Birthday Dinner

I ate dinner at work so that we wouldn't have to do any cooking or cleaning.  I had a veggie burger with cheese, lettuce, onion, and tomato.  A few French fries, a tomato and basil grilled cheese sandwich, some hominy casserole, and some squash.  Yum!  It was way too much food though.


Back home, my friends surprised me with some cake.  I had a piece, which was tasty, but again, I had way too much to eat.

Stayin' Awake

I had a long class yesterday afternoon, so I brought some caffeine to help keep me awake.

Birthday Lunch

Yesterday was my birthday.  I ate way too much at both lunch and dinner.  Oh well.  One day a year is not a huge deal.


At the top left is a butternut squash soup.  I thought it was alright, but apparently later batches were too salty.  The main plate has a bunch of curry, but it was just OK, I don't even think I ate it all.


They had some tomato and mushroom pizza, so I had two small pieces of that.


I also had some of the Brussels sprouts.


And a piece of chocolate cake, since it was my birthday.

Roasted Potatoes And Vegetarian Sausage

Dinner on Wednesday night was some rosemary roasted potatoes:


And some vegetarian Italian sausages from Trader Joe's. I fried them up with some onions.


Basically a big excuse to eat a lot of ketchup.


I also had some honeydew bubble tea.

Still Hungry

I was told that the secret to feeling full was a bunch of fiber and a little fat.  So, I added a little fat in the form of some cashews, peanuts, and almonds.

Big Salad, The Third

Wednesday I had another big salad.  This time, I added a tiny bit of lowfat cottage cheese.

Another Fabulous Lunch

Really digging the cafe lately.  We have some "Scallops Verde with Smoked Tomato Wheatberries and Spelt" which were delicious and spicy (and the wheatberries were great too).  A papaya and sugar snap pea salad with sesame seeds and mirin (got it because it sounded strange, but it was great).  A stuffed portobello mushroom with squash (and a bunch of other veggies).  There's also a small salad with spinach, fresh mozzarella, and tomatoes.  Finally, the small plate has a polenta cake with succotash! I've never had succotash before, but it was really tasty.


As if that weren't enough, I had a small slice of pecan pie.
