- Special K red berries with skim milk
Even when I'm in a different state, I still have my stand-bys. Hard to argue with simplicity.
Lunch
- hamburger on potato roll with ketchup
- mesclun salad with fat-free Italian dressing
- blueberries
My father repeatedly said that I had the best hamburger cooked in New Jersey today... and I may have to agree. I forgot how wonderful blueberries were, particularly fresh New Jersey berries - they were divine. I'm so happy to find decent produce, and I wish more markets in Brooklyn were better stocked (I can't believe I'm saying that, considering all the farmer's markets in NY... but the ones closest to my apartment are dreadful).
Dinner
- grilled chicken breast with green beans and tater tots
- sliced strawberries sprinkled with Splenda
While my dad prepared this chicken for me, he grilled up some sausage patties for my brother, who I knew would eat them with cheese. It was very tempting to give in to the dark side of temptation, but my dad was so accomodating and made such a lovely piece of chicken that I couldn't possibly.
As it turned out, it was delicious and so flavorful - I forget how good chicken can be when it's not cooked in a broiler or stove-top, and it makes me wish sometimes that we had a backyard for grilling, or at least a sidewalk hibachi.
I had the strawberries later for dessert, and they were just a little slice of heaven.
Snack
skipped.
I was up late working on a paper and completely forgot. Ah well.
