Lunch Log: Week 219
More beer-related schenanigans this weekend, so it was a miracle to find the motivation to get a lunch packed. But having leftovers makes short of excusing oneself from cooking everything from scratch at least. August 29 Partying hard was not a good idea but fun was had, resulting in odd leftovers. Lunch is marinated rare […]
Lunch Log: Week 218
A full week of bento again, but not necessarily the best for my waistline. Especially when one’s in no mood and needs some motivation – in the form of food. Am I a Pavlov’s Kat? I got to use a ‘contraband’ item this week, but I was mistaken that it’s not the ‘raw’ form of […]
Lunch Log: Week 217
Not going to lie, if I allowed myself to be lazy I’d probably order more curry in and accelerate the rate of my expansion. When one does crave it at home and makes it, it’s very telling from the amounts of oil involved. Gah, why are the tastiest cuisines normally the worst for you?! August […]
Lunch Log: Week 216
Some stirring in the household; though whispers of “carb free” are present I am not bound to such things to avoid the creations of victims by an angry me. Though I know many people with stunning results to withhold complex carbohydrates, I am afraid the consequences would be dire if one were to force me […]
Lunch Log: Week 215
I think it’s getting a little too repetitive saying I’m “on a diet” – it’s a little obvious that I’m cutting back due to the massive amounts of food I can put away without the metabolism to handle things. Likewise, it’s obvious when I’m not trying to stay to smaller portions. Anyway, something about being […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 214
It’s nice to have a weekend with a household inspired to do foodie things together, but as the week powers on it tends to be short-lived. At least there was a reasonable supply of ingredients to work with and decent-enough weather to get through! July 25 I guess there are worse things to be than […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 213 (and bonus recipe)
As good as very fresh peas are, I’ve not been adventurous as of late – lots of work and other real-life shenanigans. I’d like to put in effort into something like sushi but the availability of ingredients and cutting my rice intake is not helping; so it’s a slew of fairly easy items that barely […]
Lunch Log: (Sorta-diet edition) Week 212
I have lots to be thankful for my workplace – as a small tech company they still remain rather down-to-earth in contrast to careening mindlessly into an aggressive ‘Silicon Valley’ (or in this case: fen) mentality. Oh but they still do keep their traditions (we may be outside Cambridge, but this is still technically is […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 211
Summer months mean the first ‘proper’ wave of festivals so I’ve been feeling exhausted and cautious with filling the house with ingredients – so it’s another stash-heavy week. One addition though is the more steady use of cucumber – which is in my mind easier to deal with lettuce for taste or portions (iceberg) or […]
Lunch Log: (Diet edition) Week 210
I wasn’t thinking I might try to recreate a pretty famous bento at the start of the week – it just so happened that my original plans at the onset just didn’t really align… at all. I was planning to peak at having a veggie “katsu curry” and be damned the remaining days with whatever […]
