Another long day

Well, I’ve realized that I’m going to be working much longer hours than I had thought! I managed to leave on time today, but only because I had an appointment to get to – tomorrow I could be there until dark! I’m starting to worry about my biking time now. At least my wallet will be happy I guess because I need to keep this job for the summer (it’s tied into school as a placement)

Tonight’s supper was a chicken stir-fry with veggies (I was too hungry to even see what ones my mom put in!) all wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla.

It was delicious! I believe my mom made a variation of the recipe Bohemian Wrapsody from Crazy Plates.

I snacked on some strawberries too while I was waiting, but they kept getting popped into my mouth too fast for a photo-op

While I’m at it, I’ll do a preview of tomorrow since I have to be at work early tomorrow morning. I’m having muesli with some frozen berries (thawed) and avocado if I remember it in the morning. Here it is in my hand, on the way to my fridge:

Later I’ll have a ham and veggie wrap with some carrots and an apple.

Hope you have a good night and I’ll try to make it back for supper tomorrow. I might have to eat on the job though, which means no photos again. I don’t want to break my camera or lose it.

Surprise!

It’s muesli again! This time, my muesli was loaded (well, by my standards it was… ) This morning I used my usual combo of oats and plain yogurt, along with a few goji berries, some thawed berries and some peanuts.

Ya know what? I didn’t like the peanuts or the blackberries – too much crunch in my otherwise creamy muesli! It was still good, just not amazing.

Here’s my lunch for today:

It’s almost the same as yesterday except that there’s an apple, there are no more pickles and I just packed my veggies on my sandwich this time. I may be eating a soggy ham sandwich, but I hope not

First daily wrap-up

I wish I could say that today was a super productive day, but I can’t. I did get some studying done and I started packing, but I also did a fair amount of procrastination. I have two more exams on Thursday but I just can’t get into study mode. I think my brain has already gone on vacation!

On to the food…

Lunch was leftovers, as usual! “Fried” brown rice with mushrooms and carrots with a side of Hoisin BBQ beans. I guess it was an Asian themed meal

My dinner was inspired by HappyHerbivore: cauliflower curry with black rice and a dollop of yogurt. This was a really nice change from my usual flavours! I’m not going to post a recipe because while I half followed a recipe, I also just sort of tasted and added spices as I went along. I’m not really sure that I could remember what I threw in there. It’s basically just cauliflower and spices though.

Later in the evening I had my “desert” – a rice pudding of sorts. I basically cooked some brown rice in vanilla almond milk until it was all nice and creamy. I also added some goji berries, but you can’t really see them. I guess it was really a snack, not a desert since I ate it a couple of hours after supper I had planned on it for desert though so that’s what I’m calling it!

Finally, an apple. I wanted to slice it up nicely to make it last longer (my fave way to eat apples!) but I already packed up my knives! All my veggies are already chopped up and ready for the week so I thought it would be OK to pack them… I guess I was wrong, but I’m not unpacking them!

That’s it! I have to go un-confuse myself now… somehow I got myself all mixed up in my fluid mechanics notes today Sigh… It’s almost over, it’s almost over, it’s almost over….. I can’t wait!

Snack-y

I’m having such an off food day today. I think it comes from eating breakfast earlier than usual, followed by a substantial snack and a late lunch. I just didn’t feel like a real meal for supper tonight, so I didn’t make one! I just snacked on some carrots, red peppers, an apple and some leftover beans. I actually did end up portioning out some of the beans after I took the photo, since I didn’t think it was smart to just dig in with my spoon.

On another note, I will be shifting my blogging from three to two times per day starting tomorrow. Usually my lunches are leftovers of some sort and not too exciting, so I’ll either include lunch with breakfast or supper. This will have to happen as of next week when I start work anyway, so I thought I might as well start now and also give myself the freedom to stay at school and study over lunchtime. I may still do a lunch post from time to time, it just won’t be as regular anymore

Getting stuff done

I got a lot done this morning, even if it didn’t include opening a book! After breakfast, I puttered around a bit, not really doing much of anything – just a few little things that needed to be done. I also used this time to think about what I am going to do today and plan my day a bit. I decided to do a bit of biking, so I ate an apple beforehand to give me a quick little boost. Here it is with my bike, all ready to go in front of my TV.

By the time I finished that, it ws time to start lunch. I put my rice on to cook and then decided to make my dinner while I waited. Now I have dinner all ready for me in the fridge for when I get hungry and I made good use of the long cooking time for brown rice.

I topped my rice with some sautéed red pepper and some hoisin-BBQ adzuki beans. I was starving by the time my rice was ready, so I devoured this meal! Now I’m still waiting for my stomach to receive the “full signal”!
