That's 1 small bowl of chips and 2 more cookies than I eat in a day.

Just sayin.

Touche.

Hey, we're rolling out from the NW Chevron @ 1:30 for 2:30-3:00 of zone 2 tomorrow. Why don't you cancel class and come join us?

You mean cancel classes (grad Combustion at 3:00 and undergrad Thermo at 5:10).

If things go well I might be able to get an hour in over lunch.

Back on topic: Linguine on the boil. Rory Gallagher on the iPod. I can't wait to try Gary's pesto.

Holy sh#t, that looks good!

2 cups Prince Edward Blend vegetables, 2 Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quesadillas, and 1 Black Bean burger on whole wheat bun.

750 calories.

also brought back some yogurt and granola from the dining hall, about 400 calories worth, for later tonight. I'll still be 450 calories under the amount needed to lose 2 lbs/week (7000 calories/week deficit).

It's been a good day.

for lunch i had another fresh turkey sandwich on sourdough with havarti dill cheese, heirloom tomato, and yellow mustard.

for a snack i had two bakery made fig newtons

for dinner i went out and had a Smoked turkey breast, bacon, and melted muenster cheese sandwich with tomato and honey-mustard dressing

for a snack after an easy hour on the trainer i had a 60 calorie mini mint oreo ice cream sandwich from trader joes

That sounds terrible.

The co-op I live in splits the food bills, you can eat whatever you want. I weigh the least but tend to eat the most

from 3pm on... 2 serve oats, 2 pear, 2 apple, bit of curds, some pro powder, a few blueberries.

dinner was a spinach salad, and great curry soup with grilled chicken breast. Lots of carrots, apple a bit of brown rice/lentils celery, onion.... very nice and warming.

chocolate casein oats for pre-bed snack....

I've definitely had beer for dinner before...sometimes, with peanuts.

Pizza hut at a school party tonight.

Ok, so a couple pages back, I was talking about how good pizza is easy to make. Obviously not easy enough.

I feel like drinking dishwashing liquid to get this oil slick out of my esophagus. I also feel like I just downed a can of Morton's Iodized Salt.

Oh, and for lunch: yes, yes I did. I had a freaking meatgasm. Twice.:

The wife and I thank you for the recipe.

These?



Online info says 85 calories per sandwich.

Most of the meals were filling and nutritious, but the snack issue was the killer. Who can eat just two cookies, honestly! Oh, and the chips weren't Lay's brand, otherwise there'd be fights over that small of a portion.

Pound Cake....makes 2 two pound loaves

Ingredients
16 ounces unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened, plus 1 tablespoon
16 ounces cake flour, plus 2 tablespoons
16 ounces sugar
9 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350 degrees F.

Coat a 10-inch aluminum tube pan or 2 (9 by 5-inch) loaf pans with 1 tablespoon of butter and dust with 2 tablespoons of the flour.

Cream together the remaining 16 ounces of butter and the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer for 5 minutes on medium speed, using the paddle attachment. Stop once to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. With the mixer running at the lowest speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Again, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. This will take approximately 3 minutes and the mixture may look curdled. Add the vanilla and salt and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds.

With the mixer on the lowest speed, add the flour in 3 installments, making sure each portion is fully incorporated before adding the next. After the final addition, scrape down the sides of the bowl and then beat for 30 seconds on medium speed until almost smooth.

Scoop the batter into the prepared pan(s), dividing evenly if using 2 pans. Bake for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 210 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. The crust will be golden brown and will spring back when pressed, but the crack around the center will appear moist.

Remove the cake from the oven to a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan(s) and cool on the rack. Store the cake on the rack covered with a tea towel for up to 3 days.

I'm not sure who that would be, but I don't think it's Food Network.

Let's play the who eats the healthiest around here contest.

I win!

161 This morning.

Oh yes. I'll be eating fried fish tonight.

So if you were 162 you'd eat healthy tonight and wake up at 160 tomorrow instead of eating fried fish tonight and waking up at 163 tomorrow?
