my belly
is a creature unto its own.
it seems i never stop eating, yet i am always hungry. is this a curse? is this is what i get for having a good family, a nice job, and the best friends in the world? an insatiable, ever-present feeling of hunger. of desire. of needing to consume things, and make them mine. all.the.time.
okay so maybe my stomach is more honestly me than anything else.
anyways. it is 1:30pm and so far today i have had
1) 1 mango peach
2) 1 grilled chicken-avocado-provolone-tomatoes-sprouts on a roll sandwich
3) 1 2-serving bag of baked cheetos
4) 1 large arizona diet green tea with ginseng.
5) 1 multivitamin and 1 calcium chew
i have packed 1 white nectarine for my snack this afternoon and am going tonight with my big sis to either momofuku bar for noodles or, if i can sell her on coming to williamsburg, either bonita's for mexican, dumont burger for burgers, or marlow & sons for meats and cheeses. i'm hoping for a bridge crossing, since i don't imagine her coming over either nine months prego or with a baby in tow, but we shall see.
but back to my stomach. here's a sampling of a few choice meals from the past week:
1) anytime's avocado, gruyere, and tomato sandwich with tater tots
2) chipotle barbacoa burrito bowl
3) red flame diner's chicken souvlaki with salad and fries
4) G's arroz con pollo (y chorizo!) and watercress salad with watermelon, cantaloupe and almonds
5) peanut butter & jelly sandwiches
6) G's mushroom risotto
7) taco chulo's nachos chulos
8) hope & union's chicken caesar salad and turkey sandwich
9) joe ginger's pork soup dumplings, crab soup dumplings, shanghai noodle soup, crispy beef, pork & pickled cabbage, and some other beef and noodle dish
10) shilla's galbi, bulgogi, daeji bulgogi, bibim nengmyun, soondooboo chigae, kimchi chigae, dengjang chigae, and haemool pajeun
11) hummus place's hummus foul and mint lemonade
mind you, these are just SOME of the meals i've eaten. some of the things not included: multiple servings of cereal, granola, overpriced bottled tea, cantaloupe, cherries, peanut butter co's crunch time natural peanut butter, laughing cow cheese squares, frozen yogurt and any number of pieces of the random bulk candy available in the company cafeteria or in RT's candy bowl. most recently it was caramels and mini-mounds bars.
tomorrow night, PL is cooking chinese for us. friday morning i'd like to send the chicagoans off for brunch in williamsburg someplace perhaps at the egg, or maybe coco. saturday is beer & a few southern bites at enid's. monday C and CK and i are going for some delicious bite somewhere, with BYOB ivo & lulu's coming up as a strong contender. i've only been to ivo & lulu's once, but it feels familiar and cozy given that i used to spend so much time at A, which is owned by the same peeps. delicious, high-end, slightly caribbean-tinged food for cheap. yay. and i just got a dinner invite for sept. 10, at the steel family household. DS should really bottle his pasta sauces.
okay so maybe my world revolves around food.
so THERE!
happy belly.
hungry belly.
i think it's time for my peach.

add to today's roster:
1) 1 flourless fudge brownie
2) 1 oatmeal raising cookie
damn these company gatherings!
the speed and accuracy of the risotto was the most impressive.
i've wanted to catalogue the things i put into my tummy but just for a day to see just how much i eat. look for it soon!
i predict ... at least 4 bagels or pieces of toast, 6-8 servings of fruit and a large dose of chipotle sauce.
oh! and also to today's roster, from dinner at bonita's:
3) 1 glass of freshmade limeade
4) 1 ear of mexican corn, slathered in buttered, cheese, and spices
5) 1 order chiles rellenos
6) a few bites of steak taco
oy vey.
mmm...yummy....at leat your tastebuds will never be bored! uh, bermeo cataloging food intake? not that you would actually use a pen and paper - how archaic! - but i do encourage you to do it on the computer only because lots of trees would have to die for your cause.
it is possible that the world's co2 level will increase if G feels compelled to write down what he puts in his mouth every day.
