No, I did NOT give up on Meatless Tuesday.  However, I’m giving up on blogging about it. Guys, the Meatless Tuesday experiment has stuck.  16 weeks I haven’t wavered and my resolution is as strong as before.  It’s just that now that Meatless Tuesday has become an established routine, writing about it seems, well, tedious.  And absolutely unimportant. I have been tempted to drop it and go for meat a couple of times when I was stressed out.  Sure, I

Yes. I was at TEDxUSC. My mind was thoroughly blown. That’s another post unto itself so I’m not going into it here much. Breakfast: My Starbucks treat: decaf tall Americano with caramel sauce. Leftover plantano frito con frijoles y crema–fried plantains with beans and sour cream–from my Friday’s foray into Salvadorian cuisine. Ahhh…Sarita’s Pupusaria at the Grand Central Market! . Lunch: Mendocino Farms’ Vegetarian BLT.  Yes, you read that right. It has vegetarian “bacon” and pepper jack cheese. And it

Accidental egg consumption! Oh no!!!! Breakfast & Snack: Starbucks decaf hazelnut soy latte.  This is what I’d order when I want a breakfast in a cup.  The tall decaf Americano with caramel sauce is more of a treat. Fage yogurt with peach. . Lunch: Leftover half of bibimbap from Cafe Sura, the only Korean restaurant in Long Beach!  Fresh, it came out in the traditional sizzling bowl.  Rice gets all crispy in the bottom.  You crack a raw egg on

Oh my friends, I was down and out on Tuesday. I think I might have had a sinus infection or something but I was wiped out.  I slept for 12 hours (well, woke up at 5:30 a.m. to realize that I really didn’t have any energy to move), and slept some more during the day, AND then another 8 hours Tuesday night.  Came Wednesday morning, I was still pretty wiped out.  Oy! So, I didn’t have breakfast on Tuesday… Lunch

Breakfast: Starbucks treat: the usual. Small pink lady apple. FREE Starbucks pastry day! So I got a chocolate croissant. . Lunch: Toaster oven panini: 2 slices of buttered sour dough, Irish cheddar, Brie, sliced tomatoes and basil, wrapped in foil and baked until cheese melted then broiled for the crunch. Girls Scouts’ Thin Mint cookies . Dinner: Wendy’s plain baked potatoes topped with cremini mushrooms sauteed in butter, a little Limoncello, and chives. Fresh & Easy Swiss truffle. A handful

10 weeks. 1 accidental egg. I think I’m doing pretty good! Breakfast: A tall decaf Americano with half-and-half, Sugar in the Raw, and Caramel Sauce…not syrup.  And YES, I like my coffee like my men: tall, decaf Americano, white and sweet topped with caramel sauce.   I was too stressed out to eat anything else that morning.  However, lunch came at me fast. . Lunch: The Vegan Spicy Soyrizo & Black Bean Wrap from Mendocino Farms in my building.  The

I fell off the wagon. Just a little bit. Having been up very late on Monday night, I rolled out of bed on Tuesday and made myself an egg on toast. *sigh* Breakfast: A slice of buttered 7-grain toast topped with one sunny side up egg cooked in a pat of butter along with slices of vine ripen tomato. A mug of English breakfast tea . Lunch: A small Caesar salad with no croutons. Hey, I’m already off the wagon

Holy CRAP! It’s all ready been a week?! My god. Am I a bad blogger! But I promise to have something much more entertaining than my weekly food journal in a day or two. For now, on to Meatless Tuesday. * Breakfast: Open faced “grilled cheese” sandwich: one slice of 7-grain bread, buttered, topped with slices of one whole vine-ripen tomato, sprinkled with Nature’s Seasons seasoning blend, and a few slices of snack-sized cheddar cheese, toasted in the toaster oven

Breakfast Half of a giant blueberry peach scone I got from the farmer’s market over the weekend. I ate the other half on Monday. A mug of lemongrass-pandan tea. . Lunch An avocado tomato sandwich: 2 slices of 7 grain bread lightly toasted, mayo (yeah..I didn’t think about the egg content…), seasoning salt, a few shakes of Tapatio, strawberry tomatoes, and half of an avocado. The other half of the avocado with seasoning salt. Split a giant Asian pear with

Breakfast Ritz crackers with cream cheese A mug of Ecchaenacea Defense tea with honey . Lunch A few bites of brown rice and garlic tofu with vegetables from Pick Up Stix before the fire alarm went off in the building.  I came back and just ate the tofu about half an hour later.  Mother fuckers on the 33rd floor really need to get fined for all their burnt popcorn, I swear to god.
