I have to say, though, I'm a big fan of eating the shellfish raw with just a bit of lemon juice.

SOLD!
I went to shop before closing to get cheap pączki. Instead I saw cheap grapes and maize. Today I will be cooking chicken legs for dinner so the maize remains for tomorrow breakfast or lunch-time but grapes are going down fast...
Fried rice.
Pizza!

Success! This time I actually got the pączki!
A nap.
We went to a icecreamery/gelato shop in Brisbane yesterday. Seeing the size of the portions I only had two scoops one of caramelised fig and one of tiramisu, and a flat white coffee.

Don't dream about eating giant marshmallows. You'll wake up with your pillow gone and the worst case of cotton-mouth you've ever experienced.
Pork. Probably served with broccoli and potatoes.
Just comming back from 9 days of patriotic celebration (we celebrate the 18th of September of 1810, when our first independent government was formed), and I ate meat literally every single day. There's 10 more pounds of me for the world to love.
So it's cow food week for me. Onion and Mushroom quiche for lunch, graciously sent by my mother yesterday.

This one time, I had this really vivid dream where I was eating this giant marshmallow. It was the strangest thing, because when I woke up...
I will be eating this again today.Ordered in from a new Dominican place. Grilled chicken, rice and beans, fried plantains, and a side salad.
It's good stuff.
Everything tastes better with fried plantains.
Including fried plantains.
Myself today? More green stuff: Asparragus, onion and tomato salad.
Chicken casserole with cheese and rice, pinto beans, corn with chopped red and green sweet pepper, and cornbread with jalapenos baked inside. And a Mt. Dew.
More grapes. What is not to like with before-closing bargain for grapes?
And a bit of cake.
And then a fried pork chop with broccoli and potatoes.
A microwave meal that seemed like a good idea when I bought it.

Ready meals are gambles unless you are familiar with particular brand. But even then their quality can vary.
Last of the leftover Mongolian BBQ. Will need to bring something or go out for lunch tomorrow.

I keep trying to convince my stomach that these little diet microwave meals are enough food for it. It loudly disagrees.A microwave meal that seemed like a good idea when I bought it.

You're usually better off having normal lunch food. A lot of those diet entrees are so full of sodium that you aren't doing yourself any favors by eating them.

Aye aye. Just get yerself some good old vegetables and keep the meals organized (fiber on dinner works great if, like me, you tend to have high levels of uric acid and sugar. Peas or corn, for instance). One egg every day, some milk, some bread. Eat 5 times a day, put apples and oranges in your drawers so you are never too hungry.
Despite my high cholesterol escapades, I've been regularly dropping off pounds just by fixing that part, and all my levels are very close to normal, even though I still get to sport a manly roleplayer belly (I mean, I'm the DM. I have an example to set. Can't be all skinny for the kids). No need to get into overly complicated dietary products; normal food works just as well!
Dinner tonight: Cheese table! Too lazy to cook anything and I have some leftover camamberts, brie, goat, and ranco from last week's holiday. Ginger ale to chug it down.
Hot Pockets. Trying to save money and only eat fridge/freezer stuff rather than going out every day, until winter rolls around and A.) It's too cold to go shopping and thus I have a great excuse to order delivery and B.) I start working a lot more overtime and thus have more spare cash.

An entire box of Oreos, since I am a responsible adult who can make good decisions.
Sandwiches with sausage. And APPLES!
Meeting a couple of friends at the Ruby Tuesday down the street. Planning to get those spicy chicken wings with tartare sauce.
But... But... You usually eat so well...
Maybe the Ruby Tuesdays in Chile are better than the ones in the States.
Well, you have to understand that places like Ruby Tuesday, Applebees, Fridays, and the like serve a different kind of food than what we're used to. It may contain most of the same ingredients, but the preparations are unusual. For instance, stuff like onion rings and fried shrimp are not part of the standard Chilean diet, so it's sort of a change of pace.
I don't know if they are representative of US cuisine, but I think you guys have some very interesting flavours and textures.

Seemingly familiar chains can be really different in foreign countries. In the States, KFC is gross, but here in China it is actually quite good. The Chinese also turned Pizza Hut into a fancy restaurant with tablecloths and a matire d' and everything. I have no idea why.

Yeah, a friend of mine recently came back from China and told me the exact same thing, with KFCs being surprisingly excellent and Pizza Hut being a fancy place.
Here in Poland KFC is modestly nice. I hadn't contact with Pizza Hut, there is enough of local pizzerias.

They love KFC in China. China is actually the only country in the world with more KFC franchises than MacDonalds.
Lunch for today: Reineta on a tomato, garlic, rosemary, and onion bed. I left it juicing up last night on the vegetables and white wine sauce (reinetas have a very mild flavour, so to really get it done nicely you have to leave it sucking in from the vegetables for several hours), with a siding of mashed potatoes.

Parm-roasted broccoli, brown rice with garlic and some chorizo in it, and store brand diet coke.

I first read that as PAM-roasted broccoli. After reading the menu there, I was hoping she catered.

The roasted broccoli recipe is delicious; even my broccoli-hating dad likes it. Plus it's extremely easy. I don't even chop or peel the garlic like the recipe calls for, just let the cloves oven roast in their peel and it comes out soft and mild and sweet... perfect for spreading on toast or just poping it in your mouth with a fork-full of broccoli.
Ina's roasted eggplant dip is even tastier.
Got a few fries and a piece of chicken out of KFC. It was quite good. Not as good as home-made but good.
Hardee's bacon burger.
Mushrooms fried with onion served with potatoes.
Also apples.
I think I'll go and eat an apple.
Pizza and cheesecake.
