What I Eat

Here is what I ate last week. I thought now that I'm airing all my dirty food laundry maybe I would eat better but on the contrary I've been eating "too well", if you know what I mean. I did a few lunges though...

Monday
*lemon water
*chicken yuekgyejang (spicy Korean soup w/chicken, scallion, fern braken, eggs); mixed grain rice w/beans; pickled onion
*lemon water; tj 73% organic dark chocolate (just a small piece - i've had the same chocolate bar for forever)
*dongchimi (white winter daikon kimchi); few bites rice & fried anchovy - a little snack desperately needed when I got home from work
*skirt steak w/romesco; toasted israeli couscous w/light grating of parmigiano reggiano; broccolini w/mashed up garlic, rosemary & chile de arbol (leftover marinade from skirt steak)

*daikon soup; mixed grain rice w/beans; banchan - dongchimi, chive kimchi, radish kimchi, fried anchovies - i love kimchi as you can tell
*1 tiny bite vanilla tofutti dipped in leftover almond praline which I gave to Mom (I studded the exposed sides with the praline crumbles I saved from way before - my motto is reduce waste!)

God i haven't had a slice of Abbott's in a while. I miss their mushroom/olive pesto slice. Awesome.

i have yet to try Abbott's. i think that you were pretty good with your eating habits. however, i can see that if kimchi was taken out of the equation, you would be starving.

hi dylan,

i can't seem to stray away from the bianca. it's just so garlicky and delicious. and you know koreans are #1 consumers of garlic. :D

hi hannah,

we should go down there together some time. i've also been wanting to do afternoon tea and jin patisserie which is on the same street. if i didn't have kimchi i would wither and die. seriously.
