Breakfast, 12:00 p.m.

Peanut butter on wheat bread, and a banana.

Snack, 3:00 p.m.

I should have had lunch, but I was going out to my friend
Leslie's for a party. So, I had a snack instead -- Apple
Cinnamon Nutri-Grain bar.

"Dinner," 6:00 p.m.

I use quotes because, while this should have been my dinner,
I barely ate at the party. I can't identify 90% of the food; it was
all traditional Chinese dishes...because Leslie is Chinese and
everyone has been asking her to cook for quite some time.
I had a chocolate cupcake, rice, and a few bites of a lot of other
stuff...something had tofu in it, and something else had pork, and
something else had beans...I don't know. I had a few bites of a
couple of the dishes that looked "safe," and that was about it.

Dinner, 10:30 p.m.

This is my real dinner. I was starving when I got home from
the party, so I cooked up some frozen ravioli and microwaved
some canned corn. Not pictured: Brazilian Acai Berry sorbet --
a.k.a., dessert.

I can't imagine traditional Chinese food contains such arcane ingredients that you couldn't recognize any of it.

Well, there were different meats chopped into pieces so tiny I wasn't sure what *types* of meats they were, and lots of leafy vegetables that I couldn't identify beyond the fact that they were green. There was rice, of course, and tofu. And spices...but I can't tell one spice from another, unless it's garlic or black pepper. There was also a red sauce that made my tongue burn...but again, I don't know what was in it. As for the names of these dishes? I have NO idea, and that's what I meant when I said I couldn't identify the food.
