 December 7, 2020 Lunch – Vietnamese Shrimp and Fish Ball Noodle Soup. Dinner – Turkey Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato Sandwich

This was a low food, low energy day that I really enjoyed. I slept until 8:30 and talked to Luke for a while and then worked until 12;30.  

 I decided to make a Vietnamese Shrimp and Fish Ball Noodle Soup.

I filled a 2 quart pot 2/3 full of water and then added a tsp. of dehydrated dashi, three mushrooms sliced, a tsp. of seaweed , rice stick noodles and wheat noodles, seven shrimp, a heaping T. of white miso, a Pho seasoning cube, three green onions sliced into thin ringlets, and five leaves of Napa cabbage.  In about thirty minutes when the noodles and all the ingredients were cooked I ate 1 ½ bowls of soup with lime juice and cilantro leaves.

The soup did not agree with me. So I ate a chocolate chi cookie and a cup of green tea and lay down and read and dozed until Suzette arrived, when I worked for another hour until we left for Costco.

When we arrived at Costco there was not a very long and we got in in about ten minutes.  

Suzette wanted to shop for her Employees’ Christmas Warehouse, where they can pick items as gifts plus her normal weekly shopping and stocking up on items for the home.  We took two carts and completely filled both of them with $1,400 of items.  

The items we bought for the house included, Starbucks hot chocolate, filet Mignon, Jarlsberg cheese, a rack of lamb ribs, pita chips, peanuts, eggs, cream, butter, butter lettuce, an extension cord, and candelabra light bulbs.

We did not get back home and unpacked until 8:30.

I had eaten a hot dog at Costco, but was a little hungry as was Suzette.  We decided to split a Turkey Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato Sandwich.  We used slices of the turkey white meat from Thanksgiving on toasted whole wheat bread smeared with mayo and honey mustard with slices of tomato, avocado and lettuce leaves.  It was a delicious sandwich and a fitting end of a low food day.

Bon Appetit
