HW 6 - Food Diary

One of my favorite places to get food during lunch is a pasta/cheese store which I shall not be naming for privacy concerns. When I go to said pasta/cheese store I will either get the penne auora or sundried tomato, basil and mozzarella sandwich. I went with option number 2. After eating, Bianca and I went down to CVS. I decided not to get anything but Bianca decided to get a Crunch bar. I had a couple of pieces of that.

Afterschool, I decided to go for a walk with Kady in Madison Square Park. Before going to the park we stopped at a food truck. I've never gotten anything from a food truck; unless you count the endless number of ice cream trucks that spread over the city. The food truck we happened upon was The Kelvin Slushie Truck, which Kady's mom had tried out and said was really good. Kady got a ginger mint slushie and I got a citrus pear slushie

When I got home I was a little hungry so I had some dried cranberries; I'm not really sure how many, and a bottle of water (our current tap water is bad). I was going to have some leftover orzo for dinner because my mom and dad were out for the night, but I passed out pretty early (6 or 7). And no, I didn't eat anything before lunch; breakfast is rarely a part of my day.

Today, I had no school so I ate at my internship. Even though I had time this morning for breakfast I really wasn't hungry so I had nothing. At my internship I order my food whenever I come in. The company has an account on Seamless Web which allows everyone working there to order food. My internship gives me 10 dollars to spend on food; including tip and tax. Each day there are three different places I can choose from. Today's choices were Cuban, Deli, and Burgers. I decided to get the "Spinach Rollie". The wrap was made up of a whole wheat wrap, sauteed spinach and mushrooms, accompanied with avocado, honey Dijon mustard, and tomato paste. I was a little skeptic on the Dijon+tomato paste combination but it was the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The internship has 2 kitchens, stocked full with snacks and drinks so I grabbed a peach Snapple iced tea and ate lunch.

I didn't have anything else at internship (although there were some really yummy looking cupcakes left over after a client had left). When I got home my mom made spaghetti with steamed carrots, brussel sprouts and sauteed peppers. I'm not a fan of brussel sprouts so I decided to have some plain snap peas instead.  For snack after dinner I had some dried cranberries (one of my favorite snacks) and because I wasn't completely full from dinner I cooked a frozen broccoli/spinach/potato blintz. I also had a 100% juice pack left over from this summer when I had to bring bagged lunch every day to work and my parents would put one in the bag for me.

I didn't really keep track of my calories for the days; I can probably do some calculations pretty soon.
