This was my lunch I packed for work; 1 serving of TJ's Rice Mac and Cheese with a dash of cayenne, chili powder and pepper with a salad on the side of spring mix with raw broccoli, red bell, Persian cucumber and a dash of Goddess dressing: 
Later when I found out Sean would be home in time for a late-ish dinner I had this Soy Joy bar in mango, my consensus: bad, like a stale cookie and the flavor was weak and almost rancid -ewwww!
Plus it didn't hold me at all, so I went to the fridge to have the rest if the Mac and Cheese. I felt better and full so I was not tempted to eat as I cooked and not tempted to eat all the Mashed potatoes I was making for Sean! No picture of the rice and cheese but it was just like lunches sans salad.
The meal turned out just ok. I was unhappy with how the steaks turned out. I am really no expert on cooking steak, I have only ever cooked them ONCE! Sean usually BBQ's or broils them. I tried to Pan Fry them. They were over cooked and tough and too much like the steak in Napoleon Dynamite- HAHA~!
We had a a glass of wine with dinner from our case of Mystery wine and some Red pepper hummus and Goddess for dipping (but neither of us ended up dipping). I ate all of my artichoke but only had a spoon cleaning's worth of mashed taters.
At work I had another Green Tea Frappe (obsessed) and when I got home I had this Itty Bitty Apple:
For dinner I wanted to make a nice meal with my tip money! So I bought some New York Strip Steaks, potatoes to mash (Sean's fave) and artichokes!
Here are the green flowers of the earth! I steamed them:
Love the steak/arichoke combo. Sometimes a girl just needs a steak! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Have you bought a new camera yet? I remember you were in the market for one and lately I am producing horrible photos so I am shopping, too!

sorry your not in the best of moods dear! Just remember tomorrow is another day...and that day just happens to be Friday, so its even better :)
ReplyDeleteDeary, dear! I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling too great - I hope FRIDAY treats you better :)
ReplyDeleteQuestion: how exactly do you eat an artichoke? I've only eaten the kind that have been deconstructed (for lack of better term). Thanks for giving me the foodie heads up ;)
PS. Napoleon, don't be jealous I've been chatting online with hot babes all day
Thinspired- I have not bought a new camera yet, my thoughts are as follows “the economy is doo doo and so I should prob save up for something like Coachella tickets and wait until my camera poops out completely” But let me know if you find a good one, I am always looking!
ReplyDeleteJen- Thanks dear you are sweet to give the comment avec hugs! Hugs back!
Emilydh211- Thank you and yeah for Friday!
Ksgoodeats- Thank you too and lets see how to eat an artichoke, well I steam mine then peel of leave by leave and eat the “meat” of the leaves. Once you get to the more delicate leaves I eat as much of those as I can chew, then the HEART. You get to the purple leaves and the really small leaves and then hit some “hair” I just cut out the “hair” with a pairing knife and eat the whole heart. This is not the best explanation so sorry; I will find a better one and post soon!
Aw I'm sorry to hear you aren't in a great mood. But you were so adventurous and brave with your cooking! Good for you:)
ReplyDeleteTomorrow's another day sunshine!
