Today, it was leftover linguine with bacon and tuna sauce, a salad, an apple, and a pot of jasmine green tea.
Vegetable salad with toasted buns with cheese.
Spaghetti squash, for the third day in a row. :/
You put something on it, right?
Mandatory lunchtime meeting today. At least they sprung for pizza!
BBQ Pulled pork with hickory smoky sauce and potato salad.
Will be Sonic today due to half-price cheeseburgers

Chicken breast I left marinating in white wine and then coated in a crust of honey, mustard, and pepper, along with some garlic rice.
If it goes well, it should provide a sweet & spicy crunch on the outside and a juicy softness on the inside.
I expect to post here more often when I return home back to living (and alone and cooking for myself.
This week, nothing special - last week, however, I cooked a mutton, spinach and chickpea curry that was an absolute triumph, even if I do say so myself. Will definitely make it again (and in greater quantity), assuming I can find somewhere else that sells mutton...
Chips at work as a breakfast. Baked beans (Polish recipe known as beans a la Breton - tomato sauce, sausages, bacon, and other meats, no sugar) for dinner and now I am nibbling on cheese.

My little sister is visiting for the day, so I'm making pepper-crusted avocado cheeseburgers. Just add oil, melt some butter, add black pepper and then sear the burgers with the mix.
Back at home, and back to cooking for myself.
Today a slice of fried pork, served with potatoes and beetroot mash (bought at shop, I won't be spending hours needed to make it properly). Yummi!
Make it three slices.
Repeat from yesterday going on until I finish that lovely kilogram of pork I have (which should be for two to four days). With possible pickled cucumbers or something completely else instead of beetroots.

Pizza soup.
... recipe?
But I need to get up from computer and actually prepare the food.

Pizza soup.... recipe?
It's more or less just pizza sauce (with meat and other "toppings") that you eat with a spoon. I suppose the consistency might be slightly different, but that's basically what it is. The material difference between pizza sauce/toppings and "pizza soup" is how you perceive it more than how you prepare it.
Lunch: 97¢ frozen manicotti entrée, with extra cheddar grated on top and leftover crumbled bacon.
Dinner: Chili (with beans) with parents.
Dinner was the same as yesterday.
Now I finished a piece of rather cheap Bree Brie from Tesco and will be eating peach yoghurt in a moment.
Two corns.
Kaiser roll and pepper sausages.
Lunch was 97¢ frozen BBQ rib dinner with two cups-ish of fresh cantaloupe.
Dinner was cheap, breaded chicken patty and french fries.
This morning I was shocked that, while I had many leftovers in the 'fridge, none were quite appropriate to take for lunch.
I had to take the highly unusual step of making myself a turkey and cheddar sandwich on pumpernickel with sliced tomatoes.
Chicken leg boiled with carrots (leaving a broth for tomorrow, or maybe late evening today) with potatoes and red cabbage.
Had a ham & swiss grilled cheese and scrambled eggs+melted cheddar+hot salsa for breakfast.
Skipping lunch, still feel full.
Today: leftover rigatoni with meatballs and marinara sauce, a garden salad, two apples, and a pot of jasmine tea.
A quest for food is awaiting me! (or I could just make an instant soup and get some potatoes to it...)
"Lumberjack's" bread with some cheese for now. Pierogi later.
Chinese buffet place.

Tried the local Indian buffet. Asked a bunch of co-workers if anyone wanted to try it out with me, but this being Pittsburgh, all of them said, "No, thanks, I don't eat weird food." One guy insisted on talking me through a Ben Stiller movie I'd already seen. So I went myself.
$7 later, I had some pickled cauliflower, along with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers in yoghurt, as an appetizer -- followed by chicken vindaloo with rice and nan, some extra grilled tandoori chicken, and some wonderfully crisp fried broccoli. Finished with some mixed vegetable curry over more rice, and a handful of cardomom seeds. Considering I couldn't purchase the raw ingrediants for $7 here, I'm fairly pleased with the excursion!

Hey now...
Tandoori chicken is one of the best things ever. There's an Indian buffet place here as well that serves awesome tandoori chicken and chicken marsala. I always make sure to get some of both every time I go there.

Hey now...
There are reasons that you and Ruby are our two favorite Pittsburgh people.
Well, mostly it's your cats -- but I suppose there's other reasons, too!;P

$7? I got an Indian meal in Norwich for ten pounds (well, actually 8 and a half or something like that but I left a tip) and it was much more basic than what you got :(
After gorging on bread earlier I felt too full (or it could be terribly cheap cola fault... strange because I drank it before without problems and it was better tasting too - but the six pack of pepsi I bought and drank last weekend might have increased my current palate requirements). Now I am slowly getting space inside and getting closer to making myself a modest serving of pierogi for the dinner.
Mmmm, Shepard...
Today's lunch: 97¢ frozen BBQ "rib" dinner with leftover King's Kawaiian dinner roll

King's Kawaiian dinner roll
LOL typo.
Coworker made salsa queso and provided chips so lunch today was nachos, plus a slice of pretzel-crust cheese pizza brought in by another coworker. Yay free food!
Bread with cheese and some cake.

Chicken in Thai Curry Sauce. Or close to, as it was ready mix from a bag that was never in Thailand.
Bacon, stir-fried funnel chanterelles, and whatever kind of pasta I have in the kitchen cupboard.
Pork ham fried with apple and some scallions served with potatoes.

Thinking I'm going here today.
