Eat Food, Day 5

Day 5 began with a few goals in mind: go to my Japanese lesson, take a walk in the sunshine, and eat steamed vegetables for dinner. I hit all three points, but not as planned.

Yesterday I found bakery-baked bread with no preservatives, just flour and yeast listed in the ingredients, so I bought a half a loaf. We had toast with natural peanut butter for breakfast, a nice break from muesli. Before leaving for my Japanese lesson, I used the bread again to make a sandwich of juicy ripe tomato, lettuce, and a bit of Marmite. I also treated myself to some bananas yesterday and had one of those with my light lunch.

After class, I visited Jim in his new apartment and went to work helping him and Ben clean the place up a bit. We took a break for lunch (#2 for me, but very welcome) around 3, and Ben and I picked up some deli dishes at Origin Bento. I did my best to pick Food, but I am sure that commercial mayonnaise isn’t Food, so I sort of blew it on the broccoli and shrimp salad bit. The simmered greens with sesame were Food, and some of the other salads were probably as well. Overall, I could have done worse for an impromptu take-away meal.

We finished up and I left at 7 to walk home. It wasn’t in the sunshine, but it was a great hour long stroll. I got home and took a shower (my feet were black on the bottom!) and Tod & I cooked dinner together. The meal we made wasn’t quite what I had in mind and it wasn’t quite what he had in mind, but it combined elements of both into something pretty tasty. Seasoned grain and steamed vegetables are certainly Food! I’ll post the recipe separately.

Then I slumped into bed. Yay, summer.

Oh, I’m relieved to find that eating out may still mean eating food! :)
