August 3 - Bonus Day

I was supposed to leave for Hawaii this morning but I found out when I woke up that my flight was cancelled. That was a bummer but it made today feel like a special bonus day because I didn't have anything I needed to do since I had been planning to be on the plane all day. I napped and did my watercolors and weeded the front walk and watched TV all day. Also I ate these things.

Brunch: Pita

Janty made hummus and pickled turnips and chicken the other day so we've been having these perfect little sandwiches. Also has cucumbers and red onion. We both agree this is the perfect amount of filling without making you feel bogged-down. Also has a good crunch to it.

Dinner: Noodles Leftovers Surprise

The other day we got Ekiben and didn't realize they'd given us peanut sauce until after we'd already finished our meals. I used that as inspiration for tonight's dinner. I cooked a bunch of cabbage, garlic, red onion in peanut oil, boiled the noodles in a separate pot, combined it w the veg, added the peanut sauce we'd saved, cooked it on up. Tossed in some sesame seeds and some dried veggie packets that came with the ramen. Served it with cashews I toasted in the oven for 10 min, green onion, some kind of spicy sauce we had from another takeout place (idk where it came from but it seemed like it wasn't rotten or anything). Very delish and filling and I'm glad to have used up some of our sauces.

For dessert I had the last of the chocolate covered strawberries Cara sent me for happy bar. I still want more sweet stuff so I might have some of the granola bar I made for my flight. Or maybe a juice. Idk

Ok I will be in Hawaii tomorrow hopefully so everyone be prepared to see some excellent foods.
