Stuffed? Camouflage?

This past weekend, The Mouse bought Chinese parsley for The Cat, she had leftover oxtail soup. Couldn’t finish the whole bunch, a little wilted.

The Mouse put them in ice water for about 1/2 hour. Refreshed. The Mouse thought about getting a banh mi sandwich, but it would’ve been too filling, unscheduled sampling at the warehouse. Opted for half a roasted chicken Subway instead.

Added the Chinese parsley and a couple of shiso leaves to the mini sub.

Sandwich Additions

A little difficult to eat but delicious. Hee hee.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Healthier Instant Noodles?

During tax season, The Cat’s dinners are primarily instant noodles at work. The Mouse tries to pack vegetables, sometimes fresh, sometimes frozen to make it a little more healthy.

Last night, in a show of solidarity, The Mouse had instant noodles too. But since he ate at home, he had a little more resources to make it “healthier”.

The Mouse’s Tray

Instant noodles, no soup packet, pinch of salt and sprinkle of turmeric instead, cauliflower, apple, canned salmon.

The Mouse can’t eat the noodles too often, too much carbs right now, but once in a while.

Maybe next time, The Mouse will prepare the noodles on the dry side, less soup, and add natto to the mix. Hee hee.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Breakfast in the Hand

The Mouse tried a breakfast gordita from Taco Bell over the weekend.

Bite View

Egg, hash browns, bacon, no cheese, pan fried. The Mouse liked the pan frying, lightly crisp on the outside. A little too heavy for frequent eating though. Maybe once in a great while.

Enjoy. Eat well.

The Mouse’s Vegetarian Bowl

Eaten on the same day as the vegetarian chili. Coincidence? Conspiracy? Nah, just in the mood. Hee hee.

Started with.

Deep Fried Tofu

The Mouse said it was vegetarian, not necessarily healthy. Hee hee.

Faux Ground Beef

Same brand as the faux chicken strips The Mouse was not a fan of. The “beef” crumble was much better. The Mouse would buy this “crumble” again. Paw up.

Frozen Spinach

Nuked the whole thing at the warehouse for lunch. Not bad. The Mouse made the mistake of salting the spinach before nuking. The crumple had enough seasoning for the tofu and the spinach without extra salt. Next time, no salting.

So, The Mouse is trying to cut back on the volume and frequency of consuming carbs. Not cutting out entirely, just limiting. At the doctor’s scale yesterday, lost a few pounds, long way to go, but at least going in the right direction. Yay!

Enjoy. Eat well.

Chili, No Meat

The Mouse’s favorite at Zippy’s.

Zippy’s Vegetarian Chili

Their vegetarian choice adds mushrooms and corn to the mix. Mmm.

The Mouse added turmeric and dried parsley. The turmeric added a different taste The Mouse is not opposed to.

Rushing off to another doctor appointment. Ugh! Too many doctors lately. Oh well.

Enjoy. Eat well.
