Three Hundred and Sixty-Five

Monday, June 13

Last supper.

Thanks to Scott Hulme for making me look ridiculous during at least one meal every day for the last year. I wouldn't have done it for anyone shorter.

The end.

Coffee.

Went to Peet's Coffee for a little afternoon brew. I settled on an iced vanilla latte, as did pretty much everyone else I was there with. The picture just made it look so good...(which it was).

Stroopwafels.

Thin, chewy, mini wafers filled with caramel. I remember getting these in Holland, freshly made and as big around as my head. The already paper-thin wafer is sliced in half and the bottom is smeared with gooey caramel and then the top put back on and served warm. Trader Joe's stocks this adequate but less phenomenal and much tinier knock-off.

Chicken.

Roasted chicken breast, stuffed with feta, mozzarella, black olives and Mediterranean herbs. Served with mushroom risotto and parmesan.

Hot dog.

Pan-fried to perfection, with mustard, ketchup and dill relish in a whole wheat bun. Served with French fries, baby bell peppers and baby carrots.

Egg drop soup.

Haha, I really love this stuff. This time in a restaurant, which is my preference. Took this picture with my phone. I don't like corn very much but smuggled into egg drop soup is one of the few times I really don't mind it. Probably because I'm distracted by the fact that I'm eating such amazing soup.

Three Hundred and Fifty-Nine

Mojito.

Girls' night with Amber, Jen, Jess & Alysia. Highlights included Kevin Bacon opening his car door directly in our line of driving, stepping out in his skinny suit, his hair glimmering in the sun, and flashing a smile that seemed to say, "I love girls' night, you ladies look fantastic." Oh, and also this mojito.

Actually it was really tasty, with freshly squeezed cane juice in all its deliciousness.

Watermelon.

Fresh, juicy, cold watermelon. One of the best things for a hot summer day.

Three Hundred and Fifty-Seven

Sunday, June 5

Cheesecake.

Cheesecake Factory's New York style cheesecake, so creamy and decadent. Served with blueberries and strawberries.

Three Hundred and Fifty-Six

Saturday, June 4

Cognac.

Hennessy cognac. Smooth and full-bodied, it is the Queen Latifah of cognacs.

Friday, June 3

Tenderloin.

Dad's famous beef tenderloin and Mom's celery root & potato mash and roasted veggies. Have I mentioned recently how much I love mashed potatoes? Because man, I really do. Add celery root and it's even better.

BreathSavers.

I love these things! More substantial than a Tic-tac, but still not as big of a commitment as gum. I'm not a huge fan of Altoids, I find them curiously not great-tasting. But these...these I like.

Cereal.

Made possible by the efforts of Michael. From top left: fruit loops, honey nut o's, rice crispies. I have to say the loops are my favorite, followed by the crispies and finally the o's.

Beef & broccoli.

This is pretty self-explanatory. I'll just add that it was delicious.

Steak sandwich.

Leftovers from the night before. Thinly sliced steak, cream cheese, baby lettuce, horseradish, salt & pepper on toasted sourdough.

Steak & potatoes.

Grilled steak, cooked just right (although, when does Dad not grill a steak perfectly?) and grilled potatoes with sour cream and chives. Served with a tossed salad.

Egg drop soup.

I actually followed a recipe this time, and liked it less than when I winged it. This one has lime juice and ginger and soy sauce and things like that. I don't like it as much as when I get it in restaurants, that's for sure. It certainly wasn't bad, though.

Breakfast.

I love eggs this way. Scrambled, with sauteed sausage (chicken sausage with smoked gouda and apple) and cheddar cheese, salt & pepper. Served with that rosemary toast from before.

Sandwich.

Bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, dijon mustard & mayonnaise on this incredible rosemary sourdough bread that Mom & Dad get from our local farmers' market. So tasty!

Couscous.

Mom & Mike put this little gem together. Couscous, chickpeas, cumin, sauteed chicken and enchilada sauce all tossed together and served with salad. Delicious.
