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.

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.

Attack!
Breakfast: again, typical, may have had a banana, may not
Lunch: left overs from the salad yesterday
Snack: unsure, I did have a mild gall bladder attack all afternoon though, that was fun. I don't know what it was from, maybe the eggplant?
Dinner: I had a night of random foods, olives, tarts, salmon, wine

I've been bad about posting...
...but I have been taking pictures of the things I've been eating. Because there are so many though, here are the highlights. I also effed up a few times recently, which you should berate me for.
I ate this for breakfast today. I wanted to try the new flavor of mcdonalds coffee, but they messed up and gave me hazelnut. It's good tho. And I heart bacon egg and cheese biscuits...although I only ate about half of it.
My friend came over one day for lunch. We made pistachio pesto with potatoes and noodles, and then a raspberry salad with a apple cider vinaigrette, that I added lemon zest to. It was a delicious, healthy lunch.
At work one day I got a burger at my this burger place in the skyway. The burger's there are good and the fries are fantastic.
One day I had tamales for dinner. I bought a package that were prepared and frozen from the downtown farmer's market. They are good, but not the best tamales I've ever had.
