Patsy's with Frank

I've never had lunch with Frank before. We had been planning a presentation for weeks and decided on lunch for the big day at a pizza parlor near the building where we were scheduled to present.

I was arriving from my doctors appointment so he ordered... And ended up paying! Was a nice time to get to know a colleague better.

Humpday Chia

More chia, more grapefruit. In preparation for a big day. Steering committee meeting 10-11am, doctor's appointment 11:15-12, lunch with a colleague 12:30-1:30, presentation 2-4pm, happy hour(s) with SB, dinner & bachelorette planning with Laura & Aimee at 6:30.

Excited for so much activity, fueled with super food!

In-Office Salad

It was smart that I brought salad fixing last week. I was able to eat another when I couldn't escape for lunch.

Same thing as last week... Spinach, mushrooms, onions, pecans, chopped turkey lunch meat, goat cheese, dressed with garlic hummus thinned out with lemon juice.

Grapefruit Pulp

It makes me happy to open the bowl of grapefruit pulp. It took too long to get that much, but adding it to my chia seed pudding is a treat worthwhile of tedium. 

Celebratory Filipino Feast

I made a last minute decision to reach out to Christine and join her celebration of her new job in Queens for Filipino food!

Even though I do my best to limit meat consumption to once a day, I joined and loved every bite of meat! 

We had food for an army (of course)!

The highlight for me was the halo halo, so cold outside why wouldn't we want ice cream and shaved ice for dessert?!

Fresh & Shanghai lumpia,

Sisig,

Tuna jaw, 

Eggplant torta,

Pancit palabok, 

Two noodle pancit,

Laing,

Lanka,

A ton of rice,

And tito's delight (aka the sampler)

Traditional Irish Food

Okay, not really. Totally Americanized "Irish" cuisine. But still a delicious tradition. I brought my crock potted meal to work for the 'lunch club'.

Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, onions and mustard. So good.

Grapefruit and Vanilla Chia

Kicking off the week of boring breakfasts. Chia seed pudding with vanilla almond milk. And I spent some tv time in Sunday pulling the pulp out from the bitter membrane of the grapefruits.
