A Radical Sabbatical

I'm away surfing

JBay until the 13th of July.

I will

on posts when I get back.

Dinner - 6/??

This was dinner a week or so ago. Vegetarian chili from Trader Joe's (which was much better than expected), corn on the cob & cornbread with honey on top. It was good.


In other news, apparently I'm the only last night's patty contributor that still eats...

6/4/7 - Summertime Dinner

Grilled cheese on homemade wheat bread with avocado, romaine lettuce & cilantro (both from my garden). Corn on the cob. Salad with cashews, dried cherries & avocado, with Annie's Goddess dressing.

I've recently realized how good fresh baked bread is. It's pretty easy to make (this one didn't turn out as well as the one Juliette & I made, but it was still good) and it's so good when it comes out of the oven. It makes the house smell good & I decided I should wear an apron when making it, so that's also exciting.

Favorite summertime foods:
corn on the cob (especially cooked on the bbq)
cherries
peaches/nectarines (especially on cereal, cheerios double especially)
otter pops/big sticks
lemon soy yogurt with frozen raspberries mashed in
macaroni salad

5/28 - Breakfast

Homemade wheat bread (that Juliette & I made the day before) toasted, with homemade jam (that Britton, Juliette & I made the week before). Can't beat that.

5/26 - Overboard

Saturday I hung out with Paul all day. Drew joined us for some evening activities. Our eating habits that day were out of control. It started with a donut around noon from the corner donut shop at 55th & Shattuck. After a few hours of going around town, we went to lanesplitters.

Here I got a zip tune up. A thin slice & a salad for $3.25. Not so bad. L.S's in the day time is pretty great. But for some reason it turns to garbage after 5 or 6pm (as I believe is apparent in Ryan's post about our L.S's dinner a few months back).

After lunch we rode to the liquor store & I got some ice cream & Paul got some weird gummy candy. We played Tony Hawk, went to Concord and came back to meet up with Drew. We went to Peet's but since I don't "get" coffee, I was along for the ride. After watching some of Asphalt Jungle, we decided to go to in'n'out.


This is where I went over the top. Grilled cheese without sauce, add grill onions. Plus fries. It's the best. After I ate it, Paul & Drew still had another burger/grilled cheese to eat. I mentioned that another one sounded good. They agreed & I purchased. However, as soon as I purchased, I immediately regretted it. 2 grilled cheese? What was I thinking? I wasn't hungry. But I ate it in the car on the way home. My stomach wasn't my #1 fan on Saturday, May 26th. We also ate this around 9pm & I went to bed 2 hours later. I had weird dreams & I blame my stupid amounts of food before bed.

5/27, Sunday, I tried to make up for it by eating a little bit better: cereal, cherries, homemade baked tortilla chips with homemade salsa, homemade bread & half a quesadilla. oh woops, I also ate ice cream. I need to cut this shit out. Seriously.

5/25 - Lunch

Every Friday I go to lunch with Marc. For some reason he absolutely LOVES the Telegraph/campus area. After working on campus for 2.5 years, I'm pretty over it. But he will never be. We always run into weird UCB girls he knows or weird hip kids that he talks to. He loves Blakes, the pasta shop in the Asian ghetto (specifically because they have pictures and he only likes to eat at places with pictures), but most of all, Quiznos. At lunch he tells me some weird stories about the past weeks adventures that never disappoint. Today was what I expect out of lunch with Marc. Quiznos & mind explosions.

Marc always gets some sort of chicken sandwich with bacon, white cheese, white bread and some white dressing/sauce that looks pretty gross.

Apparently Quiznos is good if you eat meat, but I don't. Therefore, I'm left with a veggie sandwich with mediocre guacamole and some vegetables. I don't like cheese on sandwiches or mushrooms in general so I'm left with wheat bread, guacamole, lettuce, tomato & olives. Great. Really, really, great.

Today I got the usual, veggie on wheat. I ordered a small because I was going on a bike ride after & didn't want to feel gross. But they gave me a bigger one accidentally. I ate the first half & picked apart the second. (Side note: it didn't matter in the end that i ate most of it. I fell off my bike in west Oakland & retreated home covered in dirt and some bruises with a temporarily busted bike).

The last picture is Marc featuring his white sandwich. He's so happy. Quiznos makes him happy. Since it was our last lunch for the summer (he's moving to Montreal) we/he had to go there.

5/25 - Breakfast

I eat this every day at work. Cereal with a banana (preferably an under ripe one with a tint of green to the peel), plain soymilk & cereal. Usually it's a mix of lots of cereals (rice krispies, corn flakes, honey oat stuff, grape nuts trail mix, etc.) but today was just honey oat flake things. Not sure what it's called but it's good. I like cereal at work a lot.
