Cookumentary
The new livejournal community Cookumentary is perfect for someone like me who barely knows how to cook.
For dinner I cooked red swiss chard and red onions, resulting in a lot of veggies swimming around in red pigment. I don't mind cooking the same way every day (sautee, splodge on some seasoning, eat), but it's rather unadventurous.
And I ate too much today. Many coffee candies were dissolved. I ate one miniature Kit Kat, and I think two mini stroopwafels. I have no idea how many sugar plums I adte, but they're the size of bloated cherries (each one is probably like eating two cherries) so I'd say around 10. I ate a peach that while soft, sadly din't have much flavor. Somewhat randomly, I shared a cannoli with my mum, which we got from a cart at the Ridgewood Farmer's Market that mainly sells mozzerella. Neither of us are big fans of Italian food/pastries (she LOVES tiramisu, though) but the cannoli was worth trying. I wouldn't choose it over cake, or muffins, or scones, or cookies, but ye know...it's good.
Oh, I also bought a hamantashen from the farmer's market. I LOVE HAMANTASHEN! LOVE LOVE! SO GOOD! I love poppy seed! More things need poppy seed! The one I bought didn't have orange juice in it, the kind which I prefer, but it was still oh so delicious. I know it's not really a cookie but I CALL IT A COOKIE, thus it is one of my favorite cookies.
Oh. So. For lunch I had a lot of bread with olive oil, some sugar plums, and a slice of bread with muenster cheese. It's my favorite melty cheese and I haven't eaten it in maybe more than 10 years (honestly, I have no idea). I used to eat it semi-frequently as a kid (keep in mind I didn't eat much cheese overall) and it's one of those things that still tastes good. For something that doens't taste as good, I used to eat scrambled egg sandwiches nearly every day when I was in grade school. Eh. (It was really easy for my mum to pack for me, I guess.) I'm sad to find out that American muenster cheese is the poop; yup, it's super bland. It has some taste, of course, but I'm not surprised that it's supposed to have more. To do: eat real muenster cheese.
At around 11 PM I felt like getting a snack for some reason. ALERT: LATE NIGHT SNACKS ARE VERY BAD. Was I hungry? Am I ever? Nope, wasn't hungry, just kind of hobbled down to the kitchen and ended up eating some potato chips my brother got from Whole Foods (note: Satan's grocery store is completely filled with potato chips) and another slice of toast and muenster cheese. And the aforementioned peach.
Lordy. I better walk off some of this tomorrow. :| I must seriously be gaining lots of weight; my attempts to lose weight have been futile, considering how I haven't really been trying. Every time I think I can, a new fun fooding thing comes along. I had no excuse for eating so much today though.
