I picked up a veggie sandwich for lunch from a juice shop on University. Pretty good, but it’s $8 USD.

I made a fast garlic and kale soup tonight for dinner. I pretty much used this recipe, but used potatoes instead of wheat berries, and didn’t add any mushrooms. It really needs mushrooms, if I ever make this again.

I felt like a veggie burrito from Taco Rey for lunch. They use vegetable oil, not lard, for their refried beans.

I use about 15g of oil a day. When I fry up breakfast or dinner, I use about 8g of oil to cook. When I make a mixing bowl full of Chinese no-chicken salad, I use 8g of sesame oil. This totals (15g/day)(9cal/g) = 135 calories/day. I’m not worried about it. 15g of oil a day may increase my % of calories from fat from 20% to 25%. That still keeps me at a pre-industrial level 🙂

I stopped by Assenti’s fresh pasta store this morning. I picked up some fresh Roma tomatoes from Mona Lisa across the street, to make a pomodoro+basilico sauce (yes, there’s olive oil). I ate 150 g of the whole grain penne, and puréed 6 tomatoes in the sauce.

I need to buy another 10 lb bag of potatoes. I went through the bag in 2 weeks, which is about 320g/day (3/4th of a pound per day). I’ll try to measure my total potato consumption (Russet/sweet/New) over the next month. I’ll aim for 450g/day (one pound a day).

G-d I love cereal. Shredded Wheat, blueberries, banana, and almond milk. I’d order this as dessert if it were on the menu.

I had a Larabar before spin, then came home and made a salad and a veggie burger. I’ll be hungry in a little bit, and will eat again.

I wanted to make a healthier version of the starch I buy at Rubios, so I tried to make spanish rice with brown basmati rice.  It turned out almost perfect, except the rice was a little al dente. I cooked it a little longer, and fixed it.

I had Top Ramen again for dinner, and a 425g sweet potato, and I made some salad rolls with rice noodles.  So with the rice, bean, and veggie burrito, I’m definitely over 2lbs of starch today.  I also had some cantaloupe, grapefruit, strawberries, and an apple.  Plus, I drank at least a litre of Tab.
