Definitely Indulgent

Due to B's sore throat and Edie's multiple poos yesterday, our overnight trip to CT was cancelled (along with my plans to ride my bike there today and home tomorrow.) I woke late, then packed Edie on the bike and we road the Summerstreets event to Union Square for a little shopping in the Farmer's Market.

In the afternoon, we three made it to the Hester Street Fair and spent a fair amount of time in a playground. We did some food shopping on the way home for the evening's dinner, and got to bed before 10pm.

TODAY'S COOKING:
Mashed Potato with Chili Veg: Made potatoes with the technique I learned in C-school: Boiled the peeled, cut up spuds until soft, baked them for 5 minutes to make them totally dry, ran through a food mill, a small amount of hot heavy cream, melted butter and salt, folded in minimally and poof, perfect mashed potatoes. Softened onions in peanut oil, added bell pepper and mushrooms, added a few tablespoons of chili powder then half a head of crushed garlic, a bit of salt. It was a nice dinner.


BREAKFAST: 10am, toasted bagel & cream cheese, water, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5

LUNCH: 1:45pm, breaded tilapia, brown rice & lentils, 2 ears boiled corn, large green salad, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 4pm, bite of a Mexican ice pop


DINNER: 6:15pm, sauteed mushroom, peppers and onions in chili sauce, mashed potatoes, cookies, water, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Bought a box of shmancy cookies to share with B while watching TV, definitely indulgent.
