June 27-July 4, 2022 - Spam & Eggs & The Fourth of July

I don't remember if I talked about this in my last post but early last week we were eating a lot of dips left over from our party. Many cream cheese-based: salmon dip, buffalo chicken dip, that kind of thing. Hummus, bean dip. Dips dips dips. But also some other stuff:

Cucumber sandwich

Irish butter on one bread, cream cheese with dill on the other bread, cucumbers in middle. With extra cucumbers and strawberries.

Spam and Egg and Strawberries

Hmm this was actually the second time I had spam and eggs this week, but I guess I didn't take a pic of the first time so maybe I should change the title of the post. Oh well. Spam, egg, strawberries.

---

Salad

Spinach, arugula, radishes, mozzarella, cucumbers, olive oil, cranberry balsamic, salt and pepper

---

Chicken nuggets

Had these right after the salad for lunch because I was still hungry. Perfect finisher

---

Chicken parm

I was really grumpy last week because I felt like I was making dinner all the time and I didn't want to this day so Janty got me this chicken parm from Ribaldi's. Good for 2 dinners and a lunch.

---

Salad

This was the same salad I had the day I ate the chicken nuggets but with only one slice of mozz instead of four, and I didn't have chicken. Funny how sometimes you are so hungry and other times no, huh. Bodies.

---

Orzo salad

Worked from the office on Friday, got this orzo salad from Streets, with this lavender drink. The drink would have been really good over ice and maybe with a little bit of sparkling added to it. Was fine plain. Good orzo.

---

Bojangles

On Saturday we drove to the lake to hang out with Cara & Co. Stopped at Bojangles in Charlottesville and I got a chicken sandwich. Great fries they got there.

---

Burger

Burger, beans, chips, watermelon, grilled veg, ramen pasta salad Cara made. Soo good after an afternoon floating around.

---

Big Vegan Breakfast

Potatoes, mushroom, onion, pepper. Ugly, but delicious.

---

Salmon Burger and Lentil Chili

Soo good salmon burger. And chili. But the burger really hit the spot.

---

Fajita Fixin's

Rice, beans, steak, shrimp, guac, veg, chips. The key to eating good on a friend vaca is for parents to be there to do the grilling, I think.

---

Dunkin'

Got dunkin' breakfast on the way back to Baltimore. Sausage egg and cheese croissant and a hot coffee. Haven't done hot coffee from dd in a while but I like a hot drink in the morning and didn't have any tea before we left.

---

Pool party platter

Went straight from the lake to a pool party. Mac and cheese, hummus & veg, tomato salad, corn..fritter..?, pasta...idk what was on it, hot dog, caprese but with peaches instead of tomato. Now that is a genius twist. Really sweet peach, too. The hosts of this party are older than me and have friends who are also older, so they really know how to do party foods good.

Ok that's all! I also had some corn pops throughout the week :)
