The day is done and I am a Rock Star! I am 100% + done with school for this week.
This morning I worked straight through breakfast but around 1 I prepared lunch for A and I. We bought this Arnold Everything Rye bread on Thursday so we knew we wanted sandwiches.

Tuna salad! We use a little bit of mayo and a LOT of pickle relish in our tuna salad.

I sprinkled hot paprika on my portion, I had about 1/2 a can (since A ate 1.5cans!)

{More his/hers} I added salt and pepper and cheddar cheese to the bowl after I took my portion out.

I ate my sandwich along with a sliced plum and some Dirty Salt and Vinegar chips.

All together.

I did morework and a little later I made this split-tastic bowl.

A sliced banana, a sugar free banana fudge pudding, 1 crunched double stuff oreo, and a few cinnamon brown sugar almonds.
.more work.
When I was 80% of the way done I went to the gym. I did 35minutes on the treadmill – 1minutes walking/2minutes jogging for 3.4miles. Then I did 5minutes of abs and stretching on the mat and 5minutes of arms on the machines. In spite of being a total fat ass for the last 6months we discovered I can now do 40lbs on some of the arm machines – more rock starness!
After the gym I walked to Staples to do work and to Union Market to buy fruit and a surprise for A, I also bought this Naked Gold Machine Juice for the walk.

Then home, and then to Starbucks to do my final piece of work.

I ordered a tall nonfat iced latte so I wouldn’t feel bad sitting at a bench but A came down a bit later and drank 90% of it. I made grade reports for all of my students that show every assignment so far this semester and the grades they earned on them. I have high hopes that kids do make-up in the next 2weeks but it looks like I will be failing a lot students my FINAL QUARTER of teaching.
Once done I came home and made a late lame/awesome dinner.

This was Tofu -Deveganized! I drained and pressed a block of extra-firm tofu then cut it in half. Then I cut a hole in the side of the block, careful not to cut through to the other side. In the hole I stuffed turkey pepperoni and reduced fat mozzarella cheese. I covered the hole with a small slice of tofu, rolled the block in egg and breadcrumbs, and fried in .5t evoo.

Awesome.

On the side sauteed A and I some frozen broccoli rabe with wasabi sesame seeds and then added in the leftover dipping egg for the last few minutes of cooking.

It was inedible – the frozen rabe was cheap and it was all bitter bitter stems. This dish was more bitter than a fat wife whose ex-husband just married an 18year old. My other failure was the Stonewall Kitchen Wasabi Mustard I tried to use as a dipping sauce, also terrible. But the tofu?

Fabulous. I would, however, recommend baking at 450* for 30minutes instead of frying, I was pressed for time.
I tried a few sips of A’s beer but ended up going with a diet Dr Pepper cherry.

I totally had to have dessert. Turkey Hill Mint Choco Chip ice-cream with 2 double stuffs crunched over the top.

Mint chip is a favorite of mine but this might be the best kind I’ve ever had, go Turkey Hill!
A and I have super fun plans to celebrate a work free day tomorrow, I can’t wait! Sweet dreams all. I will end with some bonus questions -
- What are you excited for on Sunday?
- What do you put in your tuna saldd?
- What is your favorite ice-cream flavor?

2. Tuna salad – I hate canned tuna, but for chicken salad I add in grapes, celery, mustard, etc
3. Choc. chip cookie dough.
Your sandwich looked great even though I don’t like tuna. I’ve only recently developed a taste for rye bread. I like its unique tang.
