Food log: Wednesday, November 4

November 4 is Sid Lee Day at the office. That means we are not allowed to work but we can't stay home. So we get a full day of fun activities like chair massage, comedy dance class, yoga, pilates, boxing class, a poker tournament, a Rock Band/DJ Hero game room, painting and drawing classes, street hockey and at the end of the day, a huge party.

Of all days to forget my camera, I chose this one.

So because I can't dissapoint my readers, I have made a composite of images that kind of represent what the day looked like. It's pretty accurate.

Money spent on food today: $7 for a late light poutine.

Cereal at home

Banana from the bistro - free

Tea from the bistro - free

Pistachios from the bistro - free

Pop chips and tomato juice

Miso-maple salmon, rice noodles, broccoli at home with Adreanne , after our pool workout

I marinated the salmon in a mixture of white miso, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. It marinated all day. Then I just put in in a Pyrex dish and baked it for 25 minutes at 400 (it was thick and I like my salmon well done). I made a little more fresh marinade to use as a sauce. The salmon becomes very savory and the thinner ends are all sweet and caramely. Light, easy, tasty. Awesome.

Nature's Path Organic cereal, skim milk

Clementine at work - free


This is my Halloween loot. I think I'm in trouble.

At least I have dental floss.

Egg sandwich ($4.75) and crudité ($4) from Cartet

The crudité plate at Cartet is expensive for chopped up veggies, but the variety makes it a good deal. This one had red and green pepper strips, carrot slices, yellow beet slices, cucumber slices, broccoli and cauliflower florets, celery sticks and a yogourt and feta dip.

Tea from the bistro (free) while admiring my new OPI nail polishes (not free)




Miniature Coffee Crisp from Halloween loot - free

A conversation with the authors of "What the World Eats"

Food log: Sunday, November 1

This is going to be a short one.


Peanut butter toast and orange water




Meat macaroni with cheese




Then for dinner, I had the same thing as last night: chicken, carrots, mashed potatoes.


I should note that I went to Ikea and managed to resist the hot-dogs and delicious cinnamon rolls. This is known as a miracle and is the first step towards me becoming a saint.


Hejdå!

Food log: Saturday, October 31

It was raining all day, so I spent the day cleaning out the hall closet and cooking. I was supposed to go out to Spasm for the Halloween party tonight, but I was too tired to go out again and maybe just a little to comfortable at home.
