Good Monday

Almost a whole night's sleep allowed me to go to Brooklyn to visit C and her 2 year old daughter Autumn in the morning after dropping Edie off. Took a nice long walk to Trader Joe's after, then home. Spent a nice hour with both kids after school in the park.

AM SNACK: 6:45am, iced green tea


AM SNACK: 8:15am, banana

BREAKFAST: 10am, hot tea, a mini bagel & butter, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5


LUNCH: 12:30pm, supermarket sushi, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Swung by Trader Joes on the way home, the sushi there was very cheap. I picked up a largish platter for $6, and sat on the street and tried to eat it, but....you get what you pay for. The main feature of this kind of stuff is not the fish, but the rice, and here the rice was kinda overcooked and mushy, not that delicate balance of sticky and individual at once. Ate about 1/2 of it, so in reality it was the same price as better stuff, just crappier.

PM SNACK: 1:15pm, 2 chocolate ice cream mochi, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 3pm, beef empanada, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Walking with E&E after picking up Edie from school, stopped by a local tiny empanada shop - quite interesting, as it's similar to what I envision a modern knish shop to be, only the wrong ethnicity. Not a huge beef fan, but a beef empanada is kinda like the potato knish or the cheese slice, y'know? Nice flavor, cumin, wine, softened raisins. Yeast dough, baked. Reheated on a griddle with a cover. Hmmmm.

DINNER: 7:45pm, large green salad, shrimp toast, wonton soup, vegetable lomeain, 8oz ginger ale, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
