FAIL!

Last night I was so lazy. The roast put me into some sort of "I can't accomplish anything other than play Angry Birds" trance. I was up until 2am and my biggest accomplishment of the night was polishing off two bowls of that roast. When I pulled it out of the fridge to reheat tonight, I was rudely greeted by the nasty layer of congealed fat floating on top of the juices. Luckily, it was just a thin layer on top... at first glance I thought my roast was lodged in a solid block of nasty.

notice the white/fat/nasty trying to engulf the super-yummy roast!

Because I got nothing done, I didn't pack a lunch, think about breakfast for today, or get a good bit of the roast frozen for later. That means lots of roast this week. Yay (semi-sarcastic here.... but semi excited).

Today's menu:
Breakfast... Umm - scratch that. I grabbed a vanilla cup of Activia and some DELICIOUS pecan maple granola (I believe the brand is Bare Naked? Something like that?) with good intentions... but it was shoved into my mini-fridge upon arriving at school and there it is now. As in I'm home from work, my yogurt is not.

Lunch... well, in order to make it to work early to plan what I failed to plan last night for our first post-winter holiday (dare I say Christmas) break, I put on my makeup in the car, gave up on curling my hair, and threw the fixin's for a sandwich in a bag and thought to make it at school. I briefly considered adding a paring knife to slice of up radishes, but I quickly gave up the idea of perfecting that sandwich. Nothing about a science classroom - scratch that... a middle school classroom - is sanitary for food preparation beyond very minimal stirring of a can of soup or possibly some spreading action to create a PB&J. I left my ideas of radishes and sprouts and grabbed the following:

• deli select bread round things (tiny round things that pretend to be bread... but low-cal!) - did I mention they were stale? had no idea.
• possibly-questionable-in-age pimento cheese - how long does that stuff keep?
• mesquite roasted turkey. DELISH

Using a fork to spread my PC - because they don't give knives to anyone in a K-12 institution to my knowledge - I slathered the PC onto the bread, added 4 or so slices of turkey (they are tiny, ok?) and ran to a meeting. Not gourmet, but that combo has failed to disappoint me!

Tomorrow night I am forgoing my own cooking to savor that of a friend. Indian cuisine is on the menu.... I will absolutely report back!
