Hot dogs from Yocco’s in PA. Apparently it’s somewhat famous, so we went.
Very unassuming place. The line at the drive through and inside at the counter suggest that it’s good. As soon as you enter, you’re asked for your order in a soup-nazi kind of way.
2 hot dogs with chili, onions, mustard. Side of fries. Water. The water was probably the healthiest part, but totally enjoyable anyway.
In Maine we have hot dogs that are red. (Not all the hot dogs here are red, but there’s a Maine-made brand that has a red casing)
Th: two siggi yogurts, red grapes, ranch mini Club crackers, honey mustard pretzel goldfish
We were out on the boat so I needed “grab random packable items”
Leftover homemade cous cous with onion, parsley, olive, sun dried tomatoes, cucumber, and probably a few more things
Coconut shrimp
Corn bread
today I had like 600 calories of whole-milk honey-vanilla. greek gods yogurt. I got hungry in Target and that was something I could eat in the car. I managed to polish off most of the 32-oz container before I realized it… which is fine.
Maine Lunch IPA, oysters rockafeller, dungeoness crab, crawfish boil, crab cake, lobster ravioli, oysters on the half, oyster shooters.
Edit to add: hepatitis
Basic post-ride sandwich for lunch…
pepper turkey on multi grain bread,
pepper jack cheese
cole slaw (homemade) in/on the sandwich
sparkling water
brownie bread slice (homemade).
Saturday: 32 oz mix of chocolate and original soymilk, and few hours later a salad w/ hard boiled egg whites, a little bit of yolk, broccoli, three colors of peppers, cuke, and ginger dressing
Sun: some leftover sushi, a bowl of raspberries/blueberries/strawberries, 4 rice cakes with a lot of peanut butter
Just ate lunch while reading a NYT article on what the Boston Bruin’s team chef makes for meals during their rookie development camp. With a bunch of rookies needing to gain some weight, the amount of calories and food choices is impressive and appealing.
(can’t seem to find an online version of the article. Writer is Shinzawa, it may be online in the near future).
As for my lunch - very pedestrian meal by comparison:
grilled ham and cheese sandwich
multi grain chips
handful of chocolate dipped almonds
sparkling water.
smoothie for me for Monday. I blended drinkable yogurt and greek yogurt.
Half a turkey sandwich and 2 fig newtons over at my mom and dads house.
I’m a big fan of grocery store ‘salad’ bars (which I acknowledge are often only loosely salad-based).
It’s like a great mix of leftovers in my fridge, except fresher and yummier and my family isn’t there to judge my weird food preferences.
Today I had a small salad box that included:
There’s no restaurant that would serve up this hell’s brew of randomness and it would take me hours of cooking to make all of this available at once, plus it wouldn’t all fit in my fridge and stay fresh at the same time anyway.
It tasted great to me and cost me a manageable amount of money and took less time to assemble than it took me to write this post and I scarfed it while responding to work emails.
I do this several times a week.
peanut butter, banana, honey on 12 grain bread.
yellow curry w/ carrots, peas, green beans, and pan-fried tofu
As they (kinda) say, variety is the spice of lunch
Had one of my favorite, but very simple lunches . . .
Toasted everything bagel (whole wheat today)
Muenster cheese
Sliced tomato
Has to be an everything kind of bagel.
Has to be muenster. Doesn’t really work as well with other cheeses. Cheese slices are placed on a newly toasted bagel to get just that right amount of melt. Not too much, not too little.
Fresh tomatoes.
Broccoli florets, hummus, cheddar and Parmesan cheese cubes, some baked chicken, an egg and a banana. Adult bento box style.
oatmeal swimming in almond milk
more almond milk to drink
4 rice cakes with the pb you grind at the health food store, which is the best type of pb
ww bread with hummus, hard boiled egg, bartlett pear, handful of dried apricots, handful of almonds dipped in tamari, chocolate rice cake
Pro Bar cookie dough bar, 7 spicy queso ritz bitz, pack of those neon orange cheddar/cheese crackers
I’m in NY today. So, pizza slice with pepperoni. Side salad. Bottle of water.
I think the only time I’ll have a slice is when in NY.
Because whenever I have a slice elsewhere (or in VA/DC), I’m reminded how much better the pizza is in NY.
