Lucky Accident

The Mouse forgot to pack his breakfast the other day (cubicle eating). Nearest thing to the workplace is a health food store. The Mouse’s main hesitation are the prices, way up there.

Original thought was to just pick up some kinda energy bar, stumbled across a clearance container of curry quinoa salad. Original price was over five dollars for about a third of a pound, marked down to $1.99. Winner (energy bar prices were over two dollars and more).

Curry Quinoa

Small bits of vegetables and raisins (maybe currants), mostly for color The Mouse thinks. The Mouse didn’t go hungry. 🙂

Lesson learned, pack lunch, prescriptions and vitamins, and water bottle the night before.

Stay safe and well.

Quinoa Salad

From Costco, The Mouse’s lunch.

Quinoa Salad

Quinoa, cucumber, tomato, parsley, oil and vinegar dressing (The Mouse guesses), mung beans. The Mouse added capers with a little of the brine. Mmm, pretty healthy The Mouse thinks. 🙂

The Mouse made the mistake of going to Costco on an empty stomach. Hee. Had to consciously retrain.

The Cat and The Mouse going hunting for ma-po tofu, The Cat’s been jonesing for weeks. Let you know if we succeed.

Stay safe and well.

Ramen!

Saturday. “Business” meeting lasted a longer than expected. Drive home, prep and cook, wash dishes, a little overwhelming. Try a new-ish ramen shop.

Sign

The Cat translated to “smooth wind”.

Hee hee.

House-Made Gyoza

The Cat’s and The Mouse’s opinion? One of the best! Both socks off.

Manic Saturday

Where’s The Bangles when you need them.

Both The Cat and The Mouse worked on Saturday. 😦

The Mouse was planning to pick up tacos from Chef D, didn’t make it. Settled for take-out from the nearby health food store. I know, sigh.

Pork Sandwich

Quinoa Salad
Garbanzo Bean Salad
Oatmeal Cookie

Everything was not bad, the sandwich was pork loin, not pork belly, the salads were okay. My only complaint, the cookie was dry, like what I would imagine styrofoam. Sigh.

Dinner was suuuuuper late. The Cat got delayed at work, by the time she came out, most eating choices were closed. Ended up at Zippy’s with the late night crowd, at the counter.

Turkey Vegetable Soup
Added Rice and Mac Salad Meal
Portuguese Bean Soup

Zippy’s is one of the few, if not only, place where for an added dollar something, rice and salad is added to soup to make a meal. Good deal. Just enough for a late night meal.

It’s still only February, there’s March and April to go. Woohoo.

Enjoy. Eat well.
