Chinatown!

Breakfast: A spinach, feta, egg, tomato wrap from the Starbucks near Civic Center. It was in a whole wheat wrap, and not too big. I didn't have time to have a breakfast before I left the house and wanted to eat something before being at a museum for a few hours. It isn't pictured.

Snack: I had a Chinese doughnut while looking for a dim sum place, this was around 3 or something


Lunch: Dim Sum around 3 or something. Not pictured are the two shrimp dumplings [steamed dough around shrimp, basically], I also only had about half of the broccoli and the other shrimp dumpling thingers


Evening eating: Grapes I picked up at Trader Joe's on the way home

Breakfast: oatmeal. takes 1.5 minutes in the microwave. I don't get the instant oatmeal shit 'cause it's not as healthy, and you can cook regular oatmeal just as fast.









Lunch: leftover grilled steak that my sister's boyfriend prepared. Awesome. Blue cheese and slightly grilled onions on top.












Dinner: no one will know what this is, but whatever. Rice with miniature shrimp-stuffed bittermelon. It's a Guyanese thing. My mom made a bunch of these back in the day for me, and they've just been sitting in my freezer because I eat out all the time. So I defrosted it and made rice in the rice cooker.






Snack before bed that appeased the foodie in me: I ate Tete de Moin - a cheese from Switzerland, and compared two types of proscuitto - Di Parma from Italy and Jamon Iberico from Spain. The Jamon Iberico is pretty expensive ($75/lb) and the Di Parma is cheap ($14/lb), so I wanted to compare. Apparently to make the Jamon Iberico they only allow the hog to eat this particular type of acorn. The Jamon Iberico was definitely the better of the two, but I couldn't tell if it was because of the way the meat was cured, or because of the taste of the meat itself. I will continue my assessment :) I also had a little extra old Beemster which is currently my favorite type of cheese, and a large glass of Ledson Winery Red Zin that I got on my visit with Urs. It was an excellent before-bed snack. Not healthy my any means, but lovely. I also shared some of the prosciutto with Mika, the new doggie. She loves it :)
