A tribute to father John

In my dream I had purchased eggs, milk and tortillas, in reality I purchased nothing.
Breakfast: Instant oatmeal with pecans and a cup of green tea. ($0)
Lunch: Ham, zucchini (from Morgan), and gouda cooked in a skillet with some oregano.  This meal was lame and reminded me of how similar I am to my father.  He's all about finding random "balanced" things in the fridge and cooking them together in a skillet. ($0)
Dinner: I used to get free dinners on Thursdays but now I have classes from 4-9:30 so have to pack a meal.  I made PB&J with old bread (from Morgan at least 2 months ago) and the remainder of my peanut butter and jelly from my first shopping trip back in August.  I don't think the jam was good anymore.  I also had some snap peas (from Morgan) which was quite exciting because they are usually one of my favorite raw vegetables, these ones may have been on their way out. ($0)
Snack: Dinner was pretty depressing so when I got home I decided to make cinnamon toast! something taught by my Nica roommates.  You take toast, put on a little butter and sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar and it's like a churro...NOT.  This was totally dissatisfying and looking at the butter in the fridge made me appreciate my dad's obsession with using a butter knife.

  1. Why do people keep giving you food, I don't get it. Or is it mostly just Morgan... no, Lani gave you chai! Why aren't people giving me food here, Joy? What is your trick?

    Oh wait, I guess the collard greens from my neighbor last week should count, huh? Ok I guess I don't have it that bad...
