Day One Hundred Eighteen

Breakfast

• peppers & eggs with parmesan and black pepper
• vegetarian bacon
• Triscuits
• watermelon

By and large you can't mess with perfection. Unfortunately this watermelon was perhaps the worst watermelon I've ever had... it was practically flavorless and so mushy it fell apart in my mouth. I ate it all anyway since yknow, lycopene, but still. Blech.

Snack

• garlic & onion soy crisps
• light cranberry juice

Even though these chips were mostly crumbs, they were delicious and very enjoyable. I will admit, after I tired of picking up individual pieces with my fingertips, I started laying my tongue down on the plate and gathering a mouthful. Disgusting, yes, but a highly-recommended method of consumption.

Lunch

• tomato & broccoli cheese casserole (made with whole wheat vermicelli)
• cranberry juice (not pictured)

I've been procrastinating preparing this meal for days, but when faced with letting several dollars' worth of tomatoes go bad, I forced myself to cook. It's never as bad as I think it will be, but the amount of steps and dishes I have to dirty in the process always discourages me. Fortunately, it is exceedingly flavorful, so my efforts were well rewarded.

At the time I actually forgot to pick a fruit to go with it (fearing the watermelon remaining in my fridge), but I kept sipping cranberry juice until it added up to a serving size and decided that was adequate.

Dinner

• tomato & broccoli cheese casserole

Of course perhaps the best part of making this dish is that I get to eat it twice, though the let-down once I've finished the second serving is immeasurable. I am beginning to think I should perhaps quadruple the recipe to make it stretch a little more, but since I always eat one serving in a row after another, I'm not sure I can handle four meals of casserole... who am I kidding, of course I could!

I found myself again with no desire for fruit but a high desire for more cranberry juice, and so I supplemented accordingly again.
