What I ate Today

Sunday, May 31st, 2009 | 49 Comments

Yea, it’s going to be that boring Of a post, hahaha

I didn’t do much this weekend. Mostly I laid out both Saturday and Sunday! It was heavenly! Saturday we did get out for a while. I picked up these heels on sale at DSW! Only $25.00. So far they’re feeling really comfy! I’m hoping I can wear them often with baggy rolled jeans

Yea, nothing but blackberry photos, hahaaha.
Today I didn’t even go out except on a walk later in the evening. I spent a lot of my day laying out, then cooking up heads of cabbage for the coming week! I want to replace 2 dinner meals this week with low-calorie cabbage meals! So for lunch I grabbed a bunch of low calorie things and made a quick soup! It’s made from cabbage, shiitake dashi, gyoza dumplings (with leek inside!), Texas Pete hot sauce, and a few noodles. In all it’s about 150kcal a bowlful! I had 2 bowls worth because I only had a 65kcal jelly for breakfast. :twinklewhtout:
I was shocked at how good it tasted. I really suck at cooking except easy things like this

Then I had a sugary snack a few hours later when we went for a walk, hahahaaa. It’s a green tea and red bean paste ice cream sandwich! It’s 200+kcal :vomitblood: But it’s just so yummy and refreshingly different! I fell in love with them last year.





Then 2 tacos for dinner!


This pic goes along with a tweet I made earlier this weekend!
aaahahahhhahaaa :noki4:




I shouldn’t complain with a boring weekend! No news is usually good news right!?!? Things feel like they’ve gotten better. Two days of sunshine can really help :*:

I’m thinking of ordering this cell phone charm button. Blackberry doesn’t have a place for charms. I just hope it sticks to silicone skins. I really don’t want to buy a plastic cover or especially go WITHOUT a cover just to stick it on, haahaa. I want to go through the site a browse a bit before putting in my order. Better to order everything at once right!?
I dunno maybe I’ll buy a plastic case anyway b/c then I could deco it morphing my slick all-business blackberry into some cheap looking girl obsession! :glitz: HAHAHA DO WANT!! I never wanna grow uppppppp!

UPDATE: Mike was looking at plastic cases for my blackberry on Amazon and accidently 1-clicked ordered me one for $3.00!!! Hahahah so whether or not the buttons stick to silicon are no longer relevant I suppose!

Good chance because this ice cream is extremely popular. I’ve seen it in every international market I visit.

I think those heels would like great with dark blue jeans. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in a pic w/jeans. I didn’t think you wore them.

jenny said
June 1, 2009 @ 4:54 pm

Oh I’m a jeans queen!! I think the previous 2 posts have some examples

Yea, I remember you having baggy jeans or something- where did you get them, I was wondering? I know this is totally irrelevant

jenny said
June 1, 2009 @ 8:30 pm

Well my main pair are this super old pair (like 5 years?) I got in college. They’re the real deal I guess! Actual worn-in jeans hahaha, I don’t know HOW they’ve lasted but they are super comfy

Guess that doesn’t help much! Sorry!

(Comments wont nest below this level)

Wee I love tacos! And I never have the patience to lay out in the sun! AND I would like to say that I have a newfound love for DSW!!!!!

I also think silicone cases are better than plastic because they’re easier to clean without the worry of scratches!

woahh! you’re eating things that have over 1000 calories?!?! (1kcal = 1000cal)! that sounds like a fast food diet aiyaaaaaa.

jenny said
June 1, 2009 @ 4:59 pm

Actually they mean the same thing, so 1kcal = 1 calorie. It’s just that “calorie” is a more popular term.

Hhe - great buys! Love the stuff you can find online! I’m getting my Capybara San from Strapya soon - but that stick-on button looks like a great idea - my poor iPhone feels so plain and unloved!

Wah you blog so much, I never keep up anymore But that’s just nice! I enjoy scrolling through your photos at GoogleRead whenever I don’t have time to read the whole entries :p

Where do you get ALL that japanese food? haha, it sort of seems like japanese supermarket food is the oNLY sorts of supermark food you buy and eat :p haha

I’m getting hungry by looking at your photos! Luckily there’s yellow lemon jelly waiting for me in the freezer !!

jenny said
June 1, 2009 @ 5:02 pm

Well one would think but my US groceries FAR outweigh Japanese or Korean brands!!! The non-American stuff seems special-ish to me so I end up choosing to blog about that. Though yesterday was a heavy Japanese food day, hahah! Two Korean supermarkets are actually closer to my house than any US grocery so I’m there a lot out of convenience and they sell mostly Japanese foods.

I’m a fan of those shoes. Does the picture reflect the actual in-person color?

jenny said
June 1, 2009 @ 5:03 pm

Well it really depends what your monitor setting is BUT for me on my monitor YES! Vivid fire-engine red!! But earlier someone said they were pink so I can’t really say, lol.

jenny said
June 1, 2009 @ 5:05 pm

After I made the soup I had wished I had written it down. But I’ll probably make it soon again and will try to do a recipe maybe?!

I’m thinking about it, not sure what style I’d do. Maybe simple?? Or maybe dessert covered!?

You know, I remember the doctor asking me if I was always so tired because I was yawning a lot. I had to wake up early, so I said that was the cause but thinking back I do tend to be tired a lot during the day no matter how I slept. I think when I go to the cardiologist I’ll probably ask about that. Thanks for your concern!!

jenny said
June 1, 2009 @ 8:27 pm

Do you bruise easily as well? Fatigue and bruising are a big sign. (I was anemic in high school~~)

 
 
June 1, 2009 @ 9:31 pm

mmm~ those dumplings look so yummy~♥♥
i love dumplings so much~!!

haha xDD how was the beer~? ^__^
i cant really drink beer… i dont like the taste D;
have to get used to it maybe~?!

jenny said
June 1, 2009 @ 9:42 pm

I’m working my way to it! Hahahah. It’s my “Everest!” I made it a mission this summer to LEARN to drink beer. It’s been a problem in the past with work events at pubs and bbqs, There’s always just beer and I feel so left out. So I want to be able to drink it. I learned to like wine! I think I can do it!! \/

… I’ll always prefer the frilly cocktails though I can’t help it! hahaha ;_;

I don’t really like green tea ice cream but I like the vanilla icecream + red bean + mochi in a fish shape wafer thing! it’s really :9

Japanese snacks are so expensive here… Everyone goes to the expired junk food corner since it gets reduced to less than half price! (from past experience there’s not too much difference… if it’s only off by a month or something… for chips and stuff… LOL my days of being a poor uni student OTL) Is it really that horrifying to try expired food~~~ (;¯‿¯)

I remember you!!! (from before I took my 1.5-year hiatus) I was trying to relocate your blog but I couldn’t remember the url. So yay.

Also those shoes are really cute.. though I don’t think I could wear them for 5 minutes without falling over or screaming in pain. Oh well.

that ice cream sandwich seriously looks so goood! can u buy those at the japanese grocery store? do they come separately or in packs!? i wnat to try it.

 
Midori said

Dude, I want to try that ice cream sandwich out. I always get really similar ones from a small korean market around here. It’s a taiyaki(fishy!) shell that looks exactly like the one above (thin, wafery) with vanilla ice cream and red bean paste.

 
Zoraida said
June 2, 2009 @ 3:02 am

BEEEEEER!!! Ahhh, good luck on your quest! Beer is just so hard to drink sometimes because of the taste, who knows, I hear you like it when you get older though. Good practice for your taste buds hahahaha!

That ice cream sandwich looks so good~~ You’re making me want to eat even though its midnight! Ahhhhhhh

June 2, 2009 @ 8:37 am

you need to post a recipe =))
actually when i want to lose weight the combination of water, green tea & miso soup with tofu works best for me.
i’ve never tried cabbage….
imported japanese food is a lot cheaper in the us than in europe!!that’s so unfair…

The cabbage and the ice cream sound soo good! Green tea ice cream is my fave but I can never find it here. D:

Those shoes are cute too, they are like the 1920s style shoes. very nice!

jenny said
June 4, 2009 @ 12:54 pm

I’m an awful cook so of course I used frozen gyoza
