Canadian No

A good busy day. Did grocery shopping in the morning, went out to Red Hook for some successful recruiting for the cooking class which starts in March, then met up with Y for lunch at Mile End. Caught a movie right after, then home to my ever lovin' family.

TODAY'S COOKING
Health Salad: B didn't finish the green salad and it went to waste, so trying something different this week. Really enjoyed this last week, perhaps it can be a go-to vegetable this week. Mainly raw shredded cabbage, dressed in 3 parts white vinegar, 2 parts sugar, salt, white pepper and a little olive oil.

AM SNACK: 8:45am, iced green tea
I cut the sugar by 1/3, and I could really taste the difference. Barely sweet, but sweet enough to tamp down bitter notes. Hmmm. Not sure if I like it more or less yet.

BREAKFAST: 10:30am, sable with cream cheese on pumpernickel bagel, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Ate this right after I got home from purchasing it, bagel fresh and not toasted. Wow, damn good.

PM SNACK: 12noon, a few squares of homemade brownie

LUNCH: 2:15pm, smoked meat on rye, fries, matzoh ball soup, pickles, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Went to Mile End in Brooklyn with a friend for lunch, it's been getting a lot of hype as a Canadian-styled deli right here in NYC. Very unimpressed. I guess it's "authentic", but in the end the 2nd Ave Deli is what I grew up on and love.

DINNER: 9pm, shrimp parm hero, green salad, chocolate chips and cashews, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
