Dinner with the Yankee game on MY9.

Meal: dinner (Tue 9/21)
From: my fridge
Cost: indeterminable*
Location: my kitchen

I got back from the gym and I was starving. Also, it was one of those rare nights that the Yankees game was on network TV (unfortunately I do not have the YES network). So I threw some of the left overs in the microwave and switched on the game. For people that do not follow baseball, the Yankees are fighting to stay in first place and Tuesday night there were playing against the Rays, the second place team. It was an exciting game, and lucky for me I had a good dinner to go with it.

Coq Au Vin (chicken in wine sauce)
Mashed Red Potatoes (made from scratch)
Pork with Tofu Rounds
Kimchi Fried Rice

Taste: the 'leftovers' still taste awesome.
Conclusion: Yankees won, so no complaints.

Drink: a nice tall glass of ice water (Brita filtered).

*I paid just under $50 for a crap load of groceries, not sure how much of that is in this meal.

A Delicious Dinner

Meal: dinner (Sat 9/18)
From: my fridge
Cost: indeterminable, from the same allotment of groceries my girlfriend selected and I paid for.
Location: my kitchen

My girlfriend decided to try something new so she tried her hand at a French dish, 'coq au vin', she read about. Basically it is chicken cooked in a wine sauce with carrots, onions, and mushrooms. To complete the meal she made some jasmine rice and pork with tofu rounds.

Coq Au Vin (chicken with wine) [French], jasmine rice, pork with tofu rounds [Korean].

Taste: I don't know how to describe the chicken other than F**KING awesome!


Dessert: apple pie with butter pecan ice cream.

My girlfriend decided to go all out and make an apple pie from scratch.
