The last of the leftovers...

Meal: dinner (Mon 9/27)

From: my fridge

Cost: negligible

Location: my kitchen

So I have reached the end of my fabulous left overs... one last piece of Korean BBQ chicken... I melted some American cheese over some jasmine rice (I made a large batch of jasmine rice Sunday night, hopefully I can stretch it to cover Tuesday).

Korean BBQ Chicken over Jasmine Rice with 2 slices of American Cheese

Jasmine Rice with 1 fried egg with some unidentified fried rice.

Funny story about the fried rice, my mom intended to give me some kind of beef stew left over from her dinner out with friends, and instead gave me what must have been my brother's leftovers from dinner on Sunday. I ate it without question, because I will eat just about anything. If I am lucky the beef stew will still be in the fridge on Tuesday evening and I can eat that with my jasmine rice and the left over unidentified fried rice (but I am probably not that lucky).

Taste: yummy...
Conclusion: back to canned food...

Drink: a can of Fanta Orange Zero with ice.

True Leftovers for Lunch

Meal: lunch (Fri 9/24)

From: my fridge

Cost: sunk cost... > $0

Location: my kitchen

My plan worked! I intentionally made an excess amount of food for dinner so I could bring some for lunch today, and I managed to not eat everything leaving enough for a complete lunch. Mission accomplished!

Kalbi (Korean BBQ Beef)

Broccoli Dish (with tofu, garlic, and onions with some salt and pepper)

Kimchi Fried Rice

Unlike last night's dinner I felt like I needed some starch/carbs, so I added the remaining kimchi fried rice I had in my fridge.

Taste: still really really good.

Conclusion: so good I wish there was more kalbi...

Drink: a cold can of Coke Zero.

Leftovers for Lunch (again)

Meal: lunch (Thu 9/23)

From: my fridge

Cost: indeterminable (but all costs are already sunken, so it is getting close to 'free' now).

Location: my kitchen

My girl friend made me a lot of food last weekend, and I am reaping the benefits of that.

Beef with Reduced Tomatoes

Mashed Red Potatoes

Kimchi Fried Rice

Taste: simply great! I really love the beef with reduced tomatoes, one of my favorites.

Conclusion: my only complaint is I wish I had packed more.

Drank: a cold can of Coke Zero.

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.

Monday Lunch at the Office...

Meal: lunch (Mon 9/20)

Lazy Sunday Morning Breakfast

Meal: breakfast (Sun 9/19)

This is just something my girl friend quickly threw together for breakfast.
