Wednesday Dinner = A Pile of Leftovers

Meal: dinner (Wed 12/8)
From: my fridge
Cost: N/A
Location: my kitchen

As usual on Wednesday I went to the gym after work to hit the weights. I returned home starving, but with the understanding that there would probably be nothing in the fridge that I could quickly make. Fortunately for me, I had some leftover bulgogi that I had cooked up the night before for lunch. There was also some brown rice leftover and some super greasy Chinese vegetables/string beans. So I threw all of that into the microwave and had my first plate of dinner.

Bulgogi
String Beans
Assorted Chinese Vegetables
Brown Rice
(Taste: okay)

After quickly consuming my first plate of dinner I realized that would not be enough to satisfy my hunger, especially after going to the gym. My parents were cooking some food, so I went and did something else until it was ready.

Chinese Chicken/Mushrooms
Chinese broccoli
Brown Rice
(Taste: pretty good, but extremely oily)

Conclusion: not the best meal but I was not starving by the time I went to bed.

Drink: plain old ice water (Brita filtered). I wonder sometimes, do people use other brands of filters? What is the percentage? I would guess that Brita probably has a pretty large market share. I have lived in the Midwest and the East Coast and Brita is pretty popular in both locations.

Homemade Korean Food

Meal: lunch (Wed 12/8)
From: my fridge/freezer
Cost: N/A
Location: my kitchen

My girlfriend had given me some raw bulgogi (marinated), so I cooked that up. I also had some frozen organic string beans, which I boiled up and I also made some brown rice. (I need to save some money!)

Bulgogi
Organic String Beans
Brown Rice
(The brown stuff on top of the rice is just smaller pieces of bulgogi left in the frying pan after cooking.)

Taste: it was pretty good, but I think if would have tasted a lot better if I had eaten it fresh the night before.
Conclusion: I do not think I packed enough food.

Drink: water from the office water cooler (Poland Spring).

Kind of Stuffness

Leftovers from Dinner

Meal: lunch (Tue 10/5)
From: my fridge
Cost: (to me) free
Location: my kitchen

I had some leftovers from dinner, in fact, my meal was identical to my dinner the night before: bulgogi and Korean side dishes.



Taste: still delicious.
Conclusion: I like Korean food, and I like beef...


Drink: a cold can of Coke Zero.

Korean Food!

Meal: dinner (Mon 10/4)
From: my fridge
Cost: (to me) free
Location: my kitchen

I got home after a couple of hours of playing basketball and I was starving. My girlfriend had been nice enough to give me a container of beef marinated in Korean BBQ sauce (bulgogi). I still had a few Korean side dishes left as well. I cooked up the beef in a frying pan and dinner was ready:


I was too lazy to make rice and too hungry. The beef was very thinly sliced and cooked up fast, making rice would have taken over 30 minutes, so I decided to skip the rice. Fortunately, the beef and side dishes was just enough to stave off starvation.

Taste: GREAT!
Conclusion: a nice reprieve from the crap I normally have for dinner on a weekday.

Drink: ice water
