milk, half portion of iced green tea, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
LUNCH: 1pm, roasted potatoes with fennel sausage, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Freshly sliced potatoes cooked in a caste iron pan with onion, season with salt, pepper and parsley, and some seared crumbled sausage sprinkled on top. Pretty much the best off-menu lunch I'm gonna get in the pizza restaurant.
LUNCH 2: 2pm, 3 slices of green tomato-balsamic pizza, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Pizza experimentation. Seared some thick slices of green tomato in caste iron, thin sliced some and placed directly on pizza. Thin cooked-on definitely the winner. The nice bitterness of the tomato against the acidy sweetness of the balsamic just worked, and complimented perfectly by the bed of moz and garlic. Gotta try this at home for friends.
PM SNACK: 4pm, a small cup of almond ice cream, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
PM SNACK: 5:45pm, green salad
DINNER: 8pm, 2 slices of white pizza with bacon and olives, 8 oz sprite, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

Workworkworkwork
I'm still a little sore from T's tournament of terror last Friday, and the new layer of weariness from riding a strong 70 miles yesterday didn't help me feel much better when I woke up this morning. But I started with a good breakfast while racing through chores, and hoped for the best.
Mildly busy in the resto today, trying to hold myself to a better eating habit.

Spent
Pretty much a perfect day. Woke at 7, saw a little Edie & B, then took off for the Tour de Bronx. Beautiful weather, the bike felt great, the ride went smoothly. Coming home, my friend E got in touch and dropped in on her in Greenpoint for some seriously Polish food, hit the spot perfectly. Spent the even refreshening myself, playing with the Edles and just enjoying the feeling of a spent body.
