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…

Ediefying

Spent the morning making dough for jelly donuts I'm going to fry tomorrow, 20 lbs of mix for latkes, laundry and Edie-fying. Went to a 2 yr old's party in the afternoon, took it easy in the eve.

AM SNACK: 8:30am, iced green tea

AM SNACK: 11pm, small ice cream sandwich, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5
In memory of the horrible ice cream sandwiches I'd get at work when I worked at MTV, in the freezer case and tasting like chemicals. I made them as a back up for tomorrow's Hanukkah party, just in case the jelly donuts don't work out, I can bust these out with minimal fuss.

LUNCH pt 1: 2pm, 2 slices whole wheat bread with hummus, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5

LUNCH pt 2: 4pm, a few slices of bad pizza, half a cupcake, a half cup of soda, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

Saturday, December 4

Ain't no party like a latke & donut party!

A really good day. Woke up late, took Edie out to the local diner, she sat in a high chair with me and snacked on little bits of potato and bacon and took big gulps out of my water cup.

At 11am started cooking: first, busted out about 80 jelly donuts (deep fry), then took out the skillets and cooked up about 20 pounds of latkes (pan fry). In the end, we hosted about 30 adults, 15 kids, and it was a good vibe. Busy and friendly, well attended but not too crowded. I finished frying about 10 minutes after the first guest came, and ran out of latkes at about the time the party ended. In the eve, went to a Food Coop meeting, ordered in some Chinese.

Cookie drama

Spent the morning cooking various things, spent the afternoon hanging with the Edie. Edie decided to grab the lap top, open it, jump up and down on it, so had to skip yoga to go get it repaired. Had a nice bike ride to Jackson Heights to join friends for Filipino food. A good mellowish Friday.


BREAKFAST: 9am, smoothie, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Banana, grapes, frozen mango, blueberry and cherries, good yogurt, organic dead milk, fresh ground flax, a dash of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt. Damn good.

AM SNACKS: 11-1pm, cookies, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Had some cookie drama, and had to make a 2nd batch of chocolate chip cookies -- the first were too rounded and tall to make ice cream sandwiches. So in my disappointment, ate too many

LUNCH: 2pm, 2 slices whole wheat toast with homemade hummus, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
Made hummus, happy with how it came out.

DINNER: 8:30pm, assorted Filipino dishes, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5

I feel ya, poppa.

I remember my father used to get so disgusted. He was a chemistry professor at CUNY Staten Island, and his preference was for grad students, but he was forced to take at least one class of undergrads for basic chem every semester. I remember once talking to him when he was in a foul mood (which meant he was simply quieter than usual), and he shook his head and said, "They're so stupid." And he meant it -- it was a combination of factors as he understood it -- these kids were only there because they didn't know what to do with themselves, they were avoiding the real world of the job market, they didn't even try to comprehend what he was teaching, he knew and they knew it would have little meaning to their lives, and a good number of them were so poorly prepared by the education they had previously, that even if they weren't born stupid, they have now been rendered that way.

I taught my culinary class yesterday, six recipes of various complexities, from making breakfast sausage from scratch, which involved disassembling and grinding meat and fat back at temp with a self-made cure mix, to a simple granola recipe, where you combine everything except 2 ingredients by hand, toast it then mix the final ingredients. The kids were a bit amped on sugar for the beginning where I talk a little about the subject matter and go over the recipes, and I broke them into three teams of three. They self-determined the groups, and there was definitely an A team, a B team and a fuck-anything-up team. So I assigned the recipes accordingly, and let them all go with minimal guidance, to see what would happen.

The A & B team were fine, they asked some appropriate questions, no big deal. The C team made the granola first. I had gone over the recipe before hand -- do not add the dried fruit until the granola comes out of the oven. I even asked the class why do it this way, why not just toss it in (because all the ingredients are raw and baking will bring out the flavor, while the fruit have already have been cooked by dehydration, and would only burn them and make them bitter.) The C-team, of course, throws the fruit in and when I taste it after, I ask them what all the black bits are. They look at my dumbly. I taste a bit, and there is apple-tones matching an intense carbony bitterness. I ask if they put the fruit in before baking. More dumb stares. I pictured my dad looking depressed and shaking his head. I feel ya, poppa, I feel ya.

Work Work

229.6 --> 229.0-->228.4

So this month's weigh in shows a statistically insignificant loss, but combined with the month before, it's....still not significant. This is the weight my body likes to be when it eats too much and does too little.

The trip by bike to work this morning was a bit epic, due to high rain and winds, and an errand that made me take the Brooklyn Bridge over.

No comment.

Work

It occurred to me this morning that tomorrow is the 1st, so I'll be weighing in. This month has almost been bike-ride free (aside from commuting to work and taking Edie out on small adventures), and while the weekly yoga is nice, I really must start lifting weights and eating a bit less.

BREAKFAST: 9am, iced green tea, small bowl of organic cornflakes with organic dead milk, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5
LUNCH: 12:30pm, 3 slices super thin pizza, 8oz sprite, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

So Thanksgiving happened.

I can't say I "ate too much" over the Thanksgiving weekend, but I did eat poorly -- not enough veg, fruit, too much sweet. On the positive side, I did commit myself to a little bit more cooking -- on top of the cinnamon ice cream, pumpkin chiffon and chocolate pecan pies I contributed to A's family potluck T-day, I spent part of the weekend cooking up a massive batch of mac n' cheese for the freezer, busted out a load of chocolate pastry cream for a tart and a pie, and a few other little things.

I think this coming week I'm going to focus on two projects: reverse engineer super hippy bread into a formula I can make in my long-neglected bread machine, and also do something I used to do with my dad on a semi-annual basis: make a large batch of hummus for the freezer, and this time I'll use the food processor instead of blowing out my blender!!

AM SNACK: 9am, iced green tea


LUNCH 1: 12:45pm, carrots, cuce & red pepper with ranch, small wedge of mac & cheese, .75 bowl, hunger 4/5

LUNCH 2: 2:45pm, well-done burger, tater tots, water, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5 
Met P for lunch in Williamsburg with Edles. Went to a pub for lunch, the only thing on the menu that was appealing was the burger, but having it well-done was kinda a bummer. Still, Edie went nuts and ate half my tater tots, that was kinda awesome.



DINNER: 6pm, small snip of mac n cheese, a little salad, a small piece of chocolate pie, a small piece of pumpkin chiffon pie, a glass of cava, water, .75 bowl, hunger 3/5

Tasty spork!


I was up at 5 so I could be at school at 7 to prepare lunch for 200 mouths with my students. It was a lot of fun, went even smoother than last year, and people seemed to enjoy the food. And the students seemed to get a kick out of it.

Kids don't start showing up to school until 8, and first period is at 9 (though two of my fiercest and most loyal students met me at 7am to get the turkeys in the oven!) From 8 to 9 there is a cooler in the caf with bags in it -- free school breakfast. It was hard to not to notice that maybe only 1 or 2 students availed themselves of this really nice service. So I investigated, and ate one.

The picture above is the contents of the breakfast bag. A half pint of 1% milk, a quarter cup of fruit punch, a little container of dry cereal, a "bagel burst" and a little packet with spork and napkin. I think the cereal and the spork were tied for most-appetizing.
  • 1% milk: Diet milk is nasty no matter how "used to it" you are. Whole milk, yes, has more fat. Big deal. Drink less of it. Fact is kids ain't drinking the diet milk.
  • Fruit punch: Too sweet, despite being "100% juice" -- it's from concentrate, so the sugars are concentrated. Might as well be soda, but soda that has the distinct flavor of the inside of an aluminum can.
  • Cereal: Kinda like cheesy poofs, minus the cheese. Actually pleasantly mildly sweet, slight corny flavor. I wouldn't buy this, but I'd eat it.
  • "Bagel Burst": I took a bite of this small round baked good, chewed twice, ran to the garbage can and spit it out. In theory, this is supposed to be a small cinnamon bagel round with cream cheese injected in the middle. In realty, it is a dry crumbly stale little brick that feels like rough sand in the mouth, with too-tart white mush in the middle. Absolutely inedible. And notably, the packaging had no ingredient list -- must have 20 chemicals to keep it "fresh" for months in storage.
  • Spork & napkin: brought back memories of school food pre-high school. I remember quite enjoying the hot lunches in the 70s, a nice alternative to the boring pb&j sandwiches my mom would pack. Even back then, they had cheaped-out on the food, going from production kitchens to reheating stations.
Anyway, no wonder no one eats that crap -- it's an insult to the students, a loud message that says that money and bottom line are more important than a healthy breakfast for the kids.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, pot luck dinner with B's family. I'm making Grandma Birdie's Chiffon Pumpkin Pie, cinnamon ice cream and a chocolate pecan pie. I am going to take a break over this holiday, and will continue reporting my eating next Monday. Happy Thanksgiving, all 3 of my readers!

BREAKFAST: 5:30am, iced green tea, chocolate covered coffee beans

Workin' & teachin' & cookin'

Slow to wake up this morning, my hips and feet actually felt a bit sore from carrying the Edles in the back pack contraption all over the city yesterday. I guess it's good to be sore, as it'll make me stronger for next time? Right?

I am now officially in the the thick of Thanksgiving. I went to the shop to open, and got relieved around 2 so I could go to school and cook with the kids. Cooking went well, got home at a reasonable time. Gotta get up at 5:30 to get to school by 7 to start the final push.

AM SNACK: 8:30am, iced green tea
LUNCH: 11:30am, 4 slices of superthin pizza, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

Out

Didn't eat much until a large dinner, but perhaps my body needed that. Took Edie out for a playdate in the morning, then strapped her into a back pack and took her to the Museum of Natural History in the afternoon. It was good to be out today.

BREAKFAST: 8:30am, iced green tea, toasted pumpernickel bagel with butter, ,75 bowl, hunger 4/5

Not sick-sick

Intended to wake up at 7am to have a morning out with the fam, but when I tried, something felt very off and I slept until after 10 -- thank goodness B was around to cover the Edles, or I wouldn't have had a choice. Woke up groggy, lacked energy or appetite, spent most of the day on the couch, with a 4 hour nap that started when Edie went down around 11.

I'm not sick-sick, but I suspect my immune system is fighting something that could go there.

Out of practice

Dreamt I was trying to take the Staten Island Ferry back to Manhattan with my bike, but there was construction. There was only a small crowd of us, but the ferry workers directed us to this very narrow ledge overlooking a canyon, which we had to walk across to get on the ferry. It was way to risky, and we all refused to take this walk, so the ferry left without us. As we all talked and got angrier and angrier at the gub'mint for cutting back service so drastically, someone stole my bike. I definitely think this was about work, and the cutting back of the restaurant.

Had an old friend and her family over for brunch, made pizzas, lotsa fun. Haven't made pizza in forever, my stretching is very out of practice.


AM SNACK: 8:30am, iced green tea
 
BREAKFAST: 9:30AM, BLT on rye, homfries, diet coke, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5
Thing about diet coke, it is excellent as a mouthwash. My mouth still felt slightly pasty from a weird night of dreams, and the diet coke really cleared it out, like paint thinner.

LUNCH: noon, 4 slices of various homemade pizza, 2 slices chocolate pecan pie, water, 1.25 bowl, hunger 4/5


PM SNACK: 7pm, cheesy poofs, water, .25 bowl, hunger 4/5

i cooked a whole lot

Woke up groggy. Caffeine kick helped me start the day off right with just me n' Edie in the house.

Had a "healthy" organic vegetarian burrito thing out of the freezer case for lunch. I used to eat a lot of these in college and in my early days in the city. Why? They are NASTY. And expensive, $3 for the little thing. Had me thinking that as we head into winter, I need to start cooking things that are filling, in large quantities to have in the freezer. Get some whole wheat wraps, cook up some refried beans, sprinkle so high-quality sharp cheddar, and I'll have microwave burritos in the freezer that are a) fresher, b) tastier, and pennies on the dollar. 


School lightened my mood, felt productive and successful. Me and 9 kids, in 3.75 hours, knocked out 3 plain cheese cakes, 3 pumpkin cheesecakes, 5 sheets of brownies, about 12 dozen biscuits, 5 big trays of corn bread, enough Cesar dressing for 100 salads, a gallon of jerk marinade, 20 meatloafs and a bucket cranberry sauce, all from scratch. We'll be cooking another ton on Tuesday, and the home stretch will be early Wednesday morning, when at noon we'll be feeding the school, about 170 mouths.


Didn't eat much today, just didn't feel like it.


AM SNACK: 8:30am, iced green tea, small handful of chocolate covered espresso beans

PM SNACK: 1pm, frozen burrito, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5 


SCHOOL NIBBLES: 3-7pm, 1 biscuit, a couple of chipsahoy cookies, about a cup of sprite


DINNER: 9pm, frozen vegan breakfast burrito, 2 mini burgers, cheesy poofs, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5

Dad disappoints Mom

Had some absolutely weird dreams last night. Then again, most of my dreams are similar, so when one emerges that is radically different, it needs to be puzzled over.

I dreamt that my brother and I were on a road trip with just our dad, we were adults and my dad was elderly, but pre-strokes and in full health. We went to some mildly Canadian city, like Denver or something, a little too clean. We were staying at a hotel with a very narrow, very rickety elevator, on a high floor. I was responsible for driving this large boat-of-car, and my dad did not want to pay for parking, so the night we got in, we spent an hour looking for free on-street parking. The next morning, after waking up late, I go down to get some stuff in the car. The elevator is slow, so I walk down the narrow, rickety stairs and pass a large number of celebrities going up the stairs. First it was people I like, like Woody Harrelson and Neil Young, but as I got further to ground level it was all Kim Kardashian and Kesha. I got to the car, and there were piles and piles of parking tickets on it, and a parking cop was writing another. I tried to argue, but the sign said no-parking after 5am or something. I decided to pocket the tickets and hide it from my dad, and figure out a way to pay them later. I went back up to the room and my brother was in the bathroom, standing over the toilet but unable to pee. My dad was lying in bed watching TV, and I got into bed with him and gave him a long, big hug, it was great. At this point, I started to realize it was a dream and wanted to take full advantage of being in his presence. You don't get to hug your 6-year dead dad too often!

Woke up to a smiley wife and a smiley baby on the bed, both crawling all over me and giving me kisses. It was pretty awesome way to start a day that has great potential to be depressing again.

AM SNACK: 8:30am, iced green tea
LUNCH: noon, vegetarian sandwich, small sprite, 1 bowl, hunger 4/5
Surprisingly disappointing. The sandwich came this week on a nice rosemary focaccia, but it was cut too small, the contents were overstuffed, and the oil and moisture of the vegetables made the bread a little soggy. Still ate it all, it was delicious, but not up to Almondine's standards.

PM WATERING: 1:30pm, 1 pint
LUNCH 2: 3:30pm, 2 slices super thin pizza, small almond ice cream, .5 bowl, hunger 4/5, 1 pint water
PM SNACK: 5:45pm, 2 small slices of pepperoni roll
The pizza cook was fooling around and rolled up a thin-stretched dough with pepperoni to make what is essentially a small under-raised stromboli. This brought back a strong food memory from my childhood.

I remember my dad came home from work one day, and my mom had to stay at work, so it was his responsibility to feed me and my brother. He brought a package of stromboli, which involved moz and wide thin slices of pepperoni wrapped in dough like a babka. It was ok, nothing great, but it was filling and there was some left over. When mom got home and saw what was in the fridge, she was very upset that dad has served her two children "such garbage".

I felt bad for my dad, and I was surprised that he would feed us "garbage". For trash, it wasn't that bad. I also knew that the stromboli was just pizza, rolled up without sauce and left to sit around too long. It's not THAT evil?!

This little piece of stromboli brought me right back to the kitchen in Staten Island, wondering why my mom was upset, and why my dad could of disappointed her.

The weekend report
