the source of food part 1

There is usually a variety of foods that I eat day to day. It all depends on what is around me. Since I was raised Hispanic, by default I will rice every other day (please forgive me if I’m stereotyping). The kind of rice that I eat is wild rice or a wild rice "blend" which is a mix of brown rice, wild rice, and other healthy grains. I started seeing a dietion in June of this year and she gives me really good advice on what foods are good, like the wild rice and raw chocolate, and what foods to not necessarily avoid, but to eat less of, like white rice and milk chocolate. Each day, I prepare a small lunch for myself with whatever meat my mother made the night before, my wild rice that I made the night before, and a big salad. The purpose of the big salad is to fill me faster but to not have the feeling of being stuffed like it was Thanksgiving. But this pattern varies when I don’t have time to cook for myself, low on funds to find my own lettace, or a random time during the month when I want something like a Philly cheese steak, which is what I ate yesterday for lunch.
For the past few days, its been pretty much the same thing. I started keeping a detailed track of what I eat on Monday, September 17th. On that day, I had a Swiss cheese egg white omlete sandwich on honey flax wheat toast with a cup of tea. For lunch, I packed myself some pernil, which pork shoulder that is traditionally made in Puerto Rican and Dominican families, with some baked macaroni-n-cheese that my mother made the night before, which is a typical Sunday night dinner for us. I also packed myself a spinach salad with grape tomatoes, which I was planning to eat at work later that day, but I ended up eating a mini meatball roll with some Arizona pomogrante green tea at work that was from a pizzeria across the street from my job. My boss sent me there to get him a chicken calzone and whatever I want for myself, which was that mini roll. I also had a cup of tea while I was there because my throat was hurting a bit. Before I left for the night, a friend of mine that I work with and is also a student here at La Guardia gave me an Almond Joy and I ate that on the train with a bottle of Poland Spring water. Since I’m getting sick, I drink a lot of lemon-honey tea, which I had when I got home.
It is the morning of September 18th, and my throat is killing me. It is so sore, I can barely speak without my voice cracking like a 13-year-old boy going through pubity. I ate a bowl of oatmeal with a cup of lemon honey tea. That Tuesday was our trip to the Filmmakers Conference and I drank a .5 L bottle of Poland Spring that I could of bought at a newsstand in the train station for $1 and not $1.75. When it was over, I went back to school to buy my books and bought a Philly cheese steak sandwich from one of the Thomson Ave street venders and a Tazo iced green tea from 7-11. I also bought some lemon tea for my throat and that was about 16oz. At about 6 pm, I went home and had a breaded pork chop with some left macaroni-n-cheese with a spinich salad. I had yet another cup of lemon honey tea. For dessert I ate a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream bar and the flavor was "Half Baked". Then I snacked on one chocolate covered prezel.
I wake up at 7 am on the 19th of September to eat yet another bowl of oatmeal and lemon honey tea but I added two slices of honey flax whole wheat bread and several strawberries. After that annoying treasure hunt in the library, I ate a piece of grilled chicken and some macaroni-n-cheese that I brought from home with yet another cup of lemon tea (I ran out of honey) and a buffolo chicken "Big Bite" from 7-11. When I got to work, my supervisor was complaining that he was hungry and was really craving Taco Bell. I eventually had some of the nachos that he ordered. Later that night, I took a Halls because I had no money to tea and it was the first thing available that helps sore throats. When I got home, I had a real dinner which was chicken stew with some mashed potatoes and broccoli.
This pattern really depends on what my finacial state is that week. I’m a couple of private debts that I’m paying pff slowly. There are days where I’m lazy of what I eat and there are days where I’m extra careful.
