Meaty urge

Weather is still fantastic, makes me nervous that it'll change and be more of a typical miserable cold March any moment...

TODAY'S COOKING:
Chocolate Pudding: Made this pudding again in advance of dinner tomorrow. Went a full cup of sugar this time, never got as thick in the pot as before. Maybe it'll thicken when it cools? If not, it'll still taste good, I'll just have to call it pot de creme or something, he he...

Roasted Broccoli: Used this recipe for ingredients and time & temp, but didn't measure anything, just through it together. Replaced panko with whole wheat panko, used asagio for the cheese, and tossed in some sauteed mushrooms into the mix.

AM SNACK: 9:30am, iced green tea

BREAKFAST: 11am, hardcore oatmeal, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5

LUNCH: 1pm, vegetable patty, jerk chicken patty, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Out and about with Mil, looking for something fast, cheap and relatively healthy. Wandered into a Golden Krust on 14th Street, Jamaican street food. The vegetable patty was remarkably good, a wholewheaty crust, and the vegetable filling was cooked to mushy in the same way the beef filling is, and spiced perfectly. The jerked chicken patty was good, but the crust was white flour and the chicken filling had a very slight, very mild ammonia note. I would have been perfectly happy with another vegetarian patty...


PM SNACK: 5pm, a bit of hot chocolate pudding, a spoonful of freshly made whipped cream, 2oz of dark chocolate, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Didn't intend this snack, but when I get cooking, things get thrown in my mouth. recipe called for 5 oz of dark chocolate, and I had 7 on hand. I took a nibble to see how good it was (the crappy supermarket only had Cadbury on hand), it wasn't so good, but rather than the trash (or Betsy), it went into me.

DINNER: 7pm, roasted broccoli with tabouli, 10oz Sprite, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5


EVENING SNACK: 9pm, whole grain chips with fresh salsa and fresh guac, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5


EVENING SNACK: 11pm, 2 meatballs, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Huh, tried to minimize my meat consumption today, but the urge grabbed me.
