Hungry T's Eating Journal

Friday Nov 11, 2005 - Playing catch-up

My, what a busy week. Here is a quick rundown of my last several meals...

Friday, Nov 11, breakfast - Toast, NPR, Coffee, water, blogging.
Although Alma has chicken in her bowl, she is chewing on the paper bag I take to work with me. She has this funny habit of biting and ripping off small pieces of paper bag, and then throwing them down. I have no idea if other cats do this, or if it is just her, and although it cracks me up, it makes a huge mess.

Thursday, Nov 10, dinner - I am feeling a little under the weather. I decide it is pizza and beer night. I hit the local 'take and bake' spot on the corner of Denver and Portland. Large Pepperoni. I have Lagunitas at home. I missed the latest episode of Lost Wednesday when I we at the neighborhood meeting, but luckily, they now offer Lost on iTunes. I downloaded it while still at the office and watched it at home while eating my dinner. Later, I watched 3 episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, a cartoon with a superhero milkshake, french fries, and meatball (tastefully named meatwad).

Thursday, Nov 10, lunch - no lunch meat at home this morning, therefore, no sandwich. Dockside salad will do the trick. I call down and have them whip me up a large chef salad, hold the olives, hold the dressing. As I am about to leave to pick it up, a truck arrives from California, and as I am the only forklift driver at the office, I have to unload it. Lady E. is nice enough to pick up my salad as I work. Slim E., Lady E., and I eat lunch together. Wine was Telmo Rodriguez' 2002 M2 Ribera del Duero. Quite nice, for a tough vintage in Spain.

Thursday, Nov 10, breakfast - Out of coffee beans, so went to Stumptown on SW 3rd. Bought a large cup to go, and a half pound of Guatemalan beans, unground. Considering buying a better grinder. My friend S.H. has a great grinder that costs around $120.00. It is completely impressive, although I'm sure she doesn't use all 12 grind settings.

Wednesday, Nov 9, dinner - after the neighborhood association meeting, which ran last, I walked home and heated up some Tortilla Soup that I had thawed from the freezer. Eaten with tortilla chips and store bought salsa. Whenever I eat store bought salsa, it is always the fresh kind, never in a jar, unrefrigerated. No matter, it is never as satisfying as homemade, and I always swear I will just make my own from now on. It's not that hard, and certainly doesn't take too long. Why do I keep buying it pre-prepared?
