When my kids were little at daycare there was always PM snack – just a few bites of something, after they waked up from their naps, before their parents came to get them. I often donated boxes of graham crackers for PM snack. I guess that’s what I just ate, PM snack. Two crackers with a little of some kind of smoked cheese I just inherited from Rach – she cleaned out her fridge yesterday in preparation for her move to upstate New York. It was kinda funny – we had a lot of the same stuff<\/a>.\u00a0 And a few handfuls of some cilantro croutons I made last night.<\/p>\n

And somehow it’s Friday, and I haven’t written since last Saturday – tho I certainly have been eating and cooking.<\/p>\n

Monday I made a big stir fry with most of the veggies in the fridge – bok choy, half a red pepper, salad turnips – just the roots; the greens weren’t perky enough to cook anymore – scallions, and shallot, with a sauce with coconut milk and some Thai red curry paste. It turned out spicier than I wanted, not one of my best sir fry combos, and I don’t think anyone else ate any of it but me. I still have a bunch of asparagus.<\/p>\n

Tuesday I went to meet Heike for coffee on the eastside, after biking over to School Woods<\/a> to empty the dishwasher and pick up a tube of goat cheese I left there accidentally, after the private brunch<\/a> on June 2. When I got home, I ate some of the stir fry veggies inside of a tortilla, that I heated in a cast iron skillet, so it was sort of an Asian vegetable wrap\/quesadilla.\u00a0 I made another wrap with salami and cheese but I didn’t like it nearly as well, so I only had a few bites of it. Which meant I could then indulge in microwave s’mores – half a Hershey bar, graham crackers, and 2 marshmallows, plus I ate the last two, finishing off the bag. Four marshmallows is only 100 calories; half a Hershey bar is about 110; and the graham crackers, “two full cracker sheets” like it says on the box, is one serving, 130 calories. In case you were wondering. And I biked a lot.<\/p>\n

Wednesday we had two cocktail parties after work – one at the home of one of Mark’s co-workers; they’re almost all getting laid off as of July 1, so she was celebrating her last day. The other for Rachael, who’s moving to upstate New York – hence the fridge clean out. At the lake view condo of the co-director of the research project where Rach works, and will still be working, just remotely. So between the two parties, I had a gin & tonic and a Cosmo, and two beers. And party food – a mouthful of jambalaya, a few bites of peach coffee cake, smoked salmon, nuts, cheese & crackers, guacamole & chips ….<\/p>\n

Thursday I finally made a real dinner – Creamy Chive Potatoes<\/a>, from Canal House, by way of Epicurious, and a big salad with those cilantro croutons. Gave me a chance to clean all the lettuce I had languishing in the fridge. One of the cartons of half & half for the potatoes was spoiled – not out of date, still sealed, and spoiled, and of course I poured it in with the good stuff before I noticed. I had to throw it all away, and bike to the corner store for a fresh carton.<\/p>\n

Today’s dinner was the healthiest yet – after the PM snack – salad with bacon, tomato, more of the croutons, and an egg on top. Bottled green goddess dressing, also inherited from Rach, as an alternative to my home made.<\/p>\n
