Leftovers

I had two servings of the leftover pasta, since Kendra didn't like it.




I also had a few more of those mint chocolate UFOs from Trader Joe's.

Pasta With Lemon Asparagus Cream Sauce

Sunday night, Kendra picked a recipe and we made it.  We started with just a simple salad of carrots, cucumbers, avocado, and tomato.



Next was the main course.  We started by peeling some asparagus, sauteing it with some garlic, then mixing in some cream and lemon zest (and a tiny bit of finger zest).  Then we mix it all in with some pasta.  The recipe called for fettuccine but we didn't have it, so it came out a little dry (since the ratio of surface area to volume is much higher for spaghetti).  Kendra didn't like it, but I thought it was great.  I topped it with some shredded Romano cheese.

TGIF

At the weekly TGIF, there were some tasty snacks. More grilled asparagus, some chips with guacamole and salsa verde, and bread with "Italian Pico De Gallo", which as it turned out, was mostly olives (blech!). I didn't eat those.
To get the taste of olives out of my mouth, I had a small brownie.

The Sampler

Lunch at work on Friday was a sampling of a bunch of different things that sounded good to me. On my plate are: a vegan tofu and vegetable skewer, some flatbread, some eggplant korma (just above the flatbread), some curried potatoes, and some grilled asparagus. In the bowl is some potato and goat cheese soup. Yum!


Even after all of that (which wasn't really all that much), I was still a little hungry. Instead of hitting up something super caloric, I decided for a bunch of veggies, after learning that the salad bar now has sprouts. The dressing is some sort of Asian sesame something or other. But I've got lettuce, corn, tomatoes, onion, sprouts, and broccoli!

I still wanted something a little sweet, so I got a tiny piece of coffee cake, since it had some sort of filling that I hadn't seen before.
