Day 20

I made a magical egg sandwich for breakfast. At least it should have been magical, given that it was an egg, Morningstar patty and slice of Horizon cheese on bread that cost SEVEN FIFTY A LOAF. Now don't get me wrong, it's delicious, wholesome, locally made bread from Great Harvest Bread Co. I'm just saying if one of the nine grains used to make it wasn't genuine gold flakes then it's not worth $7.50 to me.

I was too lazy to shop last weekend so I asked my roommate to pick some things up during the week. I suggested he get a local alternative to the Alvarado bread because frozen bread imported from the west coast isn't what I'd call sustainable. Looks like I'll be starting to make my own bread here pretty soon.  So anyway without further ado, here's what a rich person's eggwich looks like:

For lunch I had pho (pronounced 'fuh') with brisket from Pho Viet on Louis Henna. Pho is a Vietnamese soup made with rice vermicelli and various meats or seafood. I chose brisket today on the theory that factory farmed beef is a lesser evil than factory farmed chicken. Add some fresh basil, bean sprouts, hoisin and chili sauce and it's delicious. I wish I knew where I could find it with sustainable meat or seafood but as I've mentioned before I don't know of any Asian restaurants that fit that bill.

For dinner I had the leftover linguine with tomato sauce from the other night.

This is the same photo I used the other night and although I didn't eat the salad with dinner I did eat an identical salad as a snack later. I also had a small bowl of red lentil soup and a mini Clif bar.

I also had one of a new brand of fudge bars from Julie's Organic Ice Cream. They are only 100 calories like the HC fudge bars but arguably better tasting (and of course organic).
