Jewish Xmas

The fam took the train to Park Slope to participate in B's family's "Jewish Xmas", I brought bagels, pickles and a side of fish I cured over the last few days. We ended up taking the train home with out any drama, giving us 2 days of really good subway luck!


AM SNACK: 9am, iced green tea


BREAKFAST: 9:45am, smoothie, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Banana, acai juice, good yogurt, fresh ground flax, vanilla extract, salt, frozen cherries, blueberries and mango. Betsy said it tasted a bit medicinal, probably due to the acai juice, but I thought it had a nice sweet/tart balance.

LUNCH: 1-4pm, wholewheat bagel with cream cheese and cured salmon, pickles, babka, 1 cider-champagne drink, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5


DINNER: 8pm, popcorn

Be a Pizzaiola!

 

On this day of Xmas eve, I hit up the farmer's market and bought bagels for tomorrow's Jewish Xmas with B's family. In the afternoon after lunch time, we met up with friends from the neighborhood and had a wild adventure, taking the subway to the Brooklyn Children's Museum in deep dark Brooklyn. Due to the confluence of the holiday AND the Jewish Sabbath, the usually packed wall-to-wall play-museum was our relatively private playground. We met up with some Brooklyn friends there and the experience was spectacular. On top of that, the our subway ride with a connection included went very smoothly, Edie and the other baby were happy the whole way and we we got home, I was a little stunned by how smooth and non-dramatic the whole effort was. AND the museum had a mock-pizza place in it....with a mock oven....


Perhaps I had more fun than Edie for a good five minutes...

We ordered in Chinese for traditional Jewish Xmas eve, I ordered a dish I don't like but my mom would always order. Good thing, I didn't eat most of it, an offering in honor of the dead, I suppose.

Amy's can suck it!

In the morning with Edie, we rode the bike to Wholefoods to complete the food shopping for the week. Got a side of salmon curing in the fridge to bring to B's family on Saturday. Made tea for chilling early, guacamole in the morning, cookies in the afternoon for more ice cream sandwiches.

Finally busted out some of my burritos in the freezer for dinner, they heated up perfectly in the microwave. SO much better than Amy's. The wholewheat tortilla came out soft and and pliable, unlike Amy's which tend to be hard and crunchy in a non-fresh way. I used a lot less fillings than Amy's which made it a lot neater, but still had a nice balance of tortilla-to-filling in the mouth. The beans I spent a day simmering were much more complex tasting, and the morel-infused long-grain brown rice give a nice tone. Next time, gonna use short grain brown and experiment with it's flavor.

The guacamole I made to go with it tasted a little bit flat when I made it, but definitely improved a little by sitting in the fridge for a a few hours. Just mashed guac, diced sweet onion, diced cilantro, fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt -- maybe a jalapeno could improve matters.

Fell asleep on the couch for a few hours after dinner and giving Edles a bath, and when I woke up, the gals were asleep. Wah!

Get my hustle-on

Fell asleep at 11:30, woke with an achy back around 5:30, gave up trying to sleep and set about showering and doing chores around the house. The only problem with being awake to play with Edie for a while after her breakfast is that it puts the day in danger of peaking way too early!

Resto was relatively busy with pre-Xmas traffic. I was the server on the floor for the afternoon and had to get my hustle-on, no time to overeat or be bored, was nice.

The BEST

Woke at 3am, took a shower, watched TV, fell asleep on the couch around 5. Resisted urge to eat something, glad I did. Woke up to Edie running up to me and shouting "PAH PAH!!!" then running away. The BEST. Her teething continues, and she too was up at 3am, forcing B up too. Thank goodness for caffeine and a forgiving wife!

Pleasantly sore from weights yesterday. Looking forward to kicking it up a notch in a few days.

Last class

Got Edie to a the dad's drop-in this morning, then lifted weights before getting her down for her nap. Had school in the afternoon, for the final class & meal for the semester. It went pretty smooth, but I'm glad this semester is over -- the 10 students got along fabulously, better than the 2 previous times, but that also prevented them from focusing as much as the last 2 groups, too. The food was good, and the mint lemonade was so nice, I took home a bottle...


BREAKFAST: 9:15am, small glass of iced tea, 5 pancakes, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5


LUNCH: 12:30pm, bowl of burrito filling, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

Can't Fight the Teether

We three made it out to a local cafe for breakfast where Edie was restless and even knocked a cup of B's coffee to the floor, but regardless it was nice to be out. In the afternoon, an old friend and her family ame over for a round of homemade pizzas. We kinda collapsed after that. It does not help that Edie is teething and has been skipping her afternoon naps, which gets her to sleep early but wakes B up at all hours.

AM SNACK: 8am, iced green tea

Party like it's 2003

Experimented with the pancakes this morning. Recipe calls for 24oz milk, I did 32 oz buttermilk and 8oz milk, and I probably could of done 8 more oz of milk. So tender and moist! I added 1 tbsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp dutch cocoa, too milk, should of done 3 each.

I assembled another batch of burritos, assembled decadent chocolate-chocolate-chip cookies and all-around didn't eat well today, but was happy to be a little sore from the weight lifting yesterday.


AM SNACK: 8:30am, iced green tea

BREAKFAST: 9:30am, handful of chocolate-cinnamon-banana buttermilk pancakes, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5


LUNCH: 1pm, Stouffer's French Bread pizzas, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 4:15pm, pint of apple cider
There are 4 or 5 different orchards offering cider in the farmer's market, and over the last couple of years tried most of them, but one new one I tried last week made my head explode, it's so good -- it's nice and cloudy, sweet balanced with tart, an almost savory mouthfeel, and is just like drinking a whole apple without edits. I picked up a gallon today.

DINNER: 8pm, Chinese brick, chocolate ice cream cookie, 2 bowl, hunger 4/5
Edie was asleep, Betsy was out with friends, and I was partying like it was 2003. TV blaring, lazing on the couch, no one to tell me to cut it out, a brick of comfort food that I shouldn't be eating, but ate anyway. Yep, this is a crazy Saturday night for me.

CCCC

Spent the morning with Edles either at my feet or in her high chair while I baked chocolate chocolate chip cookies, churned chocolate ice cream, roasted garlic and set black beans for a full day's simmer for tomorrow's burritos.

I didn't use a recipe, just winged the cookies. Standard cc cookie recipe, lowered the flour to accommodate the cocoa powder. Took 1/8 the chips, melted them and mixed it with the wet part of the batter. Came out delicious and very flat, like I wanted them for ice cream sandwiches, BUT the reduced flour and over-all lowering of the gluten content made for a very delicate, gooey cookie that were hard to handle, and a good deal fell apart in the process from pan, to cooling rack, to freezer. Not to worry, I boxed the shards and I think Betsy will find good use for them.

Went out with an old friend to MOMA to see the kitchen design exhibit. I arrived a little early and found myself starving, so I had a street lamb-pita, with a "white" sauce that is usually yogurt based but this one tasted mayo-based. $4, didn't look big, but it was a calories bomb. By the time we sat down to fancy dinner, I had no appetite and eating half my food made me feel almost too full to ride my bike home...but I did.

AM SNACK: 8:45am, iced green tea


AM SNACKING: 10:30-11:30am, a few chocolate chocolate chip cookies, a few spoonfuls of chocolate ice cream, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5

Cookin for my people

A good day making healthy muffins for the fam in the morning, cooking with the students in the afternoon. Were building up to dinner for friends and family on Monday, about 50 people then off until late February.

BREAKFAST: 9:15am, small amount of steel cut oatmeal, iced green tea
My god, the oatmeal is such a fantastic thing when heated with a little milk and sugar.

AM SNACK: 11am, a few whole wheat zucchini muffins
Made these out of a baby cook book on Betsy's command. Eh. Needs more butter, replace whole wheat flour with whole wheat pastry flour, more vanilla, less nutmeg, less sugar and one half light brown.

PM SNACK: 1:30pm, multigrain tortilla chips with salsa, water, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5

SCHOOL SNACK: 3:30-5:30pm, snippets of chocolate sauce, cheeses, 2 juice boxes

An Edie to Warm My Heart

Another cold day, not as brutal, though. Woke up with Edie hysterical, but a slightly frazzled B tamed the beast with a bottle of milk and soon enough Edles was lolling around our bed, greeting me with “ha pa pa!” and generally being the most amazing baby ever. Not to mention that all she wanted for breakfast was the white pizza I brought home last night. An Edie to warm my heart!

I’m still surprisingly sore from my minor weightlifting on Monday, but I guess that’s always how it is in the beginning.

BREAKFAST:
8am, small amount of steel cut oatmeal, iced green tea
B was all up in arms about the amount of milk we had left for Edie before I could shop tonight (we had enough), so I skipped adding a bit of milk to my oatmeal before zapping it. It’s good to experiment with common foods like this, makes you realize why you do what you do. The oatmeal was near inedible with out the loosening power of the hot milk. Lesson learned.

BREAKFAST 2: 10:15am, vegetarian sandwich, pint of water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Almondine’s sandwich came on a delicious crusty baguette, very impressive. Nice balance of veg to goat cheese to bread. Satisfying.

LUNCH: 1pm, 4 slices of Sicilian with mushroom & onion, pint of water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
PM SNACK: 2:30pm, a few pork and chive dumplings
Our Chinese delivery person made a few from scratch, actually not very good due to lack of salt, egg and ginger, but what kind of round eyed devil am I to correct her!

PM SNACK: 3:30pm, chocolate ice cream, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Waitress’s last day, I got everyone ice cream. Got chocolate because I plan to whip some up this weekend.

PM SNACK: 5pm, bit of baked salmon
Experiments from my kitchen crew. Overcooked.

PM SNACK: 8pm, beef in mojo de oja
A taste of my crew's wife's cooking. Damn good

DINNER: 10pm, burgers and fries, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
No Comment.

Unreasonably Cold

Holy crap, it was unreasonably cold today. I road my bike to work in the morning, long johns, double layer gloves, balaclava under hat, thick cashmere under flight jacket, scarf, thick socks and STILL my toes got nippy and my exposed face just hurt.

For the first time ever, there was not a single customer all day – we had some delivery, but daaaamn. It took a little discipline from just spending the day stuffing my face.

AM SNACK: 8:45am, iced green tea
 
LUNCH:
1:15pm, 4 superthin slices, 8oz sprite, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

Sneak Attack Chocolate

I was supposed to take Edles to a dad's playdate at the local community center, but felt too fneh to motivate. Spent the morning setting up the bread machine for a "country white bread" (which was a lot like yesterday's plain white bread, but added a small amount of oat flour, replaced AP flour with bread flour, added a couple of teaspoons of sugar, and I set the machine to dark crust instead of medium), cleaning up the kitchen and watching Edie just be an incredibly happy 18 month old.

T was threatening a 10 minute yoga session in my home right before snickledinner, which motivated me to lift some weights before getting Edles down for her nap. Last time I lifted weights regularly was April-June, right before the resto started sucking up all my energy. With little biking and yoga being put on hold until T is back from Israel, this feels right. Especially with how bleah I felt this morning.

Some mischievous chocolate appeared in the mail, but a nice healthy dinner was whipped up for T, who is going away until the new year.

AM SNACK: 8:45am, iced green tea


BREAKFAST: 10am, steel cut oat meal, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Reheated out of the big batch I soaked overnight a few days ago. Just added a splash of milk and a teaspoon of sugar and zapped it in the the micro. Pretty damn delicious.

LUNCH: 12:15pm, homemade mac n' cheese, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 2:30pm, Cadbury dairy milk chocolates, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5

SNICKLEDINNER: 7pm, Hummus & fresh white bread, 2 burritos with salsa, chopped vegetable salad, cider, water, 2 vegan cupcakes, 1.5 bowl, hunger 4/5
The bread came out a little too pale, but as T said, it made a good hearty white sandwich bread.

Pale Loaf

A mellow Sunday. Started off the day right with a fruit-filled smoothie, then me n' the gals went to a baby birthday party in the hood which met me with half a bagel. My plans for the afternoon visiting a museum with a friend was cancelled due to poor weather, so I struck out on my own and ate Wholefoods sushi in a movie theater, at a movie which made me fall asleep. Yep, falling asleep at the movies on a rainy Sunday afternoon, I am officially old.

On the slow walk home, had a falafel at my favorite falafel place on St. Marks, the same one I've been eating at since high school. Picked up donuts for everyone on the way home.

Dinner was eaten out of the bread machine. I have not used the thing since before I even met Betsy, not to mention culinary school. It quite a powerful machine, though limited by it's uni-tasker status and ability to only make one shape of loaf from beginning to end. I did a very plain white bread as a dry-run, and it came out good, but very pale. It was the kind of bread that's good when it's still hot and steaming right out of the oven, but once it cools it's just fneh. Some serious loaf experimentation is in my future.

BREAKFAST: 9am, smoothie, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5


AM SNACK: 11:30am, half a pumpernickel bagel with hummus, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5


LUNCH: 1pm, shrimp avocado sushi, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

Mellow Saturday

Woke up around 5 and could not get back to sleep, achy back. I need to do more physical things. Watched TV to wake up, got the laundry in, made waffles and fed Edles while I folded laundry. Productive.

B slept in late-ish, and by 10:30 or so I fell asleep in Edie's room and was aroused hours later when it was time for Edie to take her nap. Took a ride around downtown to pick up various bits, and ordered in Ethiopian with the Ol' Lady in the evening.

In the morning while juggling laundry and Edie, I simply took my waffle recipe and swapped out milk for buttermilk, and they turned out much more tender and rich, though there was not a lot of crispness. Gonna go 50/50 next time and see what happens.

BREAKFAST: 8am, several buttermilk waffles, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5


AM SNACK: 11:30am, iced green tea

LUNCH: 1pm, 6" soy burger sub, chips, Dr. Pepper, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
On a bike jaunt around downtown to  do a lil' shopping (yuck), stopped by a Subway for lunch. Weird how it's a corporate chain that gives a relatively healthy meal, but the soda tasted oddly medicinal. Makes sense, as there is a "dr." in it's name.

DINNER: 5:15pm, vegetarian Ethiopian platter, water, ice cream sandwich, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

I Am Burrito Boy

Started the day off with some good eating, then went off the rails pretty quick as I made a bunch of super-flat chocolate chip cookies to make ice cream sandwiches -- the vanilla ice cream needed to be used up!

Took a nice walk in the afternoon with the gals, stopped by the wonderful pretzel shop on Ave B which held me until dinner. I started simmering blacks beans in the morning, and added cilantro cooking base, roasted garlic and caramelized onion & red pepper to it. I set some brown basmanti up in the rice cooker, and when I got home, assembled mini burritos in whole wheat tortillas and through in a bit of cheddar. The beans came out pretty nicely, and the final product turned out even better (and cheaper) than the frozen Amy's brand. Dinner consisted of a plate of left over fillings...

BREAKFAST: 8:15am, steelcut Irish oatmeal with a little milk, sugar and salt, pint of iced green tea, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5

Constant Motion

A nice day -- spent the morning with the Edes, did some chores in the 'hood, oddly ended with E not napping, just hanging out in her crib for a few hours cooing. Taught pizza to my students, fun but the end results were crappier than the last 2 times I taught this lesson. Swung by Wholefoods on the way home and had a nice evening vegging in front of the TV.

From waking to taking a shower when I got home, I was pretty much in constant motion. It was good.

AM SNACK: 9am, iced green tea

BRUNCH: 11:45am, 8 freshly fried latkes, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Had a little left over mix from Sunday, fried them off before they had a chance to go bad.

SCHOOL SNACKING: 5-7pm, lots of differently prepared, mostly poorly made slices of pizza, a handful of juice drinks .75 bowl, hunger 4/5

EVENING SNACK: 11pm, cheesy poofs, nuttela & peanut butter, quart of water, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5

Snicklepizza!

Got home tired last night, but took a few hours to unwind with some bad TV. Got a full 8 hours sleep, but only got to see B & the Edles briefly.

BREAKFAST: 9:15am, ice cream sandwich
I gave one to Carla, but with the last one in reach, snarfed it down and now they’re gone. Still have ice cream left, which means I may have to make another batch of cookies, an experimental batch that will be even better in the formation of chipwiches….eeeevil!

LUNCH:
12:45pm, 3 slices Sicilian with veg, a sprite, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

SNICKLEPIZZA: 2pm, 1 slice superthin vegan pizza, pint of water, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
T came over to the shop with a very animated friend and I hooked them up with some vegan fare. I missed last week’s yoga and missing this week’s due to scheduling, so it was good to get a snickle in.

DINNER: 4:30pm, beef in broth with rice and noodles, curry sauce with baguette, white rice with shrimp and ham with refried beans, diet coke, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
The Asian delivery driver came in with a bunch of yummy food to share, and the Mexican cooks freestyled a staff meal at the same time, it was pretty multiculti in the best sense of the word.

EVENING SNACK: 11pm, burgers & fries, crumb buns, 1.75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Don't ask.

Criminally Delicious

Got in around 3am after spending the evening in the shop with James Franco & Michael Shannon (and a crew of about 30 studenty types.) Even though it was a night in the shop, it was a total different thing, as I was the only employee and we weren’t serving food. I remember when I lived with Danny downtown and we hosted a student film, same kind of energy. I’m glad I never got into the movie business.

The mock-chipwiches I made are criminally delicious. Will give the rest away ASAP.


AM SNACK: 9am, iced green tea

BREAKFAST: 9:30am, ice cream sandwich

LUNCH: 12:30pm, 3 slices of Sicilian with mushroom and onion, 2 superthin slices with artichoke and olive, pint of water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 5pm, large green salad, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5

DINNER: 6pm, breaded fried shrimp, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
One of the Mexican fellows in the kitchen made a few of these, and I commanded him to make a buttload more. He took out frozen shrimp, butterflied them, made a simple mix of fine bread crumbs, parm and salt, dipped in flour, then water, then pressed into the mix. Fried in olive oil in caste iron in the pizza oven, for a hot minute. Perfection. Gotta try his style at home.

EVENING SNACK: 11pm, ice cream sandwich, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5

A theme, detected

Woke up at 5 and couldn’t get back to sleep. Edles didn’t rise and greet the world until 7:30 (with a huge smile and a bounce in her stance, no less), so got some good snuggle time in with the missus. Spent the morning at the dad’s drop in play group at the local community center, a run to the supermarket, then back for nap time. I fell asleep in front of the TV and got a 2 hour snooze before Edie’s maw demanded food.

B came home early so I could make it to the shop – we were closed, but I was there to babysit a film shoot until the early morning. James Franco is directing and starring in some film with Michael Shannon, and I got to eat dinner with 'em

Funny, I sat in restaurant writing about what I ate, then a list of ingredients to buy for my pizza class on Thursday, then the minutes for the LES Food Coop meeting from Sunday, then memories of food for a writing project. I detect a theme…
