I have lots of yummy food to update everyone on! I will start from my snack at work on Friday.
Around 4 I was not really hungry but I always get the munchies at that time from being bored. I also knew I would not be eating dinner till around 9 so I needed something to hold me over.
I took one bite of the apple and it had such a weird taste to it. I did not look rotten but tasted gross so I threw it out. I had just received a big box of Z-bars so I had one of those instead. So good! I was going to stop buying them all together since I end up eating too many at night, but I had $8.00 to redeem on Drugstore.com so I caved and ordered a box! I hid them in a high cabinet in the kitchen so hopefully I am okay with this box.
After work I went home and got ready to go out with my friend from college. We met in the city around 9 and went to Cinema Cafe. I have been to this restaurant before a few times and loved it so I suggested it to my friend and she agreed.
I started off by ordering a Pear Martini. The waitress came back over to me and told me they were out of pear so it was the only drink I could not get! Instead I got a Sunrise Cosmo.

It was yummy but a little too sweet for me. It still did the trick!
Next the server brought out the evil bread basket. It was so warm and soft and I was starving so I had a piece or two throughout my meal. There was a delicious Balsamic dressing to dip the bread in.

For an appetizer, my friend and I shared an order of
Edamame.

Delicious as always!
Time for a second drink!

For my main course I got the
Black Pepper Seared Fin Tuna Salad with seaweed, avocado, sprouts, edamame, and ginger soy sesame dressing.

This salad was as good as it looks! The dressing was delicious too. I ate almost all of it except for a little piece of the 2
nd tuna. I would order this again anytime!
My friend ordered the
Sauteed Chicken Breast with white whine, roasted garlic, fresh tomatoes and basil with sauteed baby spinach and whipped purple potato.

We had no clue what that was on top of the chicken at first! After checking the menu we remembered it was purple potato! I had it taste and it was really good. My friend said the rest of the dish was a little salty for her and only ate half.
After dinner we went to a bar called Porkey’s. It did not look too fun when we walked in and they were going to force us to check our coats. We were freezing so we decided to leave and go to a different bar called Slate.
Slate did not seem too fun either. It had pool tables and ping pong tables but we just wanted to drink. We decided to have a drink or two and go home.

We each got a Bud Light and a shot of Vanilla Vodka. We figured that the shots were going to be $15 dollars each so we should just get something straight instead of a girly shot that they water down. The vanilla shot was actually really easy to take. I will be getting it more often! I love that the bartender gave us cherries to chase it with! Yum! We took a cab back to my house in Queens right after the drinks.
Once we got to my house, we both had a glass of wine. My other friend came over after and we went to bed shortly after because I was so tired from the long week.
Today we woke up around 1. Yeah I really needed sleep!
I went in the kitchen and made a great breakfast!
I started off by making banana chocolate chip whole wheat pancakes! I mixed the whole wheat mix with an egg white, skim milk, and a tablespoon of olive oil.

I added bananas and chocolate chips and poured them into the pan.

They came out funny looking but delicious!

I also made a turkey and cheese egg white omelet for the side.

I used the yolks in my friend’s omelet. It was nice to not have to put the egg yolk to waste!

I brought out some spray butter and syrup for the
pancakes.

Here is my plate:

Best breakfast ever! I also made some crystal light to drink with it.

Yummy! As if that was not enough, my friend said he was still hungry!! He browsed through my cabinets and decided to make oatmeal. I thought he was just going to make 1 packet to be
satisfied. No, he made 3!!!!!!!

I do not know how one can eat so much but okay! I really thought it was going to overflow in the bowl!

It almost did overflow! I made sure to watch it the entire time it was in the microwave to make sure it did not explode.

I had one taste but could not eat anymore! He finished almost all of it, not sure how! I hate that guys can eat anything and everything and never gain weight! So not fair!
Now we are just watching movies and relaxing. We may go out again tonight for a second round of drinks! We will see as the day goes on! Have a good one!

First off, can I please come over to your place for breakfast?!? Banana chocolate chip pancakes? YUM!
That makes me laugh that you put the Zbar box up in a cabinet. I’ve tried that one…but it doesn’t work too well for me. Unfortunately, heights do not keep me from snacking.
$15 for one shot!? Man, I guess I haven’t gone out in a long time.
Happy Sunday.
PS – The amount that boys can eat is totally not fair!
