Hungry Man

Chilled with Mil in the morning, got laundry done, taught in the afternoon, food shopped in the evening, fed my childhood nostalgia in the evening.

AM SNACK: 8:15am, iced green tea


BREAKFAST: 9:15am, hardcore oatmeal, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5


LUNCH: noon, 2 hot dogs with mustard & caramelized onion, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

Tiny one ounce packs of chips have 110 calories -- wow.

SCHOOL SNACK: 6pm, farro & sausage, 10oz coca cola, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5


DINNER: 9:30pm, Hungry Man Salisbury Steak Frozen Dinner, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Picked up something different at the super market, something comforting from my childhood. Definitely not as good as I remember. Potatoes were clearly reconstituted from dry, the microwave-baked brownie was oddly cake-like. I never ate the string beans as a kid, but I ate them now, and they were over-cooked and oddly sweet. Why are they in so much liquid? The Salisbury steaks were kinda rubbery and overly sweet too, but they had this really appealing grilled flavor I distinctly remember from childhood. The Salisbury steaks I made for a dinner party a few months ago were ridiculously superior.

B b'd and moaned at me this morning after finding the container in the trash. I had to explain to her that a) it was fun and mindful,  not a chore or mindless, b) it was 1/3 the calories of a box of donuts that give me the same comfort and c) just because your not pregnant doesn't mean you shouldn't be barefoot and quiet! (that's husband jokes for ya)
