Since it's not quite the summer yet I am taking care of myself. Both my parents are still working. My mom is a teacher so she'll be done in about 4 weeks. My dad is self-employed so he's a bit more flexible. Not flexible enough to be up here all the time though...especially since he's probably in surgery right now to repair his leg and his torn quadriceps muscle. (I'm rubbing my knee just thinking about what happened)
Also really you can skip forward...I'm warning you this is mostly about what foods I eat. It's really not interesting, but go ahead and read if you want. I don't know why anyone would care about what I eat. However, I always seem to read about that whenever they are listed about someone else in the media guide.
Life is interesting all by myself I must say. Although it will prepare me well for my Hilltop Apartment. I do my own laundry...which I've actually done for a while now. The cooking for myself is new. Since I have some free-time before I start working I watched a little TV today. I was watching the food network for a bit. I decided that they were doing way too much in terms of preparing their meals. I'm a pretty basic eater. I'm learning to stay away from junk food...yet my mom is hoping that I finish up some of the ice-cream that's been sitting in the freezer for a while. I'm a picky eater, and plain eater. I don't like too many spices. Not into "hot foods." I've been to a Chinese/Japanese restaurant a couple times in my life. Each time I ordered Fried Chicken. I can do grilled chicken on the grill. I'm great with microwaveable foods. So good that if I do have to cook I try to make a lot and then just put the rest in the fridge as left-overs to be heated up. I basically like all kinds of chicken.
I also love Filet Mignon/steak...but that tends to be expensive so that's for special occasions...speaking of that I love Irish Mashed Potatoes and my mom's amazing dinner rolls. If I got to choose my last meal those 3 things would be on it. Along with it I'd add Fried Chicken and my birthday cake with a side of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. My birthday cake is called "Sour Milk Cake" because it's made from real sour milk. I mean real...smelly, chunky milk. It's so good. It's my favorite food. It also comes with the best icing ever. Once I asked my mom just to make the icing for me to eat. It taste's really good, I just wouldn't recommend doing that. I had too much but somehow didn't throw up.
I've loved green beans ever since I saw how they were processed in Immokalee, Florida. We got a 22 pound box of green beans...(22-26 pound box...not sure which...it was a lot of free green beans)and we had green beans with every meal for about a week...even after we split the box with family members. I learned to like green beans. I love peas too...that's something that Thomas Jefferson and I have in common.
Right now I am trying to snack and have lunch with Tuna Fish sandwiches and eat either grilled chicken or a ham/cheese/lettuce/tomato/onion roll sandwich for dinner. I make two cans of tuna fish at once and hope it lasts a while. I also love peanut butter jelly...both the song and the food. I was made fun of at work at RBS Greenwich Capital last year because I would bring a bag lunch with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to work every day.
I also have a bag of frozen fried chicken, and hot dogs and hamburgers too. I love those foods and will probably have that on occasion. Breakfast right now is waffles and syrup...soon that will change to Wheaties/Cheerios and bananas because that's what I have. I also love Pancakes, French Toast and French Toast Sticks. You know where I will be standing if I ever to go South for breakfast. I also try to have scrambled eggs since they are full of protein.
Speaking of South Dining hall, which is the best...I really only go to a couple places there. I literally skip over the International Line everytime. If there is a long line at the one in the back right for dinner I skip that. I'll go straight for the hot dogs and hamburgers instead. For breakfast I never go in the omelet line. I can't wait that long to eat. I am so hungry around breakfast time. To me breakfast food requires something with syrup, or donuts/bagels/toast or cereal. Random but I said it.
Another good snack that I like are apples with peanut butter.
I also have to travel to the grocery store and buy my own food. I don't mind that actually. I tend to buy healthy foods, I just can't stay away from the unhealthy foods if my mom or dad bought them and they are just lying around the house.
I love grapes and carrots and dip. Carrots also help me sustain my good vision. I also love bread and butter. I love chips, especially sour cream and onion flavors. I love Sun-Chips too.
I like my mom's home-made tacos...kind of funny that we have soft shelled tacos since I am not of hispanic ancestry. I can't make that though. I also love Pasta, especially pasta with pesto.
I can't make the pesto sauce though...I will learn how to make pasta...which really isn't complicated. I just have to take the time to do it. Generally when I am hungry I want to eat. I don't want to spend an hour preparing the food. I just want to eat it. Therefore Presentation of the food also means absolutely nothing to me...unless of course I was entertaining someone. They should be able to tell what they are eating.
Garlic and Tomato pizza is really good too. I have to order that.
We have a fire pit where I can make smores in the summer. I love chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter m and m's, any mint candies, fruit slices...etc...but don't like nuts. Once again, I'm cutting these foods out though. They do no good. I have to try and think of food as away to fuel me and not as a way of making me happy.
I am not much of a fish eater...except tuna fish...which is chicken of the sea...and Mahi Mahi which I have if I'm in Hawaii.
As for drinks...I love Chocolate Milk, Skim Milk, Gatorade and Water. I also enjoy Orange Juice...without the pulp...(I love Tropicana) and Guava Juice. I never ever drink coffee. I hate coffee...but spilled coffee is what did lead me to change my seat in psychology and meet the greatest rower ever, Willis Reed.
In closing the scariest part about me going to the super market is what I am thinking about. Basically If I go down an aisle I will think about a UConn athlete if I see their favorite food.
