Day 7

I didn't realize I was out of eggs until I already had things in motion to make an eggwich, so I went ahead with it. I also forgot to take a picture until I was half done so I had to cut off the bit part for the picture. :D

Lunch was another spectacular fail on all counts except taste. Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes from the company cafeteria. Not nutritious, ethical or particularly economical but it did taste pretty good.

I had to make the same dinner I had the night before because I forgot to take a picture the first time.

Day 6

I used the last of my farm-fresh eggs for another eggwich this morning.

Since I was working from home I made a salad and had some of my roommate's homemade "Moroccan Red Lentil" soup from the freezer. It has an odd taste but I like it. I'll probably get and post the recipe eventually. The salad is romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, feta and Kalamata olives with "g/s" dressing. g/s stands for garlic/shallot, and consists of a clove of garlic minced with equal part shallot, 1/4 cup evoo, 1 Tb white wine vinegar, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar, s&p. It's a great quick and easy dressing to make.

For dinner I ate hot dogs, rice pilaf and broccoli. The hot dogs are all natural, uncured beef dogs from Applegate Farms. The rice pilaf is a recipe I make fairly often so I'll post it later, and the broccoli was blanched then sauteed in olive oil with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

It occurs to me now that Day 6 is the first day of the year when everything I ate came from my kitchen.
