A Goal

Goal: Bring lunch to work every day until the beginning of August. No purchasing food at work.

Punishment: Each time I fail, I have to hug five co-workers chosen by my friend. The hug includes the one handed back rub.

I'm getting lazy at cooking dinner since I have to make all my lunches, but I'm sticking to my $5 meals. Last night I bought a $9 roasted chicken and a $1 box of potato salad. The chicken will last me four meals and the salad, two.

Whatever is Left

Another week of putting a dent in my freezer, fridge and pantry.

Instant noodles, ground beef, frozen beans and an egg.

And another work week of baked chicken. The "twist" is a pea puree as the veggie instead of the usual kale.

A juice cleanse is in the near future.
That's your warning, world.

Joey's Muffintastic Birthday

What makes a perfect birthday party?
Wednesday evening pho.
Followed with drinking bourbon while making muffins.
And to pass the baking time, rounds of dirty scattegories.

27.

Mac and Cheese

Lied. There was no mac. I threw in quinoa instead. Whipped up a pea puree (onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, gouda) and mixed it with the quinoa before tossing it in the oven. Cheesy, breadcrumbs topping, of course.

While that baked, I made myself a snack. Toast, cheese and smoked oysters.
