Heero heero heero!!

Woke up around 9, totally wiped out from the pleasantly-ending snickleemergency last night. Determined, got Edie & myself to pre-preschool on time and Edie had a great time. Didn't have time to nap while she napped because I got nothing done in the morning, and got to teaching on time.

Despite my lack of energy, teaching was great, students were focused and the food came out well. I did cancel a dinner with a work friend and her babydaddy, small price to pay for being a proper human being. Watched some horrible TV and got to bed early.

AM SNACK: 9:15am, iced green tea


LUNCH: 12:15pm, 2 lotus leaf wraps, lomein, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Ordered the "lo mein" from the cat I usually get the fishball and rice noodles. It was only $1.25 for a big container, and very different than what I'd get in an Americanized Chinese take out joint. The noodles themselves were the same, but they were dry, not greasy and wet, and they had a lot of flavor, like they were rehydrated in a soy concoction. There was no meat and no veg except soft shredded cabbage, probably steamed or boiled and tasting pleasantly mild. 


SCHOOL EATS: 6:15pm, gyro sandwich, sausage baked ziti, chocolate layer cake, ginger ale, 1.25 bowl,  hunger 4/5 
This was student's choice day, and I edited it down from 5 red meat dishes and 3 desserts and no vegetables to two non-beef red meat dishes and one dessert. The ziti was a repeat, but with the addition of Italian pork sausage that we made outselves, toasting and grinding fennel for it. The gyro was fun, something I never made, found the Alton's recipe here. It was surprisingly accurate in replicating diner gyro meat, but after slicing, I would have sauteed at high heat to give it a bit of color. The cake came out pretty great, we threw in espresso into both the cake and the frosting, which deepened an otherwise reedy chocolate flavor.


EVENING SNACK: 9pm, 2 ice cream sandwiches, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
