Delicacies of Destitution

7/20/11

Pretty hungry and sleepy in the morning so I grabbed a cup of coffee and donut from Northwest.  LauLau brought me a muffin as usual for breakfast later on, and also a lot of sandwiches for lunch (and dinner).  I forgot to take a picture of lunch again…but I believe I ate a tomato + chicken salad sandwich and a chickwich burger thing - both of which were pretty good.  I saved the last for dinner, which was a burger with a slice of cheese and three patties.  Hopefully I will have gotten all of the protein I need from that.  

Didn’t really eat much today so I guess not much to report.  Food bloggin is teh hard….

Lots of pictures!  Didn’t get breakfast but LauLau brought me the usual sandwich and muffin from annenberg around 1030 AM.  I ate lunch at 12, but forgot to take a picture of it so I took a picture of the remains.  I bought Northwest food: a cheeseburger and a V8 drink because apparently V8 has a full day’s worth of vegetables and I definitely don’t get that.  It wasn’t very satisfying so I also ended up buying soda.  Around 3 PM I got pretty hungry again (and I was fairly tired) so I bought a blueberry pop tart from the vending machines.  Decided to go to Qdoba for dinner since it’s more “on the way home” than subway, and bought the mango taco salad, which was not bad, but not terribly satisfying either.  After practice, LauLau gave me a chicken sandwich from annenberg and I also asked Charl if I could eat one of his poptarts (which he also said yes to).  Ate lots of small things…not bad I guess.  I’m still hungry though :(

rations basically nonexistant by now…was hungry but didn’t have anything to eat for breakfast so I drank a cup of hot water.  LauLau brought me another annenberg breakfast, which is basically what I live for nowadays.  Forgot to take a picture of lunch but Ms. TF bought me a cheeseburger.  Also forgot to take a picture of dinner but that was another subway sandwich.  JimmyJamz  brought me two bananas at practice - Droopid ate one, and I ate the other.  Got extremely hungry around 11 PM, and ate a bowl of ramen…

About 4 weeks left including this week and getting a little worried…

7/15/11 + 7/16/11

It’s been a while since my last update - been kinda busy lately not eating and whatnot.  I’ll be combining Friday and Saturday into this post, but I forgot to take pictures of anything on Sunday, so I’ll just describe it by text and you can imagine what it would look like (which is great fun).  

On Friday, I started out my day eating some leftover pizza that Big Richard brought back the day before.  It wasn’t bad.  LauLau brought me some Annenberg breakfast food as well, so life was good.  For some reason, I kept getting extremely sleepy, so I decided to buy a medium coffee from Northwest (as opposed to the small) but that decision ended up with me starting to feel slightly sick from all the caffeine?  I went to lunch around 12 hoping to ease my stomach and ate leftover fried rice from the Thursday Le’s dinner.  The rice left me relatively unsatisfied, though, so I bought a bottle of fresca in hopes that it would help me last until TGIF, where I could eat some more pizza.  I did go to TGIF and eat pizza, but I didn’t take a picture of it.  I was still hungry after that, so I left lab early and went to Chutney’s…which I also forgot to take a picture of.  

On Saturday, I decided I would eat some of the leftover pizza for breakfast, but to my horror I found there was only one slice left.  I went to a jam that day, so I ended up not having time to eat anything else.  I don’t like to eat much before I dance, so I ended up going through most of the day on just a slice of pizza.  However, after the jam (around 5ish), we all went to Bon Chon for a post-jam dinner.  We ordered the 40 piece wings to split among the 5 of us (laulau, seal god, fin, sophy, me) and I also ordered the house fried rice as well.  My extreme hunger allowed me to consume a decent amount of chicken as well as the entire plate of fried rice, and I finally felt satiated.  

On Sunday, I was supposed to get dim sum at noon with old people (Yohskie Bear, Curbis, Hasan, etc) but I got too hungry around 10 AM, and ended up eating a footlong BLT subway.  I still went to dim sum and ate a decent amount though (have to stock up when you can).  For dinner, I went to subway again with JimmyJamz, Ms. TF, MikeTheZhang.  I was still kinda full from lunch (also feeling a little sick for some reason) so I only got a 6 in. BMT.  Afterwards though, we stopped by the Bastille Day festival and got a free cupcake which was delicious.

My meals seem much shakier this coming week than they did for the last.  I hope for good food again, but you never know…

Unfortunately there’s not much to say again, since I ate two large meals instead of a lot of little snacks like usual buttttt…..

I started the day off with a pop tart(no picture) purchased from the vending machines downstairs on my way to work.  It was overpriced but I was hungry so it had to do.  I stayed at work for about an hour, and then Senora Kat took me to the aquarium as a guest for some work party she had.  Free aquarium trip + free food?  I’m in.  We started off the aquarium trip with a free lunch which was amazing and I thoroughly stuffed myself.  Among items consumed: two hot dogs, pasta, tomatoes, lettuce, watermelon.  Delicious.  I left the aquarium and got back to work around 4 PM where I stayed in lab until 7 to make up for my lackadaisical-ness.  Grabbed dinner afterwards at Le’s where I had the vermicelli + spring rolls + beef? Quite tasty and fulfilling.

This week remains a good week for eats.  I hope it stays this way forever…

Woke up hungry, so I decided to just go ahead and eat the potatoes I was saving for lunch.  Since I finally had the opportunity to eat breakfast, I made myself the last cup of instant coffee and had a nice morning meal.  I probably should have heated the potatoes up more, but they were mostly alright.  A few of the cold potato pieces tasted kinda funky, but it was tasty in general.  

I was a little worried what I was going to do for lunch, but LauLau offered to steal annenberg food for me, so we did that instead.  She ended up bringing me back two quaesadillas (spellling?), a bunch of flatbread sandwiches, and some beef macaroni.  Eating the quaesadillas and one sandwich was enough for me, and I topped off my meal with a nice round apple that resembled Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc.  

For dinner, Mr. JimmyJamz brought me to Dudley house where I was able to eat to my heart’s content.  I believe I ate a piece of chicken, some corn, cauliflower, rice, a piece of cornbread, and my first glass of (regular)milk in a month or so.  It was so exciting I almost forgot to take a picture of it, until reminded by Mr. Booger.  I ate Dudley’s last banana, and left fairly satisfied.  

I got pretty hungry around 11 after session though, and ended up eating the beef macaroni I had hoped to eat for breakfast the next day.  It was a good beef macaroni, so I guess I don’t really regret anything, but I’m hungry at the time of writing this blog post (the next morning) and I wish I had something to eat…

I’ve been eating pretty well these past few days…perhaps the food gods are smiling upon me…

7/9/11 + 7/10/11

Like I said last week, it’s really hard to keep updated on this food blog during the weekends simply because I don’t carry a camera around with me very often.  That being said, I have an excellent array of friends (Mr. Booger, Mr. JimmyJamz, Ms. TF) who are good at reminding me to take pictures of my food/taking it for me.

Saturday morning, JimmyJamz and I attempted to buy delicious subway sandwiches for breakfast/lunch but alas we found that subway is not open at 7 AM.  Instead, we went to dunkin donuts where I ordered a sandwich of some sort.  I forget what kind of sandwich it was but I’d assume it probably had cheese, egg, and some kind of meat in it (bacon?).  Forgot to take a picture of it, and quickly consumed it.  I traveled to six-flags with nublets that day, and was able to be distracted by rides and people enough to ignore the angry protests my stomach staged.  I did however find that my swim trunks are dangerously loose now.  Perhaps as the summer goes on I will be less and less capable of going to the beach/swimming…

Anyway, I ate lunch at some point in the day - time unknown because I didn’t have anything electronic on me.  Unfortunately six-flags food is all very expensive, so I toyed with the idea of just not eathing lunch.  However, I decided that if I didn’t eat lunch there was a very high possibility of me passing out given the heat + turbulent amusement park rides, so I ended up going big and buying the 14 dollar “Rocket Double” which included a huge hamburger, fries, and onion rings.  In fact, the food was so big, I was hoping that I’d be able to get away with eating just that for lunch and dinner.  The food was pretty salty, and Ms. TF offered me half of her apple, so I took it.  The apple (bought in Chinatown) was pretty big…about the size of my fist actually, and my fist is pretty big (and manly and covered in the blood of my enemies).  It was a good filling lunch, and in a way I almost felt like those 14 dollars were actually worth it.  I hadn’t brought a camera with me to six flags, but luckily Mr. Booger reminded me to take pictures of my food for the food blog and Ms. TF took the pictures for me (the pictures are also much better than the ones i take…hmm…).  I shared some snacks with Ms. TF and JimmyJamz later on the way home, but other than that I ended up having my next meal around 930 at Subway where I ordered the meatball sub.  Didn’t have a camera so I didn’t get to take a picture of it but it was quite tasty and I was actually extremely full after just half.  I guess that 14 dollars really worked out?  I went to Sir Concept’s place afterwards for a bday party and ate a few pretzels and chips which I should’ve had pictures for but Yoh has yet to send them to me.  I went to sleep happy and full.

The next day, I skipped breakfast and went to Chutney’s for lunch around 1.  I forgot to take pictures of my food again, but I got the noodle bowl with lamb and mint chutney.  It was very good and not terribly expensive.  Mr. Booger had left half of a subway in our fridge, so I proceeded to eat that as well (and forget to take a picture of it).  LauLau and the Seal God came over around 3 PM and since I had given the other half of my meatball sub to the Seal God, he brought me some thai rice or something which was pretty tasty.  Later on Senora Kat came over and fried potatoes which were super good.  I ate them with ramen and I became extremely full again.  

This weekend was a good weekend for eats.  I hope the week will be just as bountiful.
