3 days of food (and booze...)

Thursday

9:00 am – at home

ate: Vanilla Chobani Greek Yogurt with a cup of Nature’s Path Flax Multibran cereal and a banana.

drank: water

On Thursdays I run before school, meaning I eat breakfast a little later. Greek yogurt is the only yogurt that I eat because 1) it’s delicious 2) has lots of protein and keeps me full.

1:00 pm – at the Wilson library

ate: 1 organic golden delicious apple, 1 peanut butter clif zbar (like a mini clif bar)            

drank: 16 oz Dunn Bros coffee

I try not to buy food during the days in effort to save money, but always cave to buying coffee. This particular coffee seemed particularly justified because I didn’t have any with breakfast.

4:00 pm – in class

            ate: Food Should Taste Good brand olive tortilla chips.

These were also brought from home. They are addicting.

7:30 pm – at home

            ate: brown rice couscous and chickpeas with spinach, tomatoes, kalamata olives and feta.

            drank: water and a Great Divide Belgian IPA

I hadn’t had any vegetables all day, so I loaded them into this meal. Seriously, I wilted an entire bag of spinach. I feel a little bad buying tomatoes right now, because they are so out of season and are shipped from Mexico, but I really wanted some.

FRIDAY

5:30 am – at work

drank: 8 oz coffee

I drank this at Rustica Bakery, where I work. I got up at 4:30, but work was too busy to eat anything and I never feel right eating breakfast before 5 am.  A note about the coffee- it’s roasted locally in town, and all beans are bought directly from the farmers who cultivate them.

7:15 am – at work

            ate: Vanilla Chobani Greek Yogurt, walnuts, ½ cup of Nature’s Path Flax Multibran cereal.

            drank: 8 oz coffee

After being up since 4:30 and running around for the past near-3 hours, I’ve worked up an appetite for breakfast and finally have a chance to sit down and take a break. You may wonder why I bring my own breakfast when I work at a bakery, but let me assure you – you’d be sick of baked goods too after working in a bakery for 5 years.

11:00 am – at work

            ate – slice of Fruit and Nut bread, made with raisins and walnuts.

My midmorning snack.

1:30 pm – home

            ate: olive roll with some Manchego cheese, 1 organic golden delicious apple

            drank: water

I grabbed the roll from work.

7:00 pm – at restaurant

            ate: slices of 3 pizzas –

- with mushrooms and truffle cheese and truffle salt

- with broccoli rabe, feta, kalamata olives and almonds

- with butternut squash, spaghetti squash, taleggio and sage

arugula salad

            drank: 2 glasses of Tempranillo (red wine)

I went out to dinner to Pizzeria Lola with my Mom and my Sister-in-Law. This pizza is SO GOOD. We split the three, and I got to take home all the leftovers.

11:00 pm – at bar

            drank: 10 oz Lagunitas Gnarlywine

Out with boyfriend at Pracna, where they have a great happy hour every night. This beer (or barleywine, rather) was boo-oozy.

SATURDAY

8:30 am – at home

            drank: 16 oz coffee, water

I bought this coffee from Dunn Bros, again. One of the perils of living right next store to a Dunn Bros and also working at a bakery / coffee shop is that you never feel the need to buy beans and make coffee at home. 

11:30 am – at home

            ate: ½ cup oatmeal cooked with 1 banana, blueberries, cinnamon and salt, then added some honey almond butter at the end

            drank: herbal tea

This is my favorite food. Ever. And keeps me full for hours. The oats I used were organic old fashioned oats, and it was natural peanut butter.

4:00 pm – at home

            ate: 2 carrots

These were two real carrots, not two baby carrots. Baby carrots are such a waste.

5:30 pm– Kings Wine Bar

            drank: glass of garnacha

Met some friends for happy hour. After traveling through Spanish Wine Country last summer, they’re now the only type of red wine I want to drink.

7:30 pm– at boyfriend’s house

            ate: leftover Pizzeria Lola pizza (1 of each 3 types, just like last night’s dinner)

            drank: more wine!

Leftover pizza is always better. Surdyks was having their spring wine sale and I went and spent too much money.
