I forgot for a sec...Then I remembered - Natalie

I have not posted here for a long time and when I clicked for a new post I forgot for a sec what I had for lunch today. Is that a sign of aging? I wondered what it would be like months or years from now, I may never remember today's date or worst plunged into a total nightmare of forgetting my name and my home address. So there I was staring at the screen thinking. Wait, what was I thinking?

Oh yeah...my lunch today was a Granola bar.

Marinated and cooked in salt, soy sauce, black pepper, vinegar, olive oil, water, and garlic Chicken adobo a Filipino specialty close to my heart - my fav and probably the only food I know well how to cook. The distinc aroma seeping through my nose reminds me of grandma when she was still alive. Such a lovely lovely memory...

White Chocolate Macadamia

YUP! You're reading it right - I had cookies from Brent and Sam's for lunch - White Chocolate Macadamia dipped in a glass of milk. Got it from Fairway Market the other day. Definitely bad for the diet plan but worth a try while working from home. *LOVE IT*  Plus my body deserves to be spoiled after shoveling that pile of unbelievable heavy snow. I am one of the unfortunates - I hear my muscles crunching...

Saturday, Beef Kare Kare

Had a full plate of Beef Kare Kare (Filipino version of the beef stew flavored and thickened in a peanut - based sauce, with a variety of vegetables). My sister cooked it for me and all I have to do is provide a complement (a real good one of course) and I was on my way through licking the very last sauce on the plate.

Friday, Natalie is Thinking...

I'm still thinking what to eat for lunch. I just burned few calories and eating seems to be at the bottom of my list. I'll probably have soup too...or maybe just a granola bar again. Hmmm....

Lunch @ Home

It was snowing when I got up this morning so I decided to work from home today. In turn I get to eat homemade chicken adobo with white rice. Then I had three pieces of almond clusters chocolates and later on I was finishing up a pack of M&M. Wasn't that all enough, I headed for a bowl of chocolate ice cream and finished it with a glass of water. So much for diet and exercise huh! That is why it's not safe for me to stay home all day. Not at all!!!

Fish vs. Granola

I’m not sure how to describe this but I’m going to try…

While getting out of the cafeteria today my phone vibrated so I took it with my free hand while the other is holding a styrofoam platter of grilled tuna fish and sweet corn on the side. It was a long chat so I decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Right after the last tread of the stairs I tripped with my platter flying straight to the floor. I ended up attacking a Granola bar for lunch!

Sunday, Leftovers

I just ate leftover foods from last night's dinner in Queens - ate in front of Grey’s Anatomy (I'm catching up with my recorded show). I had a tasty and still crispy schnitzel with yellow rice along with a left over kibbeh partially dipped with Tahini. Now I’m sleepy once again…whatta cloudy day we have now and it's past 1PM (EST) here.

How not to miss lunch?

I made sure to bring something from home to work today. I got the Hot pockets sitting in my fridge - just waiting for me to grab it. I was surprised because it was delicious (though I burned my tongue a bit after the first bite!).

So I got the Chicken & Cheddar with Broccoli in a seasoned herb crust. I couldn't remember how much I paid for it but believe me when I say it's delicious for such little simple looking pocket.
