Last second resolution

I'm laying on the couch around noon, writing up what I ate so far and about to go down to take the laundry out of a very quiet laundry room. I just ate way too much for breakfast -- the bag that the cornflakes came in was torn, and what I thought would be a light pour was a big gush.

This big bowl of cornflake brought back a memory from my childhood, when I poured myself a bowl of cereal that was too large, and it was one of the rare times my dad yelled at my. He yelled at my that my bowl of cereal was gluttonous and wasteful, and it was disgusting. I sat there eating the bowl, not hungry anymore, just fantastically guilty. I don't remember if I finished the bowl, but I do remember that feeling.

I just read the last two year's entries for New Years Eve, sounded so upbeat but not full of resolutions. I hate resolutions, real change doesn't stick when prompted by something so arbitrary as a time-keeping holiday. BUT poking around this blog, it occurred to me it was at it's most useful when I was color-coding my entries, forcing me to budget healthy food vs. junky food, based on a sensible diet from Alton Brown's show. This has been niggling in the back of my head for a while, so starting Monday, I'm going to start again and see where it takes me.

The last couple of New Year's Days we had old friends over but with D in Oregon, it kinda took the heart out of it and it never came together this year. Yesterday I made burrito ingredients, and this morning rolled them. I tried to make a set of ice cream sandwiches, but the ice cream was too soft and I cut the shortbread cookies too small, so I think I need to bake a new round of cookies.

NYE fneh

E&T came over to hang out and see Edles, served some fresh whole wheat bread out of the bread machine (1 step closer to super hippy), zapped the last of the burritos (while I ate some mac n cheese from the back of the freezer), and served some freshly made ice cream sandwiches -- dulce de leche ice cream on short bread cookies.

We took a walk in the hood in the afternoon, but took it easy and ordered in in the evening, in bed before midnight.

Plotz

After barely 4 hours sleep, I was thankful B had the day off to look after Edie. I spent the morning food shopping, then road my bike over to the pediatrician to join B & E for E's regular check up. Edie is in perfect health! When I left there, I realized I had forgotten to eat and between being tired and unusually hungry, thought I might actually plotz. Went around the corner to a slightly upscaleish Chinese joint and really enjoyed a meal, though even with my hunger the servings seemed way too large.

Watched some TV then passed out by 9. Cooking planned for the last day of 2010 tomorrow!


BREAKFAST: 10:30am, pint of iced green tea, pumpernickel bagel & butter, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5


LINNER: 5pm, shrimp dumplings, fried rice with Chinese sausage, water, 1.75 bowl, hunger 4/5
Chinese sausage is dry and firm, and slightly sweet with a nice soy flavor. I don't know why more Chinese restaurants offer it.

Unplowed

So the trudge to work was quite intense. Riding through narrow slushy streets was slow but fine, but the bike path over the Manhattan Bridge was unplowed, making me walk my junky commuter bike over a bumpy tundra. Despite wind and frigid temps, I started sweating like crazy and pulled off my hats and opened my jacket, sweating like nuts.

This holiday season is a real disaster for restaurants. First, Xmas eve and Xmas day falls on a Friday and Saturday, so instead of giving a boost to a slow mid-week day, it slows a busy weekend. Same for New Years, the eve on a Friday, day on a Saturday. Usually the week between the holidays is pretty busy, with people off work, tourists in town, but BLAM the blizzard of 2010 hits Sunday evening, leaving much of the city on lock down for half the week!

We got slammed at work, but the owner decided to understaff, so I was alone on the floor for the lunch crowd -- it was a lot of fun and made a few duckets, but by the end I was dizzy on my feet, legs aching and ready for the proper wait staff and busboys to take over (who I had to call in, but due to schedules and weather could not get there before the rush was over.) It was a bit like playing a video game, and kept me tightly wound until I finally fell asleep around 6 in the morning.

Post Blizzard

Due to NYC still digging out of the Blizzard of 2010, the restaurant stayed closed. We had child care today, so B & I had a date-day, going for breakfast at a local cafe, then a movie, then lunch out, a little shopping, a little walking, sitting in a salon while she had her hair did.

Pizza dreams

Got to bed 1amish, and when I woke up around 9, I recalled a very strange, vivid dream, one of those dreams that are new and unprecedented. The beginning starts with a boy child, maybe 6 or 7, me but not me, as the dream is from 3rd person perspective. The child has slipped away from home, and has made his way to a forest bordering a large lake. He brought a fishing pole, broken down and in his back pocket, and a pizza in a box. When he gets to the shore, he realizes his destination is across the lake, but can not swim and all the boats are occupied and far out on the lake.

The next segment of the dream is later, at the child's home. A friend's family is supposed to make pizza for the school, but it is revealed before the pizza is served, that the pepperoni is poisoned. Only a small scandal ensues, and the family's father goes on the run. This puzzles the boy, as why would anyone want to poison the school? He sets out to make pizza with his own father for school, but one of his dad's friend's who are helping make the pizza ends up putting sheets of lead foil into the pizza, making it poisonous. The boy goes to Grand Central to search for pizza that is not poisoned, but does not find any. Back home, he attempts to make pizza, but everyone who knows how is either too scared or on the run for poisoning it. The boy is sad, an a world-weary way, the end.

Spent the day zoned out. Bundled Edie up and took her outside. She was in a great mood  getting dressed, great mood in the hallway walking out, but once out, she started wimpering and clinging to my legs, then took a few steps, wimpered louder and clung to my legs harder -- the wind was whipping frosty air, sending little sheets of powdered ice in our faces. After 30 seconds of that, I put her back in the warm vestibule and -poof- she was happy and giddy again. So much for play in the snow.

My new toy

Woke up half asleep, went to the local diner by my lonesome for some sense memory of an early morning with my parents. Spent the morning with Edie and playing with a new attachment for the mixer, a pasta extruder -- made fresh buccatini. We three barreled out into the snow to a friend's 2 year old's birthday playdate at a local playroom. Scarfed cold pizza and Edie had a blast, nice to get together with neighborhood folks in the middle of a blizzard.

Made my pasta after hours, needs some adjustment but look forward to making elbow mac, rigatoni, round spaghetti and fussili!

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.

EVENING SNACK: 10pm, 1 small burrito & guac, quart of water

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.

BREAKFAST: 8:30am, cornflakes with organic dead milk, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
LUNCH: 12:15pm, 3 superthin slices with bacon, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

PM SNACK: 6pm, cranberry lime soda
PM SNACK: 7:15pm, 1 small slice of pizza

DINNER: 10pm, shrimp fried rice, quart of water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

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


SCHOOL DINNER: 6:15pm, lasagna, shrimp scampi, bread pudding, mint lemonade, 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

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.

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.
