Monday Night Football!

When I got to work on Monday, I had fully intended to go to the gym after work. However, by the end of the day I was completely exhausted and it was pouring out. So I decided to go home and relax, at which time I realized it was Monday night and the first week of the 2010 football season, Monday Night Football on ESPN! I am not a Jets or Ravens fan, but I had a a player on each team starting in my fantasy team this week, so I had vested interest in the game. Luckily there was a rain delay (never seen one of those in football before, but okay) so I had time to rummage around in my fridge before kick off.


Meal: snack (Mon 9/14)
From: my fridge (dip from Costco)
Cost: [to me] FREE!
Location: my kitchen (Costco in Brooklyn)

I felt like having something that would be appropriate to snack on while watching some football, and I think I found it. There was some Spinach Dip in my fridge, and some organic wholewheat bread.

The dip was really good (probably because it was really unhealthy, but I did not care).

I threw the bread in the toaster on high, to give it some nice crunchiness.

Taste: GREAT! I wanted more but I did not want to die of a heart attack or something.

Conclusion: using the spinach dip more like spread on the toast = an awesomely good snack.

Drink: I mixed some orange juice (Tropicana - Pure Premium, Calcium+Vitamin D, with Lots of Pulp) and sparkling water (Pellegrino). (Sorry no pictures.)

Remarks: the food was good, but the game was ugly, I felt like I was watching a replay of the Redskins-Cowboys game from Sunday Night.

Yellow Eggs And Ham

So I woke up early enough today to have a more proper breakfast. Nothing special, a fried egg with a piece of fried ham with wholewheat toast with some ketchup for flavor.

Meal: breakfast (Thu 9/2)
From: my fridge
Cost: still free for me!
Location: my kitchen

Not much to write here, just something to get me going for the day.

Taste: nothing to write home about, but good enough.
Conclusion: better than my normal breakfast of one granola bar.

Drink: some water, although I wish I had a nice big glass of orange juice.

Midnight Snack Made of Throw Aways

So my "frozen" dinner was not filling enough, so I needed a little extra. I found a bag of bread in my fridge with only the ends left (the throw aways). I was not sure how old the bread was, but it did not look moldy, but for good measure I toasted it with the hope that the heat would kill anything bad. Also bread from the fridge is usually soggy, so the toasting dried it right up.

 

 I found some forest berry preserve in the fridge, not sure what the difference between jelly, jam, and preserve is, but it all tastes good.

I found some Skippy creamy peanut butter to complete my snack.
