irony
just finished cooking up a storm. my boyfriend and i can be rather
pathetic sometimes (brrpppp!...excuse me :)). we'll be sitting there...hungry as a bear...but
we won't do anything about it. Instead of going out and picking up some groceries,
we'll opt instead to scavenge the pantry and refrigerator for whatever we can find.

Take last night for example...I got the munchies in the evening, but instead of going out
to the store, I
1. baked a couple of months-old hash browns and
2. ate the left-over crumbs of a once-full bag of cashews.

Then today, my boyfriend
1. had left-over halloween candy and ensemada (Pilipino pastry bun w/ butter, sugar and processed cheese on top)for breakfast
2. a small box of stale Trix Cereal for snacks
3. and rice w/ fried eggs and canned sardines (Ligo brand) for lunch.

P A T H E T I C !!!!!!!

I was finally compelled to go to the grocery store this afternoon after
discovering that we no longer had any bottled water.
Good LAWD, what would we do without that?! Our tap water tastes like chlorine and
I was incredibly thirsty after sanding the bathroom walls, so there was no way
that I would settle for anything less than a gallon of Arrowhead Springwater or even the
generic brand for that matter!

So, off I went. 'Bought enough stuff to make the following (which I cooked in 1.5 hrs...not bad, huh?)
1. turkey meatloaf with
2. gravy
3. steamed vegetable platter (broccoli, green beans, carrots, corn)
4. radiatorre pasta w/ pesto and sun-dried tomatoes and
5. sauted long beans (sitaw) and shrimp in bagoong (salted shrimp past)

...I also bought some java chocolate chip ice cream for desert - yum!

So, there it is...a whole friggin' buffet meal, which will probably only last us until Tuesday. ;P
And the funny thing is, I'm not even hungry anymore.
