For lunch today I made a packet of Knorr-Lipton Pasta Sides, stroganoff flavor; it was followed by a Haagen Dazs ice cream bar (mint, with dark chocolate coating). Far from healthy, but tasty and satisfying. 🙂 ---

Today – the other half of the tuna – again with the 12-grain toast and the lettuce. Since I’ve already had two peaches today, though, I’m having a cookie for dessert. ---

Any number of yummy things. I’m going to The Taste of Colorado. ---

PB&J-- one slice whole wheat bread with natural-style, super chunk peanut butter and homemade peach jam, folded in half. One big, fat, juicy peach, a handful of baby carrots, and one of those wee little 8 oz glass bottles of Coke Classic. Life is good 🙂 ---

Don’t know about lunch, but dinner is going to be smoked sausage with peppers and onions! Yummy - one of my favorite meals! ---

[QUOTE=brendon\_small] Pastaroni! I bought a few boxes because they are good and at only 1.05 a box, I couldn’t resist. I am a college kid, after all. I’m eating the kind with thin thin noodles and parmesean cheese type of sauce. Plus, a pepsi! Brendon [/QUOTE] Wow, you’ve aged quickly… last I saw of you, you were eight. How are Melissa and Jason doing?\* 😉 Man I love that show… ---

Salami, green beans, pickles, hummus, and a can of root beer. ---

I’ve been trying my hand at _rassam_, a South Indian tomato soup. I made a single serving bowl for myself today and it’s…okay. Needs a lot more kick and I’m highly disappointed at my _kadippatta_ leaves, which dried out in the fridge (unlike my parents, I am not growing a grove clandestinely in the basement) and thus are not imparting much kadippatta flavour. I have some huge beefsteak?? tomatoes from last week’s farmer’s market that I de-skinned and then froze. I was going to make a big batch of rassam but I think I’m going to split it between an easier Indian tomato soup and tomato-basil soup while I perfect my rassam technique.
