Thursday, May 30, 2002

Lunch: One and a quarter of a giant cookie. With stuff in it. Gave me stomach trouble.
Psychology: Like a cinnamon roll, but chocolate. If we keep this up, psych will, in my diet blog, become an official mealtime.
Afternoon: some baked scallops, grapes. I'm afraid I didn't bake the scallops for long enough- they were still a bit chewy. I'm baking them more.
Dinner: Clam chowder, rice. Bok choy.
Afterwards: Some raisin crisps.

Lunch: Nothing.
"Party" in psychology: some cookies. I dunno. Like them upper crust cookies that come in tins. Except these came in a box. But you know what I mean. The cookie equivalent of assorted chocolates.
Afternoon: Slice of cake, sticky rice. Crispy raisin cookie. Tapioca drink. It smells kinda funny now.
Dinner: Rice, a piece of bitter melon, vegetable stew.

Lunch: I found out that the cafeteria didn't have hot water today (it never has hot water when I need it) so I sold my cuppa noodles for the outrageous price of $2 and bought myself a nasty cafeteria hamburger (I thought it was chicken until I opened it) and fries. Egh. This only cost $1.75, actually, so I finally paid back the library (media center my ass, it's still a library) with my shiny quarter.

"I'm too hungry to wait for dinner": Some crispy raisin cookies. A slice of cake. Like coffee cake but not coffee flavored, and made rainbow colored with food coloring.

Dinner: Stuffed tofu, spicy eggplant, steamed tofu with fish fondu type thing. Bok choy. Braised squid in a can. Wintermelon soup. You can tell that everything I ate in the last few days is being recycled into this night's cooking. Geez, I'm telling you this is why I (am I the only one) really don't find 'home cooking' as cracked up as people make it. I actually don't... really.. like... my mom's... cooking... egh.. *guilt*.
Monday 5/27

Lunch: Something known in Chinese as "oil rice." A lot like the "dirty rice" they sell at the school cafeteria, only less tasty. I'd forgotten how bad this stuff was.

"I'm too hungry to wait for dinner": Slice of cake. Cookies stolen by my mom from Bamboo Buffet ("Just because it's All You Can Eat doesn't mean you can't take it home!"), cup of ravioli.

Dinner: Stuffed tofu, wintermelon, watercress soup.
Sunday 5/26

Lunch: Pork and chives dumplings.

In the middle of the afternoon: Pineapple drink with little tapioca balls inside that you can suck up with a giantstraw from I Cream. Yayfor ice cream store certificates! My mom had bought $100 worth of groceries from the Oriental Market in Wintergreen so she got a certificate for this free drink from the ice cream parlor at the end of the block. I wonder what sort of reciprical deal I Cream has.

Dinner: Spicy eggplants, rice, spinach soup, spinach.
Saturday 5/25

Lunch: Chinese restaurant place. Fried shrimp cake, meatball, white wrap thing (cheung fun), another wrap thing in sauce with meat inside it, carrot paste, stir fried beef and noodles. Tea.

Dinner: Bamboo buffet. Stuffing inside a crab shell (which is probably totally crab-unrelated), fried rice, eel sushi rolls, roast pork tart, crab legs, lobster, brocolli, mushrooms, fries. I just thought it was interesting that there was a man at Bamboo who was making a big deal at the sushi bar of not eating crustaceans and eel. I wonder what that was all about- was he Jewish? Was he on some weird diet? Did he just not like insect-like seafood?
