Cooking, Waterin' & Ballet

Woke up with a cough, but feeling a little better, cough not as coughy as the last few days. Got my regularly scheduled weights in before T and her bebe came over. We baked cookies for her people, and we also made pasta from scratch, before heading out with bebes for bebestuff.

Picked up Edie after school and went to our coop's big playground, where the water feature was on for the first time this season. After five minutes of Edie pleading with her eyes to allow her to get wet, I got her down to her diaper and she was running, running, running for a solid hour in and out of the spray.

Met up with MAP in the evening for some ballet at the Met. MAP is great n' all, but I look forward to going to the Met with my wifey sooner than later....

TODAY'S COOKING
Vanilla Ice Cream Custard: Before T showed up, I quickly whipped off a batch of triple vanilla bean custard to make ice cream tomorrow, because Sunday we are going to a start-of-summer party in the 'hood.
Spinach Pasta: Experimental -- why not make whole wheat pasta instead of buying it? 3.5 cups whole wheat flour, 6 eggs, 1/2 cup spinach. Cooked and chilled spinach, blended it with eggs to smooth. Made dough, rested for an hour. Rolled out in machine. Dough was a little weak on the gluten side, broke when got really long. Too moist too, had to hang each noodle on a pasta rack to keep from sticking. In the end, tasted good, slightly gritty, but not as bad as I thought it would be.

AM SNACK: 7:30am, iced green tea

BREAKFAST: 9am, brown rice crispies & organic dead milk, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Measured out a 30 gram "single serving" of cereal, way too little, so poured 60 and it looked reasonable. A single serving of milk was 1 cup, which was too much. Hmmmm.

LUNCH 1: noon, spinach pasta with shrimp and homemade sauce, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5


LUNCH 2: 2:30pm, 6" veggie burger sandwich, sunchips, diet coke, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
From the materials provided, I  estimate this meal at 600 calories, relatively low for fastfood. Hmmm


EVENING SNORT: 6:30pm, glass of proseccco


DINNER: 8:45pm, 2 slices of pizza, sprite, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
