3 best meals this week

Not much happening on this blog lately.  I haven't done much cooking - though I did bake 3 apple pies last night.  We had leftover apples from an event so of course I made pie for the office.  As I told my friend and colleague Myra, "You bring me apples, I make pie. You bring me zucchini, I make bread." 

Unless you count pie as a meal, which I happen to do, the three best meals I've had in the past week have not been cooked.  First, I went backpacking with Melissa and my newly reunited friend Allison from high school.  When we reached our lean-to on Saturday, we pulled out a bottle of wine and served it up with cut veggies, crackers, goat cheese, and smoked salmon.  Needless to say, I slept very well under the moon that evening.

My second best meal of the week was the quick dinner I grabbed at CTB before floor hockey.  The 5K.  Whole wheat wrap with peanut butter, granola, banana, jelly, and jalepeno.  Yum!  Next time, I would opt for honey over jelly though and I might try to sneak in some apple slices.

The third best meal was also a sandwhich and I'm quite nervous about how this is actually going to play out for me.  Yesterday, I arrived at Zeus too late for soup so I had to order a sandwhich. I had no idea how much I was going to love the BL Tease!  Chopped seitan, chopped gouda, mixed with mayo and served on rye with, of course, L&T.  OMG!!!  I thought about it for 24 hours and ordered another one today.  This is going to be dangerous.  The whole point of eating at Zeus is that I get a healthy veggie soup for $3.07.  A sandwhich loaded with cheese and mayo isn't quite the same (nutritionally or fiscally), but wow is it delicious!
