Sunday (hers): Homemade hummus

You may or may not be aware that I am really into garbanzo beans and have 8 cans sitting in my pantry. There would be more if I could carry the cans home from the market! I decided to make some hummus (tahini free) since I had the beans and the pita bread. It is so easy to make and so tasty. All you need is one can of garbanzo beans, juice of a lemon, 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt, 1 garlic clove, parsley, and some paprika to top it off.

Saturday (hers): Leftovers

Ok, I am totally aware that this picture is unappetizing and disgusting looking, but it's the truth. I ate some pita bread and my leftover steak for dinner. It tasted better than it looks....trust me...

Friday (hers): Retreat!

Went on a retreat for my work on Friday and stayed overnight at this bizarre conference center/country club near White Plains. I totally loved the location because it was different and I got my own room and did I mention there was a pool and an open bar and free food all the time, including gummy bears and individually wrapped jelly bellys? Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of our dinner, but here is the room where some of the meals were held. The dinner was in a private dining room, which I cannot find a picture of. I had seared tuna and soba noodles, mashed potatoes (2 servings), and hard boiled eggs.

Thursday (hers): Fancy Steak

I decided to broil up my last Trader Joe's ribeye (sob) on Thursday. It was so delicious and fatty. I also broiled some brussel sprouts (not a good idea--got too crispy) and microwaved a couple of potatoes. Mmmmmmm. Wish I could eat like this everyday, but I would be broke and huge.

Wednesday (hers): Rooftop Celebration

My workplace had their end of the year party on Wednesday. The party took place on a rooftop. The sun was drenching us and the food and wine kept flowing! This photo is not representative of what I ate that evening at all.
What I ate:
Sushi
satay
olives (green and kalamata and grossly covered with orange rind?)
Slider
prosciutto (lots)
cheese (not sure what kind)
dried cranberries
mini ham and cheese sandwich
More I can't even remember now

I love free food!!!

Tuesday (hers): Kind of disgusting

Turkey dog (see background), last of Steve's Key Lime Pie, and a spring salad with balsamic and olive oil.

Monday (hers): Serendipity Celebration

This was definitely one of the most stressful dining experiences I have had in awhile. My little sister just finished her first year of college, so we wanted to celebrate by having dinner at Serendipity. Since she was only going to be in NY for one night, we had to go to the restaurant directly from the train station. Since she was going home for the summer, she had her 57lb rolling suitcase as well as a giant duffel bag in tow. Needless to say, dragging that suitcase uptown, up the subway stairs, down the Serendipity stairs, then up them again, and so on....was not pleasant. Anyways, I got the Bleu Burger, which is basically a burger that has some blue cheese melted on top. It cost 14.00 for this pretty mediocre. I can't complain about the price too much because we were obviously eating at a tourist trap and we were obviously tourists with our giant luggage.
