Erica's food.
I can't remember anything I ate Monday, except that I baked some peach streusel and we ate that.
Tuesday I woke up before my alarm and puked, and I don't really know why. So I ate a lot of tea and toast yesterday. Justin made some bbq chicken in our crock pot and I ate some of that too.
Today I had an English muffin with butter and sugar-free Instant Breakfast for breakfast. I forgot to eat lunch because I had to put my newly-hatched cutworms onto their diet. When I got home Justin had just finished making Manwich sammiches, so I had a sammich and a beer. I'll probably eat something else (maybe some ice cream) because I like to have a snack before bed. I have a hard time sleeping when I'm hungry.

No photos today
Breakfast: 8am
I ran out of wheat bread, so I baked up a piece of the par-baked stuff I got from Trader Joe's (maybe about 2-3 servings of bread according to the package - 60 calories per serving, one carb exchange) and used that as my carbs. I also added a piece of cheese to the egg whites. It was delicious. I also finally had a banana.
Lunch: 11:50
My larger than normal breakfast was a good idea, since my insane day did not allow for a proper lunch. Instead, I grabbed two cookies from my apartment complex when I was paying rent and ate them in the car on the way back.
Snack: 4pm
My left-overs from the lunch yesterday, which included one of those rye/wheat roll things
Dinner: 8-9pm
The rest of that par-baked bread (3-4 servings) with some olive oil and balsalmic vinegar and a salmon roll I bought from Trader Joe's, stuffed with some kind of a crab meat based stuffing.

Celebrating 40 Years
Breakfast: Toast with egg whites, coffee
Lunch: My co-worker's 40th anniversary with the company lunch
A roll with butter, times 1.5
I had a prawn, a crab cake, and a little pile of calimari from this plate
I ate less than two thirds of this dish, taking the rest home for the snack later, or, as it turned out, the next day. I had about two thirds of a glass of chardonnay with the meal too. It was Seafood Risotto. This photo looks like the dish was small, it wasn't.
This was the creme brule that I didn't eat, since I forgot to photograph it before I started eating.
And no, she isn't making any retirement plans
Dinner: At the UU meeting, I had lots of celery, grape tomatoes, and some broccoli with that veggie dip, two mini scones, two lady fingers, and a piece of peach pie. I thought it was apple, and didn't want any, but I decided to have a piece when I learned it was peach. It isn't that I don't like apple pie, but I realized that having grown up with lots of apple things at home, anything apple just seems, well, too ordinary to me.

Erica's food, August 3rd.
Breakfast: English muffing with butter and a banana. Diet Pepsi Max.
Lunch/Dinner: I grazed all evening. Tomato and fresh mozzarella cheese salad sprinkled with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Justin made some hummus and we ate that with pita bread while we watched Mad Men. I ate some blueberry-flavored shredded wheat cereal with milk. Beer.

Erica's food, Texas Edition.
Breakfast, 7:15 am: We ate the free breakfast at the hotel. I tried to eat a bagel with cream cheese and a banana, but it was all kind of gross. So mostly I had apple juice.
Snack, 10:00: While driving to different fields we had string cheese and Cinnabon coffee in a can.
Lunch, 12:30: We went out with the crew we were working with to a bar/diner kind of place in a little town. Justin had beef bbq and I had the appetizer sampler. I got taquitos, fried mushrooms, and something called Texas toothpicks. These are jalapeños and onions sliced very thin and fried.
Dinner, 7:00: We wanted to eat Mexican food because we figured it would be better down there. All the Mexican restaurants were closed (was it a holiday?) and Justin was unwilling to visit one of the food stands across from the meat packing plant, but we found a bodega selling some dinner stuff to go. So I got a chili relleno and Justin got a chili rojo torta and some Coke with actual sugar instead of corn syrup. Very good and very inexpensive.

A very colorless day
Breakfast: 7 or 7:30
It was typical breakfast, no fruit, and I had a slice of cheese with it
Lunch 1: 11:30
Flatbread eaten before Toastmaster's
Lunch 2: 1
Tofu and some Chinese style pasta (can't remember the name)
Snack: 4 or something
A cookie and then string cheese. The last time I had only a cookie for a snack, I felt really depressed at the end of the day, due to the sugar rush, then the crash. I hoped to prevent that today and did.
Dinner or whatever: After 8
Two tequila sunrises, some fried calamari, and nachos at the Happy Hour

Erica's food, July 29.
Today we drove to Texas for collecting bugs. I always eat terribly when we travel.
Breakfast, 8:30: Grits with American cheese, Carnation Instant breakfast. The last time I was at the store I decided to get the instant breakfast with no sugar and extra fiber even though it is more expensive than the sugary kind.
Lunch: We went to the Dairy Queen in some forgettable town in Kansas. I got chicken strips, but they were so bad that I could only eat the fries.
Dinner: We stopped in Dodge City, Kansas (birthplace of Wyatt Earp!) and decided to look around briefly and sample the local cuisine. Well, the local cuisine of west Kansas consists of beef. So I had sirloin kabobs with grilled peppers and onions with a baked potato and side salad. After dinner we got the hell out of Dodge. I saved my dinner roll and ate it at some point in Oklahoma.
Snacks: Snacking is required in the car. We brought Cinnabon coffee beverages, string cheese, sasparilla soda (diet), gummi Lifesavers, and BBQ chips with us. Food that we don't eat at other times helps pass the time.

Erica's food, July 27th.
Breakfast: I had a piece of cake, which turned out to be awful so I didn't finish it. Instead I had instant grits with American cheese.
Lunch: Bucket of popcorn while seeing Mamma Mia. Terrible, I know.
Dinner: Green curry with tofu at a Thai restaurant.
Snack: Cookies'n'cream Hyvee brand icecream.
Later my cat dumped the cake on the floor and ate a bunch of it, negating my feeling of guilt for having to throw away most of a cake. I guess he likes avocado frosting.

Erica's food, July 26 2008.
I'm going to try to be better about posting.
Breakfast/Lunch, 12:30: Egg sammiches: homemade whitebread toast with butter, 2 fried eggs with 2 slices of American cheese. Glass of milk.
Dinner, 6:00: Lo mein Justin made. It contained Chinese noodles, yellow peppers, celery, shrimp, mushrooms, onion, and bean sprouts. Diet Pepsi Max.
Snack, 10:30: Some batter and frosting from making a birthday cake for myself. Just plain old white cake mix from a box because I wanted to try an avocado frosting recipe I saw on Good Eats. The frosting is pretty good and probably healthy, but if you don't like avocados it's probably not for you. Glass of milk.
Does anybody have an opinion on dairy? Is it good for me or is it evil? Because I tend to eat a lot of it. I like things like soy milk, but the particulate content makes my throat scratchy if I drink it regularly. Anyway, I prefer to bake with real dairy products.
