Eggs on a Raft

Today, I had eggs on a raft for lunch.

Not familiar with the meal, you say? Then you, dear reader, must have fallen off the turnip truck shortly after being born yesterday. I’m not sure what my intentions for the previous statement were, but I do know that if you have never had eggs on a raft, you’re missing out.

The basic theory behind eggs on a raft is not too complicated. You take a piece of bread, butter that thing, cut a hole out of the center, throw the slice in a pan and then crack an egg directly into the circular bread hole. Fry it, flip it, fry it, plate it, eat it.

The bread is the raft, you see, and the meal is just like eating eggs and toast combined into one convenient food product. And if there’s one thing I love, it’s combining several foods to make one (see: mashed potato loaf with marinara pudding).

Sushi and Edamame

I was looking to make sure I spelled edamame right and did you know the veggie has it’s own website? It’s true! And this is what I learned…

“Edamame is a green vegetable more commonly known as a soybean, harvested at the peak of ripening right before it reaches the ‘hardening’ time. The word Edamame means ‘Beans on Branches,’ and it grows in clusters on bushy branches. To retain the freshness and its natural flavor, it is parboiled and quick-frozen.”

So I had some “beans on branches” with some salmon sushi. Not tuna, because that shit is deadly.

Another Peanut Butter Thingy

Today, I ate another peanut butter, banana and honey sandwich. I am not denying I only made it because I am lazy and didn’t feel like making anything else. The bananas were more fresh than they were last time, but I am going to need to buy some more honey and peanut butter. Trader Joe’s, while usually amazing, does not do peanut butter to my liking. Jiff it is next time? Peter Pan? Too many choices.

Ate Fresh

I had the Subway 12-inch Tuna with ‘the works’ today, an old college-favorite that I have recently revisited. I actually despise Subway because of how average their sandwiches are and how calculating they are with their pre-measured meat portions and triangular cheese slices, but the tuna isn’t half bad. Maybe I like the tuna because its not possible to measure it effectively, and so each sandwich I get is at least a tiny bit different. That inconsistency keeps things interesting, takes away from the assembly line feel of the place, makes me feel alive again.

Burrito

Today, I ate a chicken and green chile burrito. The corn salsa, I added myself. Ingenuity!

Bagel Melt

Today I enjoyed a turkey, ham and cheese melt on a wheat bagel. It was surprisingly good. They didn’t ask what kind of cheese I wanted. I’m guessing it was American. Good old fashioned American. God Bless.

Caveman Pizza Bagel

me make bagel with pizza on it. tasty. yum. come from super market land. kitchen in office has discovered fire. shredded cheese of the mozzarella monster and chedder fish smothered over pizza sauce from the man. pizza sauce in bottle. crush bottle sauce squirts. make tastey. put bagel in fire. wait. bs with other cavemen. me hungry. burn hand. get pizza bagel out. burn mouth. chew. burn mouth. swallow. finish. happy.

Pasta and Vegetables

Today, I ate leftovers from dinner last night: rigatoni with olive oil, asparagus, spinach, steamed mushrooms a dash of basil and a pinch of parmesan cheese. Healthy, tasty, and all around one of the more satisfying lunches in the past few weeks.

Bread, Peanut Butter, Bananas, Honey

Today, I ate a peanut butter, banana and honey sandwich. It was scrumdiddlyumptious, but it sparked a debate within my soul: what’s the best peanut butter-based meal?

Some would say PBJ, probably out of pure nostalgia, but that limits the creativity that peanut butter affords a good chef. Elvis, for example, liked fried peanut butter, bacon and banana sandwiches.

What say you, dear readers? What goes best with peanut butter?

The Deliciousness That is 5 Guys

Did you know that if you don’t eat the bun with a 5 Guys burger, you save 260 calories? It’s true. So that’s what I did today. I just had a burger with cheese but no bun. Only 300 calories total and yet still delicious.

It’s kinda sad that all of my posts are so involved about calories, isn’t it?
