lunch: barley and veggies
a green juice thing-i forget what its called
water

breakfast: same as today

i'm feeling a bit stagnant in the cooking world, my funds have been low and i want to buy a lot of ingredients but can't afford to, then there is the fact that i've been pretty busy as of late and by the time it gets to feeding times i am usually too drained to prepare anything of interest.

On Sunday I had a weird breakfast at the yurt site in Washington-a half cuppa joe, a low quality bagel "toasted" over a campfire, topped with pb&j, water, later i had a beer. the 10 am beer...ahhh. breakfast of champions, right?
After a brief jaunt on the beach(Amber and I rescued a shored fish!-mostly Amber did and I cheered her on, I tried to pick it up but it jumped away and was all crazy) the crew of the "goonies classic ride" piled up in the cars and we drove back into Astoria where we stopped at the coffee shop that has an orange cup as its sign. Does this cafe have a name? I just refer to it as The Orange Cup. I didn't have any coffee, though they have Stumptown, and I know its good but it was warming up quite a bit and I knew that being in the car for an hour plus wasn't gonna sit well with me anyhow, coffee didn't seem like a choice idea.
Instead I had a breakfast sandwhich : cheese,egg,ham on an english muffin, and a berry pinwheel, and water.

Back in town I had a piece of chocolate(left over from s'mores the night before)and a banana before heading home and contemplating what was the next best thing to eat.
Luckily I didn't have to ponder too long cos I had the good timing to call Nick up right when he was at the grocery store. C'est superb! I suggested salad stuff, for his own good eating but of course I was calling to see if he wanted to meet up over food anyhow, so it worked in my best interest, too. Really I'd just had salad on the mind cos it was hot out and cos I haven't been eating enough produce.
I got some salmon non gratis from the daughter of the people I'm dogsitting for so I brught that and some walnuts-which I forgot about-and some beer (Blue Heron) to contribute. Nick did all the work and I just kicked back sipping my beer. I felt slightly guilty about this but I figured he had it under control, and it was his house so, you know, I was a guest and was allowed to just chill. Normally I'd offer to help(mais oui!) but I was feeling pretty tired and thought it was ok to just veg out for a little while. He tossed together a simple salad and seared the salmon, and we had a nice meal.
That was probably the healthiest dinner I've had in awhile. Saturday night in Astoria I had fish'n'chips, coleslaw(2 sevings cos Christopher wanted nothing to do with his portion), and two pints of IPA, with the clever name of Bitter Bitch. Amber ordered a slice of cheesecake which turned out to be delicious but too much food for her to take in after half a burger so she shared it with whomever, which wound up with me finishing it off. Tasty treats. The name of the joint we were at was The Wet Dog Cafe (or pub?). The food was good, and we got a window seat so we could watch a ship passing by. Fun with dining!

So...whats for lunch?
