The foods that keep me going

I got lucky. Someone switched a day off with me due to some plans they have. So I won’t have to work 10 9 hour work days straight! My days are split but at least I get a short break. I’ve done a good job bringing my lunches regularly and not forgetting to make anything. For most of the week I brought salads and some Mexican rice. For my “Friday” I’m bringing a nice big slice of pizza. Because FPS and pizza go hand in hand. Just ask anyone who has ever been to a LAN party.

I’m thinking for next week I’ll make a Hungarian dish. I’ve been reading one of my European cookbooks to try and come up with something different. One of the things I found was a recipe that mainly consisted of a homemade tomato sauced kind of stew with sausage and seasoned with sweet Hungarian paprika, then topped with an egg. There’s also a recipe for a cold cherry soup (which is more of a wine punch) that I’ll make during my off time. I still have some leftover rice though, so maybe I’ll make some soup with it and some vegetables I have lying around.

Oh, and as if I haven’t talked about food enough I tried some watermelon hibiscus tea tonight. I thought it was delicious. Not enough to order online but as a free sample I found it to be quite refreshing. My tea for bed tonight consists of green tea and delicious dried cherries. I really like this and the green tea blueberry one. Hopefully my refill for it will arrive soon. I’m already running low. 😛
