1o*o9 Breakfast Munching and Snoring… / ok ok & Daily Munching

Another forced breakfast. But not as forced as yesterday… AND I’m eating it quicker. I need the caffeine to hit me ASAP tho…

1 tbs Chia Seeds
1 6 oz. FAGE 0% Total
1 cup GoLean
1 lg Black Coffee (today’s Green Mountain flavor is Chocolate Raspberry Truffle.. mmm)
Cinnamon

Chobani said they were sending me a box of samples and I’m supposed to recieve them today so I’m excited!!! I’ve seen them sold at Sel De La Terre’s Boulangerie but I never tried one.

I wanna make my own cereal @ [me] & goji… and I’ve always been tempted to buy some youbars… cuz I like to go on there and make my own combos hahaha but I’m scared I won’t like them… :] Anyone tried them before?

I’m too exhausted to attempt to function right now….

I WAS STARVING LAST NITE. This always happens. And then I wake up today with no appetite. Blah! But anyways I couldn’t wait long before I ated (hehe) my ROCKY ROAD caramel apple. But TOTAL WEAKSAUCE…. only a few puffs of marshmallows on it :T But it was tasty…

Caramel Apples are evil, sweet sweet beautiful evil ♥

And for no reason, I haven’t been hungry at all I’ve been munching on a big bag of grapes. SOO juicy and yummy, I love them super crisp & sweet!

Ugh I definitely need to go for a jog today…

Caramel Apples are always so filling. Some days I can go on the WHOLE day without food after eating one but work is stressful…

PEACH during my meeting :] (haha conference call from my desk.. usually most ppl are WAH on Thurs+Fridays…. and we have a lot of ppl from outside of Boston…)

My appetite has been SO off lately :[ And my tummy has been hurting. I duno if it's from too much squash anymore.. who knows :[ Bummers. I have had no motivation to eat anything particular while I work so I just munch on fruits all day long.... altho Clif ("Dora" to my "Emon" teehee) has gotten me to want PEACHIE O's today :] That’s all I can think about. I’ve stopped craving my usual sorts of candies (twizzlers, skittles, swedish fish, sour patch kids) and was reminded today of my LOVE of Peachie O’s and the fact that I haven’t had them in like over half a YEAR!!!!!!!

But since I didn’t bring ANY candy to work (gasp now) except for fruity mentos and a sour lemonaide super blow pop (which I strangely haven’t been in the mood for) I ended up eating my 1/2 of a pomelo :] that I kept bringing back and forth from home to work this entire week.

I realized that I didn’t really eat that much today…. and the only reason why I feel so “dense” is cuz of that apple. Worth. Every. Calorie. Always :] Altho I’m disappointed that the Rocky Road one wasn’t as tasty as I thought/hoped it’d be. I’ll stick with my PB Bombs & Monsters still from now on… Apple Pie is good too… :] Super Sugar-Cinnamony, but a bit TOO sugary. (wait is that possible for me?)

I’m trying to eat “healthier” can you tell?

OK. Onwards, work is almost over and I duno what to do for dinner tonite. Last nite’s dinner was delicious but cost me 70$ for amazingly delicious fresh sushi & Hamachi Kama. Today I need to work on clearing out my fridge :] So I’m guessing sweet potato planks/thick chips (haha) MMMM…. and something with mushrooms!!!!

STRANGE FACT!!! My dad LOVES asparagus, my mom HATES it and she hates it even more cuz I told her that it makes your pee smell and ever since I told her and she noticed it was true she’s hated it. EVERY WEEKEND, my dad wants asparagus. EVERY WEEKEND my mom buys TONS of asparagus for him. EVERY Thursday/Friday I END UP cooking and eating all the asparagus. I don’t get it. I mean I like asparagus but dood. So random. Yes I have sexy smelling pee.

Also, I make lists of foods I want to get that I read up on and hear of…. :] So anything new and awesome you want me to try? I’m pretty adventurous and will try everything at least twice!!!! :] But if you could introduce me to some new ingredients and perhaps point me in a good direction or two (as in recipes and preperations) that would be awesome!!!

The only thing I have on my list so far is to buy more spaghetti squash, and those LOBSTER MUSHROOMS I’ve been DYING to try for the past 2 weeks that I’ve seen them. I finally looked them up and while they’re pricey, they’re yummy so probably worth at least trying. I was just scared that they were gonna be FREAKY NASTY and I’d gag and puke. HAHAHA.. :]

Still haven’t used my bulgar yet. And I have tons of green + red lentils… and more wheatberries to make with my food. Doop dee dooo… I’ve been exhausted this week and not feeling well so my appetite and enthusiasm for cooking has been lacking. BUT I do wanna play with my food scale some.. so tonite’s the nite :] BESIDES. Did you see my fridge pics from yesterday. COOK COOK COOK. I already miss squash.

I wanna nap when I get home but then I always get bursts of energy and then I go running or something. Or play with my puppy… Or… randomly make pancakes and bake snacks.. HAHAHAA :] My mom hates that. She says I’m making her fat. OK OK OK.. enough rambling :] I’ll blog again tonite after dinner + snackings!!! I might eat one of my LARABARS on the way home from work :] I’m not hungry but I wanna chew…

Light on the Dinner, Heavy on the Snacking

First off… I thought you guys would enjoy seeing a pic of my new food scale :]

My kiwi is 106 grams.

Thought I’d show you a quick snippit of my fridge… SOO much stuff, this is nearing empty too :] I go grocery shopping on Saturdays or Sundays, OVERstuff it but somehow by Friday or Saturday it’s empty again…

See all the apples, oranges, SHROOMS, some pre-cut butternut… pineapple… I always have TONS of fruit handy… tomatoes, veggies…. yogurt…

Chicken stock, Almond Milk… Kimchi *loves* Sake, Korean Hot Paste… UMMM, bacon…. different kinds of hot sauce (which reminds me I should show you my spices and sauces :] My pride truffle oils and EVOOs… millions of different kinds of hot sauces/spices :] HAR HAR… Ugh I see mayo but I don’t like mayo, it’s not mine… haha and it’s been there unopened for ages…

Some Squash & a pumpkin… yet to be eaten :]

DINNER WASSSS… *cue music*
Oishii Too

Oshinko Su ( Pickled radish)

Sashimi – Top Left Clockwise:
Scallop, Baby Hamachi, Squid, Super White Tuna and my beloved Salmon!!!!

Hamachi Kama (collarbone/cheek)

As I was about to start eating, Dior was going nutty and decided to stare at where her bowl should be. We both eat dinner around 7ish usually and today it was a lot later than usual.

So I fed her before I dug in….

MMMM, my first time tasting Baby Hamachi, it’s not as fatty as the regular Hamachi, I really liked it :]  The super white tuna was soooo fresh and tasty today :] I prefer it over all the other kinds of toro… altho fatty tuna is pretty good too..  SALMON is still my fav tho.. altho I didn’t enjoy it AS much today *strange*

The Hamachi Kama was SOOOOOO good. And it’s so worth it too, they actually gave me TWO pieces, I’ve only been to places where I get one puny one but these were both delicious and tender and meaty!!!! SOO good, I cleaned them off and sucked each part dry. I just didn’t eat the skin just a nibble or two… wasn’t feeling it today… it was tasty but there was too much to eat.

I also had some, of course, hot green tea with my dinner :] I really craved some hiya yakko & ohitashi today but I’m glad I didn’t get it… Cuz I ALWAYS get them… next time :] MMM bonito flakes!!!! And I’m really glad I tried the BABY Hamachi…. drool* Really good… and the Hamachi Kama… best appetizer ever!!!

And then, also OF COURSE, I had desserts w/ a yummy cold glass of Vanilla Almond Milk :]

Rice Krispy Treat *dip*

HUGE Coconut Macaroon *dip*

My last Sel De La Terre Brownie *dip* It said it was gonna last til 10/13 but.. eh I don’t want it to sit THAT long….

My mom decided to cut my Mamey Sapote but it wasn’t fully tender/ripe yet… so not sweet or creamy enough.. I think we’re just gonna turn it into a smoothie for breakfast :]

And then I went downstairs to watch R-Point..

After awhile I got hungry again…
SOOOOO….

9 Preserved Plums

3 Date Cakes (I LOOOVE the walnuts in them)

CHEW CHEW CHEW.. It takes me awhile to eat one cuz I just take a little nibble of a nut/date and chew chew chew, I get really upset when I run out of nuts…

I WANT ANOTHER ONE SOOO BADDDD >_<; But if I continue eating them I might as well just be eating larabars instead….
