Because all I concern myself with is food.
No pictures, please.
That's a good question. Not fleur de sel caramels because I just ate a box of those for lunch. Probably pumpkin oatmeal and espresso.*
*I am a single girl five nights a week.**
**Yes, I know that's no excuse at my age.
I assume fudge and questionable peas?
too bad there wasn't something like leftover pizza in the fridge*
*sorry the gypsies ate your leftover pizza
I've been eating a ton of ramen lately. I'm training myself to eat cheaper. I try to buy the more expensive, all natural stuff, because in my mind this separates college OtB from grown up Otb.
Anyway, I cut up mushrooms & scallion, put in spinach, green beans, edamame, spices, whatever - I try to make this a healthy version (because I mostly deny myself meat during the week because I am a Flexitarian, because I do things from time to time).
So, yep. Ramen for dinner.
Probably pizza. I am feeling under motivated.
@averydoll - what was your dinner?
I'm punishing myself with a detox after weeks of gluttony (my excuse was Vegas, Niagara Falls, and moving house). So tonight I had an incredibly appetising romaine lettuce, cucumber, and celery salad, with a dressing of cracked pepper and lemon juice.
I made Shawn a lettuce, carrot, cheese and ranch dressing salad.
Not exactly an inspiring food night in our household tonight. I did fix Shawn some crab legs for lunch though.
I kind of cheated myself and had fried chicken, because I was lazy and it was fast. But tomorrow will probably be a grilled chicken salad or some talapia and vegtables or something.
I had hotwing chicken pizza, is that what it's called? Doesn't seem right, but it was good. Could not cook with munchkins at the door begging for candy nonstop.
oooooooooooo taco salad! I'm having that tomorrow. I has the ingredients to make it happen.
College OtB used to go to the dining hall and make taco salads that were probably 4000 calories. Who knew. The 90s were so innocent.
Pizza rolls and red wine.
The answer ended up being Trader Joe's organic cheese sandwich crackers (2 handfuls), a glass of "Scary Blackberry Ghoul-Aid", 2 slices of 5-year Widmer cheddar, and a spoonful of "energy mix" peanut butter. I'm omnivorous?
@Otis That's a great idea with the ramen. And hey, it's a real food in Japan and look at how well they're doing.
Jambalaya with broiled pork roast as the meat.
Sauteed baby bella mushrooms mixed with mashed potatoes and sour cream. It did not suck.
It's not dinner - but I just polished off a gigantic homemade taco salad.
I wish you had made this thread on Sunday. I had steak.
Beef. It's what's for dinner.
Im a foodie. I can't hardly read this post without wanting to come over and make you a beet salad and warm pasta primavera. Junk food is good too though, I'm just too foodie to write anything about junk food. Sorry. I know this is bad of me. It's an addiction.
I had a glazed donut this morning for brunch.
Anorexia til Christmas sounds good. With two days off for thanksgiving. I will eat until I'm sick and then eat more, like a true American.
When nobody's looking, I take shots of gravy.
Back when I ate meat (I'm occasionally testing the waters right now and only eat meat in SC or Europe), I would order sides of country gravy with everything. In public.
Best thing ever: grilled cheese with pickles dipped in a vat of country gravy. (Cue Homer Simpson drooling)
So far today I've had a dish of muesli and six cappuccinos.
Fuck I love country gravy.
Sweet potato tater tots and chicken strips.
Sweet potato fries with hot sauce, Amazing!
Fuck I love country gravy.
I may or may not have ordered chicken fried steak the other night purely because I wanted to eat something with gravy.
I am going to eat some serious fat tonight thanks to the turn this thread has taken.
Sauteed mushroom, peppers & onion sandwich with a side of fried plantains.
Sushi for lunch. Avocado and salmon. Tasted as bland as it sounds.
six cappuccinos.
So, like, one latte?
By "country" gravy, do you all mean the white kind?
Took some hamburger meat and added 3 cloves of mushed and cut garlic, set it simmering, sprinkle of salt and a splurt of dark soy, added in diced onions sprinkled liberally with cayenne, chopped portabella mushrooms about a cup full, one half large yellow pepper, green onions and celery and a few super thin round slices of carrot. Simmer til done then throw in frozen peas. It's winter now, it felt good going in.
Eating some beans. Beans are overrated. I mean, they're okay. Like rice, it comes down to what you do with it. I'm eating them with cheese and some kettle potato chips. Like non-hispanic nachos. Cracker nachos. White bread nachos. Honky nachos. Sort of like Frito pie, but Fritos are sort of hispanic. Like even more white trash Frito pie. Call me Honey Boo Boo. Just don't call me late for... no I can't do it. I won't do it.
^^^^ Dinner Winner, 11/7/2012
This is the week one of these fat, ingrateful cats gets turned into dinner. Jambalaya with slow-roasted feline mignon as the meat...
Garlic shrimp on rice pilaf that, somehow, was melted into cheese that didn't stick to the pan at TGI Friday's because my boyfriend and I are as Midwestern as you can fucking get.
Yep, the white kind. Not to be confused with sausage gravy, which is also white, and serves with morning biscuits.
hm, what's the cappuccino to latte ratio, J.Y? I do 2 double shots of espresso in a mug with 5 oz steamed milk, and had 3 of those.

I guess it varies, depending on the wetness of the cappi. 3 of those could be one big, stiff latte. 6 shots is a lot for one drink, but I've seen it done. Oh, double-shots, you said. That'd be a big-gulp latte. Illegal latte.
Gravy is one of those things I never liked until I learned that most of the gravy I'd eaten was crap. It can be wonderful, but instant industrial gravy is just sickening.
Country gravy and sausage gravy get my approval.
grilled cheese with pickles dipped in a vat of country gravy
Ermegherd. Get the drool bucket.
Instant gravy is unholy.
I had handmade ramen at a food cart across the street from work last night. It made my day.
crab risotto with sriracha.
Steak.
