Sunday, all over again

Yesterday's splurge was a little bit disappointing, I'm sorry to say.  I work at the library every other Saturday, and it was my work Saturday yesterday.  We ordered out for Chinese food from a place that is relatively new to us, called China 1.  My husband and I have been very disappointed in the quality of Chinese food nearby, but this one has fairly good reviews on Yelp.  We gave them a try a couple times, and while it didn't wow us, it was still better than anything else we've had outside the District.  So several of us at work ordered lunch to be delivered.  It took almost twice as long to come as they said it would (55 minutes instead of 30, which left me with 10 minutes to choke down my lunch - on the one day I can eat what I want! - before I had to run out to the reference desk.

Plus it just wasn't very good.  I ordered the chicken w/cashew nuts lunch special, and the food was so bland and blah.  The vegetable fried rice was mushy.  The cashews were soggy.  It was pretty depressing.

But anyway, whine whine whine.  I did start out the day with a Krispy Kreme doughnut, so all was not lost!

I'm going to plan better next time, that's for sure!


So, back to eggs for breakfast.  And turkey bacon.  I also heated up some of the soup that I made last Friday.  Still not appetizing so soon after I wake up, but what can you do?


For lunch I made a salad with tuna, cucumber, pinto beans, shredded carrots and red onions in a balsamic vinaigrette.  Plus more soup.



For dinner we made tacos, but I did mine like lettuce wraps, and they were delicious.  I did miss the cheese, but still, I had guacamole on there, and it was good!  There were black beans, diced chicken breast, red onions, cilantro, guacamole, and tomatoes.  They weren't quite as filling as tacos with tortillas, so I had three.  Oink.
