Crappy pic but here's this summers reading list:
Right now I'm working on Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt about the author, who grows up in Ireland very poor with an alcoholic father. Pretty good so far, heartbreaking but at times also funny. I'm also reading a "cheap" tabloidesque fiction paperback from the 70's called Whoreson by Donald Goines. It's about what you think it's about. So cheesy you have to smile while reading it. I love this kind of "junky" reading during the summer and it's such a luxury to have time to spend on it each day.
What are YOU reading?
Food today was 2 Kashi waffles with banana slices and syrup for breakfast. Chicken salad for lunch.
Snacks were a Snackwell peanut butter cereal bar. So good and reminded me of those chewy peanut butter cookies made with corn flakes. In the afternoon, I had a handful of dark chocolate covered almonds.
For supper, I scrambled 2 eggs with some pepper, garlic powder and dried oregano and cooked in the microwave for a minute, then I cooked 2 turkey sausage links (the fully cooked kind) for one minute. I sliced the sausage into the eggs stirred it up and sprinkled it with cheddar then cooked the combo for 1 more minute. I poured some pizza sauce on the side. It was not pretty to look at but it was SO good!
Calories came out to 1567/1930. I might have a Skinny Cow treat later if I want, but tomorrow is officially weigh in day so...
Note:
The chicken I made yesterday was just ok. The chicken part was very moist and perfect but the yogurt/Parmesan mixture on the outside was VERY salty and I scraped most of it off. Probably because I used cheap Parmesan. I don't think I'll make it again. Just letting anyone know who thought they might try it.
I'm such a dope, I read the hunger games and I didn't even realize that. I enjoyed them. I have The Help on my nightstand but haven't opened it yet.
ReplyDeleteI have a great honey mustard chicken recipe that I got from a bee keeping book. I'll dig it out and get it to you.
I too loved the Hunger Games & devoured them in just days...I'm currently reading "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore, very very morbidly dark humor but viciously witty, not something I'd usually pick up but it's for my book club & I am liking it...but it's not for the faint of heart.
ReplyDeleteI loved A Dirty Job! Lamb was also very funny, but it could be offensive to some.
DeletePaige, you definitely need something light and trashy after Angela's Ashes. It's a wonderful book, but I felt emotionally drained after it.
I just finished The Sisters Brothers (very good) and I'm currently working on Angels and Ages, a short book about Lincoln and Darwin.
