I ate one. That was all it took to realize it was too spicy for me.

Since I forgot to post last night, yesterday (Friday) was the day a tend to eat out:

Yesterday breakfast: Two eggs over easy, toast with butter and jam  
Yesterday lunch: A gyro and a side of fries from a new Mediterranean restaurant.  
Yesterday dinner: A charburger from Habit Burger, and roasted cauliflower, which is their seasonal side. I didn’t feel like more fries since I had those for lunch.

Today breakfast: Nothing. It’s Saturday. I slept in.  
Today lunch: Tuna sandwich, and the remaining fries from yesterday’s lunch.  
Today dinner: I have a [Texas style chili](https://www.seriouseats.com/real-texas-chili-con-carne) on the stove as a type this. I’ll probably garnish it with cheese, sour cream, scallions, cilantro, and tortilla chips.

Dinner: Dover sole poached in white wine served over white rice with a sauce made from the poaching liquid (onions, white wine, lemon juice, butter, brown sugar and paprika)

About 4000 M&Ms from the leftover Halloween candy bowl, handfuls of almonds and dates.

</div>

Brunch: I had some leftover black beans in the fridge, and some leftover chipotle chilis in adobo sauce from last night’s chili. So I made a sort of huevos rancheros – a tortilla with fried eggs topped with the black beans mixed some of the chilis and some of the adobo sauce.

Dinner: Cod in a garlic lemon butter with some pine nuts, roasted Brussels sprouts, and cous cous.

A leftover cold spinach-ricotta manicotti from Aldi I baked last night in spaghetti sauce. It was blah.

</div>

A glass of water with my morning pills after I’d been up for about an hour and half (started laundry & did some clean up before I came downstairs). About an hour after that I had a Noosa yogurt (raspberry) with 2/3 cup of coffee.

About an hour after that I had a small bag of Calbee baked shrimp chips with an Orangina chaser.

I’ll probably have a ham sandwich for dinner to use up the ham we got last Thursday. With a glass of water.

That’s wise. The basic unit of consumption is one bag. Best if it’s a small bag.

Interim 2: more iced oatmeal cookies.
