A light box.

Me too, with a side of air....

Cake doughnut and 1/2 pint skim milk.

Pumpkin soup from Au Bon Pain. Perfect for the chilly weather.

1/4 white with rice - from Edy's Chicken and Steak - love that Peruvian chicken and the spicy green sauce to dip it in!

Barbara's Animal Crackers and FourBucks coffee. Milk and sugar.

A banana/cardamom smoothie.

The New York Times.

A "Nights in White Chocolate" with Heath bar from Coldstone, and a healthy pour of Rhum Barbancourt. In it's own glass. With some ice. But not too much.

Leftover General Tsao Boneless Duck from TemptAsian Cafe.

Reduced-Fat Pringles. Yeah, I know, but sometimes you have to give in to your baser cravings.

Hanger steak from Cheesetique, professionally trimmed by the Wilson Boulevard Master Butchers. Many thanks to Michael squared. Dee-lish.

Fingerling potatoes from new morning somethingorother farm at Dupont. Boiled and simply dusted with salt.

Le Tabbie. Cat wine from Daily Planet and righteously highly recommended by MelGold, Star of such threads as, On a whim, what are you up to?, Fall Picnic at Belle Haven Park, and Dinner!

Turkey meatball stroganoff variation with broad egg noodles and off-season asparagus spears dressed with lime mayo. And cold beer.

Tea-smoked duck breast finished with a cider reduction and ancho toasted pumpkin seeds.
Wild rice pilaf with dried Michigan cherries.
Asparagus with lime mayo.
Beer.

It feels good to be cooking again.

[And to have achieved ... grouper.]

Pizza from Pizza Boli's. Half sausage, half pepperoni.

Pan seared salmon rubbed with a "Moroccon" spice blend (equal parts curry powder, whole cumin, whole corriandor, whole anise seed, whole fennel seed, and black pepper corns, freshly ground together), served with a simple acorn squash roasted with a little butter, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Simple preparation and very complimentry flavors.

Leftover med-rare rolled, smoked veal shoulder and mustard on good multi-grain bread. Kudos to Wegmans, who sell veal worth eating.

Water buffalo yogurt from Trader Joe's. Strawberry flavor by Woodstock. Goooood stuff. Go try some today, seriously!

It's really thick, almost like a custard with very little whey, if any at all. Much thicker than Total Greek Yogurt. Very mild and not tangy, which is good.

It soothes the craving for something rich and creamy. This is my second one of the day.

Doesn't it have like 8 or 12 grams of fat per serving????

A mini Clark bar and mini O'Henry bar. How do some of these old candy bars hang on? I don't think I've ever seen one of either of these being eaten outside of Halloween.

Short latte from Starbucks, and a Mini almond Joy.

Good question, Chris. I haven't seen a Clark bar in forever.

Mini-Snickers bar and peanut m&ms. Thank goodness my kids are anti-nut! More for Mama!

Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too much candy left over from Halloween. One more milk dud and I swear to Pete, I'll explode.

For a random piece of useless information. The old Clark bar factory is located right in downtown Pittsburgh next to the sports stadiums. The neon sign on the roof is prominant in my childhood memories.I believe it is closed now, but for about 20 years the best place to get liquored up before Steelers or Pirate games was a bar located on the premises called, you guessed it, the "Clark Bar"

12g (7g saturated) per 6oz serving. What is your point?

Sesame and honey cashews from Trader Joe's - don't know how I didn't find these earlier

Smarties. Why do I feel so dumb, though?

craving something sweet, yet trying to avoid the big bag of leftover candy--Maple & Brown Sugar Frosted Mini-Wheats

The American ones or the yummy chocolate Canadian/UK ones?

Death Pasta from Luigis. Very delicious but so rich.

Death Pasta (n): Pasta of Death. Carbonara. Utterly delicious, but with the eggs, cream, and bacon, how is this stuff NOT taking a solid five minutes off the bottom line of your life ledger. See also: Death Sandwich [chicken carbonara sandwich from Quiznos].

Yeap, but it's some good stuff. You're about to loose your foodie status by questioning the fat content of something!

'Sides, I row 4x's a week and go to the gym every day. That's the only way I can eat the way I do!

I like to toss in a few fresh shucked peas - that way I feel like it balances the equation.

Just finished a meal of ravioli stuffed with butternut squash (roasted butternut squash, butter, Parmasean, fresh nutmeg, salt and pepper) , and topped with a hazelnut butter sauce (a simple brown butter with ground hazelnuts added when the first tinge of brown appears, take off the heat when it foams, and add a little salt and pepper), and an herb roasted pork loin. The herbs were a mix of dry herbs brought back from our recent trip to Italy -- it had rosemary, parsley, garlic, juniper, and salt.

Wow, that sounds good.

I'm eating a club panini from the Lawson's near my office. Not bad, but I'd rather have your pasta.

Homemade roasted butternut squash soup seasoned with curry and ginger.
mmmm... a little too thick but still hits the spot.

bourbon on the rocks,

Humboldt Fog. God I love this cheese.

(FWIW, Balducci's in Bethesda has changed their cheese display. Most cheeses are still wrapped but don't seem to be held at subzero temps as before and they're stocking smaller quantities. The cheese I've bought there lately is in better condition than I've previously encountered.)

Route 11 "Mama Zuma's Revenge" Habanero chips and a half-melted iced latte.

I had to do some shopping at the Cabin John Mall, so that means sushi! Eel roll, spicy scallop roll, tuna nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, from the Momo Taro carryout.

Leftovers:

Horseradish, garlic and rosemary crusted prime rib
Scalloped potatos
Roasted red onions with honey and basalmic vinegar
Homemakde ginger bread

I may have outdid myself last night

Homemade pineapple upside down cake. A BIG piece. I feel sick.

Cookies.

Chinese Slop from the Fargut West Food Court...Some of the worst egg drop soup I have ever throw out. Tomorrow I am brown bagging it.

Meyer lemon panna cotta.

A truly awesome cheeseburger (from the work dining room; it's their best "dish" IMO).

Lewes Dairy eggnog, with a shot of Mount Gay (extra old) rum.

Standing at the kitchen counter, shucking and slurping Chesapeake Bay oysters, paired with a wonderful '04 Sancerre.

Pralines.

if you only knew what that meant in French...

homemade marshmallows. sssssssugar.
