BREAKFAST

(from the breakfast card around the corner from my office)

Onion bagel with cream cheese ($2.50 with a large coffee)

Taste: acceptable, would have been better toasted.

LUNCH

(my girlfriend packed me something to bring to the office)

Some Korean side dishes with white rice.

Taste: pretty good, not too flavorful, but not bland either, definitely filling.

DINNER

(at home)

My girlfriend gave me a container of fried rice she made, I have half for dinner.

Taste: delicious, light and not too heavy.

My parents fried some frozen dumplings, I had some for dinner as well.

Taste: greasy and will be the reason I have a heart attack.

CART ME!

Meal: breakfast (Fri 10/8)

From: the breakfast cart around the corner from my office

Cost: $2.50

Location: Lower Manhattan

I woke up a bit later than I planned to, so I had no time to make breakfast, so I went to the breakfast cart again!

Onion Bagel with Cream Cheese

Taste: no complaints, I got what I expected.

Conclusion: a nice filling breakfast.

Drink: a large coffee with milk and sugar.

Budget Breakfast (Filling Edition)

Meal: breakfast (Tue 9/14)

From: my fridge

Cost: [to me] FREE!

Location: my kitchen

Yesterday, one granola bar simply was not enough for breakfast. I am on morning dog walking duty these next two weeks, so I was up earlier than usual and had time to scrounge around the fridge for breakfast.

My dog, looking at some food I put on a table.

(NO! I did NOT eat my dog!)

I found a little cream cheese (reduced fat in case anyone cares) left in my fridge as well as an everything bagel. I threw the bagel in the toast (to get ride of the fridge induced moisture of course) then lathered it up with what was left of the cream cheese (leaving me with an empty container).

Toasted Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese

(I think the bagel was Costco)

Taste: the bagel had a nice aroma to it from the toasting. I liked everything on the everything bagel except some weird spice on it, but I got used to its taste after a few bites.

Conclusion: a filling breakfast to give me energy to get to lunch.

Drink: coffee with half & half and Sweet'N Low.

From: my office's communal kitchen

Cost: N/A

Location: Lower Manhattan

Undetermined brand of coffee that was left in the pot this morning at work (made by an intern).
