Sunday, August 19: Trading with Joe for Dinner

I followed Tina's suggestion to visit Trader Joe's frozen section and sure enough they seem to have some decent things there! A lot of the stuff is organic with little preservatives and not much cancer-inducing ingredients it looks like. I picked up a few things, and tonight I had Trader Giotto's Pesto Pizza.. After 11 minutes in the oven I had something that tasted pretty decent and was warm for once! Awesome.

Wine: Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet-Sauvignon 2005. While I was at Trader Joe's I picked up a couple of bottles < $10 as people always talk about them. I like the Mondavi wines that tend to be 2-3 times as much so I figured I'd try that one.. A little young but it worked out nicely :)

Sunday, August 19: Lunch

Light lunch today as I wanted to go out in the sun and time was running tight: multi-grain bread + cheese (emmentaler, appenzeller), bread + nutella (bwahahaha YUM YUM), yogurt, peach, done deal. On the road. Bye!

Sunday, August 12: Dinner

Pretty much skipped dinner on Sunday, just had a banana. (And I'm taking a whole post to describe just that!)

Sunday, August 12: Lunch

"Lunch" happened fairly late in the day given how late I happened to wake up ;) And it was made of the other half of the tuna sandwich (it was pretty yummy.)

Sunday, August 5: Dinner

I did it! I cooked zucchinis! And they tasted really good :)

Tonight's menu: last night's spaghetti a la vince-bonara with fresh grated parmesan, sauteed zucchinis, cheese.

Wine: Geyser Peak Merlot 2001. Ok bottle is out now.

The zucchinis turned out good and I'm quite surprised about it. It involved dicing zucchinis, chopping garlic, using things like pepper & salt & thyme... It's probalby due to the new pan :) However, the spaghetti from last night were really dry after being reheated. There has to be a secret on how to reheat spaghetti. I just put the pot back on very low heat and let it get warm that way, it's probably not the best way. If anyone knows how to do that right please give me a hint! (Note: I do not have a microwave.)

Sunday, August 5: Lunch

Cantaloupe, cold pork with dijon mustard, half-avocado with vince's vinaigrette, yogurt, strawberries and ice-cream.

(I had a few old strawberries laying around so I figured I'd throw them with a bit of sugar in ice-cream and that'd make a good desert :) )
