Poor eating

Woke up at 5 to give myself some time to have some fun cooking, do a small food shop and get the family out the door at 9:30, so we could make train to Tarrytown for the 2nd birthday of a friend's kid. Took off after we got home in the afternoon to help cook at E's Easter dinner. Definitely not a good eating day.


TODAY'S COOKING:
Tuiles: E was supposed to make ice cream, so rather than bring the 15th uber-heavy dish to the Easter dinner, I thought making these thin, delicate, oh-so-French cookies would be a nice decoration to it. When I got there, E revealed she had not made the ice cream, so they were not served. Oh well.


Too lazy to go dig up the c-school recipe, used the "milk tuile" from this page. Had no stencils, so just spread the batter in a rough circle, then cut it into 8 pie-slices when it came out of the oven. Placed them on a rolling pin as they set to get a nice curve. Definitely not ideal, as the browning remained on the outer edge. Did 4 or 5 rounds, at different temps and times. The last round looked good, but under baked, so after cutting and setting I put them back in the oven for another 3 minutes. They got soft again, but I reshaped them and they came out much crisper than the previous batches.


AM SNACK: 5:30am, iced green tea


BREAKFAST: 6:45am, a whole lot of tuiles, underbaked, overbaked, misshapen, broken, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5


AM SNACK: 9:15am, 2 whole wheat waffles, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5


AM SNACK: 10:45am, sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5


LUNCH: 1:30pm, pigs in blankets, sprite, small hero sandwich, i cup lite beer, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Pretty much nothing healthy at this 2 year old's party, all the soda & meat gave me a weird stomach feeling that I haven't had in quite a while, reminding me how much better it feels to eat in a better style.


DINNER: 8pm, leg of lamb, ham, brussel sprout salad, broccoli casserole, bacon wrapped shrimp, marinated moz and bread, chocolate pie, banana pudding, mildly sweet lemonade, 1 glass cava, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
There was plenty of opportunity to over eat at this Easter dinner, but between the heavy lunch and not wanting to feel sick, I found myself eating a normal portion AND eating less than pretty much everyone at the table. So much food...
