Place: Desk

No Day 187 or Day 188. :(

Today, we picked up our very first CSA (community-supported agriculture) delivery. It included baby leaf lettuce blend, green onions, shallots, and radishes.

Time: 8:15pm
Place: Kitchen

It made a very delicious salad. :)

Today, I had some fun playing with food at work.

Mmm... bananas and yogurt...

82/365 - Delicious!

I *actually* cooked something delicious for dinner tonight.

We've been living off junk food and frozen pizza for too long.

Tonight I cooked up some chicken, white rice and corn. I seasoned the rice with some garlic pepper, threw in some dried, minced onions, the corn (cooked), and 1T of butter.

It was really, really good.

Too bad I forgot to take a picture until I was nearly half finished eating it.



Time: 6:30pm
Place: Bedroom (I know it's a weird place to eat)





58/365 - Happy Birthday

Time: 3:00pm
Place: Kitchen

I know I've mentioned it before, but I generally am in charge of making dessert for family dinner on Sundays. Today, we're celebrating two birthdays in addition to the Oscars. I baked/decorated this delicious cake! I was so pleased with how yummy (and pretty) it turned out. :)

55/365 - Tilapia

Time: 6:45pm
Place: Kitchen

For dinner tonight, I tried my hand at making fish. I'd gotten a recipe in my Inbox for Pecan-crusted Tilapia, which I thought sounded yummy. I was actually very pleased with the way this turned out. :)

I'm actually finding that I don't really mind mild, white, flaky fish too much. Tilapia, sea bass, walleye are a few I've tried in the past couple of months. Yummy! Jasper does have some issues with the texture of the fish. He said he wouldn't mind it as much if there was a bit more breading on the fillets to help change the texture a bit.

51/365 - Cocoa

It's been a snowy day here. I'd say we've already gotten 3"+

and it's still coming down out there.

Nothing better than a nice hot cup of cocoa on a snowy day.

Time: 6:30pm
Place: Kitchen



36/365 - Nap & Cake

As I lied down to take a nap this afternoon, I couldn't believe how good this tit looked! I tried to not move it out of position while I grabbed my phone and snapped this picture.

Time: 1:30pm
Place: Bedroom

Today, I also baked/decorated a cake for my brother's birthday, which we will be celebrating tomorrow. It's a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake, and I thought it turned out quite well. Hopefully it will taste as good as it looks (I'm pretty sure it will since the batter, filling, and frosting all tasted yummy on my fingers).



Time: 11:15pm
Place: Kitchen

33/365 - Snack

Time: 1:00pm
Place: Desk

Snack time!

32/365 - Lunch

Time: 5:45am
Place: Kitchen

Today's lunch all packaged and ready for my lunch bag:

Two Bean & Kale soup, Salad w/ Roasted Garlic & Rosemary dressing, Red Grapes, Celery sticks/Baby carrots, Pretzel M&Ms.

Yum!

30/365 - Soup

Time: 8:30pm
Place: Kitchen

Ok. I know it looks gross, but it actually tasted pretty good. All that green is kale, not spinach. Oh, and this is an in-process photo. I kind of suck at taking final pics of food. :(

24/365 - Spearfish

I can't believe I've already missed two days (three if you count this one)!!

Still, I want to keep this going...even if it ends up being riddled with holes.

Tonight, I didn't feel like making dinner when I got home from work,

and the restaurant in the basement of our building smelled so very, very good.

So, I told J we should eat there, and I promptly made reservations.



Time: 8:05pm
Place: The restaurant downstairs

I realize the quality of this picture isn't the greatest (I thought the lighting was bright enough for a pic with my phone, but I should've grabbed my actual camera. oh well.), but here is a picture of the spearfish I enjoyed for dinner. I'm not normally much of a fish eater, but I'm trying to branch out and try to incorporate more fish into my diet. It was pretty tasty and the texture wasn't bad either.



I only actually ate about half before I was full. The waitress suggested we eat the remainder cold over a salad. Guess that will be tomorrow's dinner. :)

8/365 - Lunch

Good news! The lodge we're staying at has free WiFi. :)

I still won't be blogging, but I can still post my Project 365 pics. Yay!

This was my lunch today.

The menu called it "A Typical Costa Rican dish."

Basically black beans and rice with beef in a tomato sauce.

So yummy!

Time: 12:00pm
Place: Arenal Observatory Lodge, Costa Rica
