Everything I Eat

Really? Really?

So I don’t have pics to post right this minute.  But I will.  Guess who I’m a fan of?  Corey friggin’ Ferguson and his family.  Corey’s mother, Norris has been feeding us lately.  She’s loving us coming over for dinner.  She has even been altering recipes to meet my dietary desires.  Well, get THIS:  She’s been making seafood dishes but I can’t bring myself to express my hatrid for the bell pepper because it seems to be a staple in her recipes.  SO…lots of stuff has the ever hated, evil bells.  Usually red ones and not many of them.  So yeah, I love him (and her generosity) that much.  I’m eating bell peppers.  You heard it, kids.  Now this is happening.  They’re actully not that bad.  I just kinda pick around them if possible.     

In addition to all that awesome, Corey gets up (even if he’s not working that day) and MAKES ME BREAKFAST and PACKS MY LUNCH!  Seriously.  Sometimes (like this morning) he does this in his little man panties.  Eep!  Again I say, Le Sigh.  Husband material?  What say ye, ladies?

Corey and I LOVE to eat…oops.

Ok, so I was already heavier than I wanted to be…but now I’m realizing just how much Corey and I love to eat together and that could be badness.  Although we do IT a lot, I don’t think it’s enough to counter balance. 

Anyway, as previously mentioned, he’s an amazing cook and is finally settled into his kitchen at Valerie’s house.  So he cooked me a nice meal yesterday. 

So friggin’ delicious. 

Saturday we went to Blue Hole in Wimberly and had this stuff from Phoenicia.  Also friggin’ delicious. 

We eat a lot better than we could.  So, that’s something.

I love food.  I love Corey.

Food. It’s good.

I’ve been spending a lot of time with Corey Ferguson, as you may know.  He’s an amazing cook.  Nothing he has cooked me is pictured here because I keep forgetting to take pictures of it.  You’ll just have to believe me.  It’s beautiful and delicious, as is he. 

Magnolia Cafe veggie burger

This is really just a picture of my awesome ghetto nails.

The tiniest apple

Ceviche!

I couldn’t help it…this nanner was huge!

What?  Work was particularly boring that day…

I LOVE my steamer!

Le tuna salad

with cheeeeese!

This is hard…

Well, as suspected, I grew weary of constantly photographing my food then uploading pics, etc.  But I still really enjoy it…so I’ll keep trying. 

Here’s some stuff I ate:

Musman Curry with my brother…Mmm..Thai Passion

Torchy’s breakfast taco…ONLY ONE!

I took Greek Salad to Val for lunch…but ate mine real fast.  So this is actually Val’s salad:

Uh, yeah.  So Sarah is a badass (who doesn’t know that?)  She rode to the store on her bicycle and bought spices for this amazing Indian dish she made FOR ME (and Steven). 

My brother moved to Seattle on Sunday.  Saturday evening we got together at the Parlor for pizza.  This is our vegan pizza (avacado, snausage (or as I like to call it, s’notsage) and sundried tomatos):

It was so delicious!  But kind of cold.  I’m convinced they leave it sitting back there (because they DO take forever to make a pizza there) so you’ll drink more beer.  So, we did that:

The next day, Corey introduced me to MOCHI!  Holy shit this stuff is GOOD!  Chewy, powdery and smooth on the outside and cold icecreamy-creamy goodness on the inside:

I let Corey have some too…

Eeep!  He’s cute.

DAG-NAB-IT!

I ate shitty this morning because I drank last night and I’m the person who “NEEDS” junk food when hung over. Ugh. I know, right?! It was a MONDAY! But karaoke called! Then Blynch’s house called (Val’s house…but Blynch’s company). ANYWAY!

I felt like the grody yellow packaging pic was in order here.

Then leftover Ethiopian food for lunch.  I forgot to photograph it, but this is what it looks like, more or less:

I’m BAAAACK!

Ok, so I totally slacked on photographing my food.  I went out of town for work and was with a really annoying and confrontational lady who I didn’t want to explain why I was taking pictures of my food.  Also, I just got lazy.  BUT, Casey Bell inspired me to carry on because she “toadally loves my food blag”.  I’m not exactly sure when I ate all this stuff.  Anyway folks, here’s some stuff I ate!

Tooona!

Oh, Little City…I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Yogurt, fruit, granola and prescription drugs!

That’s a P.Terry’s Veggie Cheeseburger.  Oh holy wow.  Nom Nom Nom!

This shit is DE-LISH-US!  Ethiopian food.  It’s real good.

The Spaventa family recipe…Spinach Lasagna!  Two thumbs up (I’ve got the other one up…believe me).   Johnny rocks my kitchen!

Oops.  P.Terry’s fries were not resisted this time.  There all friggin’ natural at least.

Ok guys…don’t freak out.  This is a CHICKEN burger from P.Terry’s and it was SO GOOD!  I only ate this chicken because people were really nice to it before killing it. This is what they have to say about it:

“Our Chicken Burgers
The chicken burgers are made from fresh all natural chickens raised locally.  The birds are fed a diet absolutely free of pesticides, any other contaminants, hormones or steroids.  Delivered fresh to our store three times a week, the boneless, skinless breasts are ground daily to produce the perfect chicken burger.”

Yeah, I ate it. 

…while driving.  I find myself doing this a lot lately.  I don’t particularly like it…but time, she’s a wastin’!  Do not fear, it won’t go on too much longer.  I’m hiring a driver. 

Where was I driving, you ask?  I was driving to see the Coles (NI, BY and ETTE) so I HAD to take them cookies!!!!!  Here’s my cookie with Mommy and Baby:

May Day Friday! COLETTE’S BIRTHDAY!

So, this yogurt and granola does NOT translate well once all in the cup.  Gross.

I assure you, it was delicious.

April 30, Thursday

Today Colette was almost born.  This food was eaten while waiting for her (either at work, on the way to and at the birthing center/hospital).  What a night!!!

Breakfast was sliced strawberries in yogurt then put in that skull cup to eat while driving (safe stuff!)

The rest of last night’s salad…so good…AGAIN!

 I try not to snack like this, but I was falling asleep in a meeting.  I shared with coworkers but ate most of the package myself.

THEN The Penguin and I scarfed up some sushi train before heading over to the birthing center! 

 There was some unagi in there but I inhaled it before I got a chance to take a pic.

THEN shit got bad…hm…good?

I had half of this before we rushed off to the hospital.

I had all of this and probably half of another one while we fucked around in the hospital parking lot.  Oh (not) delicious miller lite.

 Oh glorious lonestar. 

Guess what beer makes me want?

Guess what did NOT look like this? 

Mmmm…nighty night.

April 29, Wednesday

Breakfast was some delicious loaf I found in my kitchen and two strawberries (thanks roomies!) and coffee as always…just one cup.

Left overs (YUM!)

 snack while driving.  Mmm…Doctor Cracker.

THERE are the leaves!

Sewing nights at Wes’ house = CHEESE.  Had a few slices of this with purple grapes provided by Valerie (I think this was her date or something?)

Sewing night at Wes’ also means sanGRIZZLE thanks to Amy! 

I forgot to photograph it…but it tasted as good as this looks.

April 28, Tuesday

Here is the biggest banana I’ve ever seen. Also some pumpkin bread that’s not as small as it looks. T’was good. There was some coffee in there somewhere.

Tuna Melt…I ate too much :(  Fortunately my belly taught me a lesson by being kind of nauseated for several hours afterwards.  Damn, it was SO tasty though.  STOP eating when you’re full, Brandi! (I did not get chips though…)

Tuesdays (for now) I volunteer for Hospice and it comes with free Mangia Pizza for the families and volunteers.  The first night we had too much pizza so I uh…”helped” by eating lots of friggin’ pizza.  Since then I only eat 2 slices (sometimes one) and salad.
