You know what's REALLY getting old???

This heat! And it hasn't been here but a minute! Get out, get out, GET OUT!!!

So anyway...let's also make this the "what's for dinner" thread, shall we?

I am enjoying my last days of good eats. Why? Next week I am taking on a challenge called "Live Below the Line" wherein I pledge to only spend $1.50/day on food for five days in awareness of the fact that the world's poorest people only have that much per person/per day to spend.

After some extensive research I have found a way to do this without consuming massive amounts of rice. There will be beans though.

So this weekend are my last suppers. Sorta. 

For dinner, my ex-BF is taking me to dinner (don't look at me like that...it is sooooo over between the two of us but he's my buddy now). 

Here's what else I had today:

1. Click Frapp
2. Cold Quinoa salad with veggies and black beans
3. More quinoa salad 

So...yeah...I need some MEAT. Sorry vegetarians...but if the food had a mama...I'm coming for you tonight!

What's on your plate tonight?

 Kill me.

89 inside my house.

I have become particularly adept at finding free AC.

The library is nice, although they put you out too early.

You know it's really bad when you go to the damn GYM for AC. That's bottom of the barrell right there.

 I just backed out of the gym for AC -- I fell in San Diego and broke my ass.  LOL.

I wish I had known you were coming to San Diego...I would have shown you around.  We have a mutual friend (Rachel Winton).

Yes! Im getting old! Another year gone!
But yeah, it had been really hot here for awhile, ( up to 110 last weekend) but it has cooled off big time. It's only 72 today.

Yes this heat is way old!! Our A/C is broke and we just can't replace it right. Went to Wal-Mart to hang out in the A/C earlier and spent too much money, lol! Oh well.

No clue what is for dinner. Too hot to cook and too hot to eat. I'm thinking an iced white chocolate mocha protein faux coffee.

Stay cool my friends!

When did you first try whole grain pasta?  I'm afraid to try it. I have had great luck with all of the foods I've tried but I've stayed away from pasta and rice.  

Dinner tonight is whole grain spaghetti and turkey meatballs, tossed in parmesan and olive oil. 
Alongside, carrots and snow peas lightly glazed in herb butter.  I'm craving fat tonight, in a bad way. 

Chicken soup. Cause I have been hit by some monstrous virus. Took me down within 30 minutes- chills, fever, sweats, lighheadedness and all that fun stuff. So I laid on the couch and let my daughter do my hair while my son tackled me like WWF was watching.

Now I have dreadlocks, bruises AND a freaking virus. Bonus.
