This was an interesting week in that I found/acquired a lot of free food. That's pretty much the best thing ever even if it doesn't help me clean out the pantry.
Monday:
Nice big salad along with some Birdseye wild rice and Trader Joe's soycuttash. Yes, I felt a little weird eating a salad with a side of vegetables, but it was still tasty!
Tuesday:
The rest of the soycuttash and with rice and another veggie burger.
Wednesday:
Ramen noodles with an egg on them. I had an off-campus meeting in the late afternoon and scored a whole bunch of free leftovers as well as going out to dinner (with a groupon) and scoring some more mediocre leftovers there. I don't know if I'll actually eat those.... we'll see.
Thursday:
Half a leftover sandwich from last night with leftover salad from my meeting. They were both pretty soggy but still good. The sandwich, I should mention, was a deep fried grilled cheese. It was the only vegetarian sandwich on the menu at the restaurant we went to, and it was... odd. I think they deep fried it to justify it costing $8? Either way, it was really too much sandwich for me, and I'm glad it's gone (avoid deep fried sandwiches in the future, self). Went to a play with a friend after work, so dinner was half a popcorn and then cheese and crackers leftover from Wednesday's meeting. Gouda! So good!
Friday:
Pizza Friday with BF--a semi-regular tradition.
Saturday:
Had to work at job #3, so lunch was the standard soup and half sandwich. There was some kind of event going on early in the day and I managed to score a free apple cider donut and some fruit--not too shabby. Dinner was salad and a veggie burger.
Sunday:
English muffin for breakfast; out for lunch, and dinner was snacks provided by book club friends (I hosted). Now I had leftover chips and salsa!
Purchases: 1 Cucumber
Used up: Soycuttash that I've had for at least a year, two veggie burgers.
I put tomato paste in my penne a la vodka, braised lentils, and as a thickener in tomato sauce.
