Praise be, the end is sight. Half an hour, I can hang on that long....

If you put cheese, nuts and fruit on a plate you are certified FANCY.
Whole Foods and Trader Joe's both have pre-made meals you can just heat up for lunch.
This is what JZ had for dinner: [link]

I'm reading a collection of mystery short stories and in the last one I finished the orangutan did it.
I think this day might be defective.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have pretty much talked myself into not eating dinner because it's too much trouble right now, so I don't feel like I can help with that, sj.
Yeah, that's what I had too. I think I ate something today. That's adulting.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have to really watch the carbs--rice and tortellini are pushing it. So are the beans, but with the veg--plus raw carrots and occasional fruit and the protein, I walked that line pretty well. I'd live on bread and pasta if I could...but you know, pasta...or death? Sort of decides itself.
I will not primp veg--it never improves it, and it's a waste of time *for me* and a constant frustration of expectation. So I just won't. There are few that I'll eat raw or steamed, and I went with those.

No, Bev, a Futrelle. I suppose it may have been an elaborate homage but I really feel like, y'know, the orangutan has been done, I don't need to see it again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I make a baked potato with chili poured over for dinner when I am on my own. Or ramen with frozen veggies Thrown in.

Herding cats for fun
The first thing I cooked for myself was English muffins with Dijon mustard, cheddar cheese and a slice of tomato, grilled in the toaster oven. Yum. The next favorite easy dinner was a big russet potato and melted cheese. I felt pretty fancy when I learned how to make spaghetti and French bread pizzas.
Today there are more vegetables and way less cheese on my plate.

My bff insists that I don't eat real meals I eat snacks. And it's often true. But tonight I got takeout from the fancy vegan restaurant and had a tasty tasty salad with tempeh and avocado and grapefruit and stuff. I often eat heated up Trader Joe's frozen dumplings, or pizza rolls, or cheese and meat and crackers, for lunch or dinner.
