Retire My Goggles!

‘Cause I’m done with chem lab 👿 !!!! WHOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!

DSC06489

My professor took that photo

:mrgreen: this !

Actually, today’s lab was the coolest we’ve done – probably intentionally. We made soap! But it was still too corrosive to use as such…

DSC06488  DSC06490

I had an empty hollow in my stomach after lunch. I swear when I don’t have whole grains at lunch I have that feeling (and I don’t think the little bit of wheatberries was enough). You’d think the protein and fat from the salmon + cottage cheese and the fiber from the veggies + apple would be good enough, but something was just missing to completely take away my noontime hunger.

So when I got home at 4:30, I pulled out a frozen Homemade Oatmeal Snack Bar to have for a snack (so as to try to use stuff up instead of open the box cereal that I was craving.) Unfortunately a semester in the freezer gave this touches of freezer burn, but luckily the Honey Cinnamon Peanut Butter covered that up pretty well.

With tea –

We ate dinner a little earlier tonight around 6:30. On the menu were Mushroom + Havarti Omelets!

DSC06497

The husband brought home some almost-bad mushrooms (he’s been rolling in the damaged food items this week – he also brought home a badly dented gallon of milk that was in the “throw out pile.” EF donates what food it can to the local food pantry, but sometimes they can’t get there in time and things get thrown out.) The mushrooms made a perfect complement to the omelets I had planned. Each omelet had 2 eggs, about an oz of shredded havarti and shrooms. Plus a dollop of Fage Total, which was so rich it went perfectly.

DSC06501

Extra shrooms on the side –

DSC06498

Plus a slice of GH Dakota toast with homemade pumpkin butter –

DSC06499

DSC06496

I’m off to make some Organic flash cards. The lab is over, but the worst is yet to come in the class: Test IV and the Final Exam.

I hope I can squeeze in a little reading in bed too 😉

    I LOVE that you are getting to use so much free food. Have you heard of the dumpster divers? It’s people that actually go through the dumpsters outside of grocery stores and salvage food that’s still good. Kind of gross, but your way is much more sanitary, hehe. I think it’s awesome and majorly environmentally friendly. Can’t wait to hear about the next thing the husband brings home! (Plus, you probably get to try all sorts of things you might not otherwise, like Fage Total – and if you don’t like it you don’t feel bad about throwing it out!)

    Havarti is one of my favorite sandwich cheeses! I never buy it though. I should start.

    If you like Havarti, you might like farmer cheese. Don’t be put off by the name. I used to work in a deli; I know my cheese!

    I am very jealous of your goggles for chem. Haha – we have the WORST ones ever. They strap on your head but half the time they fall off and the other half (when they actually stay on) you get a crease on your face.

    In food news….I love the sound of that omelet! Congrats on being done with Chem!! Must be a relief!

    This is a question for all mushroom lovers. I have never liked mushrooms. I think because of the texture; however, I was wondering if there was a very palatable kind or way of preparing them that makes them less squishy and earthy? If kath or anyone has thoughts on shrooms for beginners, please let me know!

    Rachel ,
    There’s no onion chopping in this house!

    HangryPants ,
    I think the High 5 Fiber is my favorite (the one with big flax seeds in it) but I also love the Honey Wheat.

    lexi ,
    🙂

    Rose ,
    I told him it was for my food blog – and that I wanted to show how FUN chemistry is to my readers!

    daphna ,
    I know – I do feel lucky about only one semester. But we crammed a year’s worth of material in (this was for nutrition peeps to squeeze it in)!! Just not in quite the detail of 2 semesters.

    amber ,
    Circulon. Love it!

    melissa ,
    Try them IN things before you try them by themselves. That’s how I learned. In sauces and such.

    Kath, have you ever tried dill havarti, its a block of havarti with the herb dill in it. I’m not sure how they get the dill in there , but it is really yummy. I say score on the EF free goods. I worked in restaurants and delis and was always disturbed by how much is wasted. I am always bringing home leftovers that otherwise would have gone to waste.
