11:35 Pm
    • Some banana pepper rings
    • 2 Bites of a peach
The peach was Mealy and I knew this after the first disappointing bite. Giving it a second chance did not result in juiciness, peach Was discarded.

10:05 Pm
    • 1 can of tuna


10:00 PM
    • Bite of Andrew's Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Poptart
    • Sip of Andrew's orange something Gatorade
    • 1/2 cup of mom's broccoli soup
    • A Peach
Andrew loves these poptarts, and the bite I had was indeed mind-blowing. He warned me his gatorade was 'no good,' and it was definitely not my bag either.

9:30 Pm
    • 3 Eggs
    • 1 Jennie-O Turkey breakfast sausage link
    • 1 slice whole grain bread
    • 1 plum
I go through 18 or so eggs a week, I like them a whole lot. Tonight's eggs were sunny side up. The yolks were a bit too soft for my taste but I do enjoy mopping it up with my toast. The turkey sausage is cooked first and then chopped up into little bits. Then the eggs go in and cook in the grease from the sausage.

I was studying the sausage packaging while the eggs were cooking and noticed that they contain quite a bit of saturated and transitive fat. This means I'm going to stop eating them which is unfortunate. First of all I have 16 sausages left and second of all they are, of course, delicious.

8:53 Pm
    • 2 Naproxen tablets
    • 2 Advil capsules


6:32 Pm
    • Whey protein drink


6:20 PM
    • 1 ear of sweet corn on the cob, uncooked
    • 2 bugles
    • 2 handfuls of semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • A bowl of peas
    • 1/2 handful of Real Bacon bacon bits
    • 6 tortellini
This meal was consumed at my parent's house. I do not keep any food at my own. I went to taste a bugle, because I am not familiar with them, and my mom yelled, 'Don't eat junk!' I then proceeded to find the fresh, shucked sweet corn on the cob in the fridgidaire, and attacked it at once, with my teeth. My mom warned, "You need to wash that!" as my father simultaneously exclaimed "You're a FREAK!" His consternation at the fact that I love raw corn on the cob was amusing to me. Upon closer examination, the corn did indeed need to be washed.

5:30 PM
    • Some frozen peach slices


Never
    • Absolutely Free Gourmet Ice Cream Bars: Orange and Vanilla Creme
I will never eat these bars I bought several weeks ago. I am not currently eating them nor do I plan to in the future. They are absolutely disgusting and inedible, and I am telling you, I will eat some less than tasty things frequently out of hunger and/or lack of things to do. I bought these Absolutely Free Orange and Vanilla Creme bars because they're only 80 calories and boy do I love anything orange creamsicle, and I mean really love. However, they taste more like a slightly sour piece of fiberboard. Perhaps this chewy piece of fiberboard had some milk spilled on it, saturating it, and the milk was either sour or became sour at some point after soaking the fiberboard. Many of you full-fat food eaters out there may scoff at me for even buying these and expecting them to be good, but I regularly buy Blue Bunny Health Smart Fudge Bars, and they are only 50 calories and I enjoy their chocolaty cardboard flavor immensely.

However, it is important to note that despite my disgust with these bars and inability to put them in my mouth, they will remain in my freezer. This is because I have a major problem with throwing away anything that is somehow usable, even if it is not usable to me. I don't have a plan for these nasty bars, but I am hoping to make my brother try them.

2:00 PM
    • A cup of Yogi tea
This appetite suppressant once again left me feeling hungry. The yogi is full of crap. I was going to cuss, but this is a family blog, so.

Also, each tea bag contains some of the yogi's wisdom. Here is the wisdom from this afternoon's bag of tea: "Where there is love, there is no question." This is a food blog, so my many thoughts on this quote are irrelevant. I would have written the quote from yesterday's cup of yogi tea, but when I woke up yesterday and imbibed said beverage, I noticed the quote but did not commit it to memory as I did not know I would have a food blog later that afternoon.

1:51 Pm
    • 2 Hebrew National 97% fat free hot dogs
    • Cafe Bustelo
It's hot dog time again. Enjoyed these two with some thick lines of Plochman's classic yellow: the mustard lover's mustard. Hot dogs are really great because you can make them quickly. I decided to have some Cafe Bustelo but when I went to look for my coffee maker I was :-( because it had mysteriously vanished. I used a french press instead. Though I had never used one before the Bustelo did not taste any worse than it normally does. Success!

4:00 AM
    • A cup of broccoli soup
    • Some golden raisins
I am so sick of these golden raisins.

2:55 Am
    • 1 Tum (assorted berries)


12:06 Am
    • 2 Tums (assorted berries)

Stephan said...

Hilary said...

Stephan said...

is this yogi berra's wisdom?

Hilary said...

no, it is that super hungry bear who is naked save a necktie, floating collar, and hat. he is the one who invented this appetite suppressant tea made from Organic Red Clover (Trifilium pratense) and Garcinia Fruit (Garcinia cambogia), and is the source of the wisdom found on the bags.

While I am glad to know that you enjoy all things orange creamsicle and i am amused that you enjoy things such as Blue Bunny Health Smart Fudge Bars, it worries me that it is 4:00 and you have not had anything but an appetite suppressant. I am hoping to see another entry soon with some food that you actually ate.

Ken, I am glad that you are watching out for transitive fat in your diet. I believe that to be a very wise decision. I am still sorry that you are going to give up your beloved Turkey Breakfast Sausages.

Barbie, how did mom's broccoli soup compare to your own? did it contain cheese? I understand your disappointment with the peach but I will often will eat them as long as they don't have any mold on them since the window of time that they are in a condition that I prefer is so small and I feel that I should just make the most of the fruit.
Also, the word mealy makes me think of Joanna Newsom singing about mealy worms.

Dan, in response to your comment:

The soup recipe is one that I got from my mother, so they are pretty much identical...usually. This time, I was there during her production of the soup. She wondered if she had enough broccoli for it, so I went to her freezer. After rummaging around for some time, I emerged triumphantly clutching some frozen Green Giant Broccoli and Cheese. She happily added it to the pot. She may also have included the evaporated milk I always omit, as the recipe calls for it, but I am unsure.

Her soup was definitely better tasting than mine, but probably had a higher caloric and fat content than my version, and the low calories and zero fat are the only reasons I make it at all.

Also, Ken D:
I successfully microwaved a hotdog several weeks ago. It did not explode at all, and though you do not have the aversion to dirtying pots that I do, it would cut your hotdog preparation time down even more.
