broccoli | Running the Windy City

Because I’m leaving for Michigan early tomorrow, the plan right now is not to open or buy any groceries that will go bad before Ian and I get back next Monday. Leftovers are yummy so I’m not complaining, but they do make for pretty boring blog eats.

Dinner was reheated twice baked potatoes (no complaining about the redundancy here ) with some pan-fried terriyaki broccoli.

Just look at how huge that potato is!

I could only eat about 3/4 of it and I sat down to dinner starving!

Dinner was the only thing that could quench my chocolate craving, some dark chocolate sorbet with Christmas sprinkles and one eggnog covered almond.

Definitely did the trick. The sorbet is so good, hard to believe its not full fat ice cream.

On a totally different note, remember earlier when I said that I was going to get my haircut? Well I decided to dye it dark brown as well.

Eek! It turned out much darker than I thought! I like the color but am unsure of it on myself. I really really hope its just an adjustment thing and that it will grow on me soon.

Off to finish up laundry and pack for my trip tomorrow!

Ah! Where has all of my motivation gone? I was so diligent about studying for the last week and a half that I think I’ve just reached my saturation point.

Anyway, my exam this morning went well. It was in a statistic computing class so the exam was in the computer lab and we had to write and use code to answer the questions. We were actually given two tries to take the exam but I was happy with my score after the first attempt and walked out of class early. Nice!

I went to the student lounge to study and eat lunch. I’m pretty sure I’ve talked about this before but I consider myself super lucky that my school has several microwaves for students to use. This saves money for commuters like myself, as we don’t have to buy food on campus everyday.

I heated up some leftover chickpeas, rice, and spinach

But this was really the star of my lunch. Best hot sauce EVER. It tasted so good on top of the blandish chickpeas and rice. I love heat in my food!

I also munched on some grapes while studying.

After practicum I was pretty hungry so I made a snack to tide me over until dinner and to prevent later snackage. I heated up a banana choco vitatop and crumbled it over some greek yogurt and kefir (good combo!)

All mixed up

I spent the afternoon ~~studying~~ err playing iassociate2 on my phone and wasn’t too upset to take a break to make some dinner

Another easy dinner tonight due to exam week. Ian and I shared the last of the roasted corn and red pepper soup and had some shrimp bao (another golden TJs find- but more on this another time). I also stir fryed from baby broccoli in canola oil and a touch of sesame oil with garlic.
