Food Log Summer 2017 Week 7 As the summer progresses, I notice that I have been paying less and less attention to food. I used to spend an awful lot of time planning every single ingredient of my next meal. Now, I think about literally anything else, such as books, music, software, and cats. Originally,...
Food Log Summer 2017 Week 6
Food Log Summer 2017 Week 6 I spent July 4 weekend in a hotel, so I didn't get a chance to cook. Modern day hotels are aggressive about getting you to accidentally buy their food. Drink bottles filled most of the mini-fridge. You can't even temporarily remove them to get more space because the fridge...
Food Log Summer 2017 Week 5
Food Log Summer 2017 Week 5 This food log is late due to July 4 weekend. I'm not much for parties or fireworks, but I spent a lot of my weekend at Japantown and Trader Joe's. When I was on my computer, I was developing this blog's sister site MusicParsed, which is a no scroll...
Food Log Summer 2017 Week 4

Food Log Summer 2017 Week 2
Food Log Summer 2017 Week 2 In last week's food log, I did little to no meal planning. It's unhealthy to spend all of your free time planning perfectly controlled portions of meals, but it's also questionable to always eat oatmeal for dinner. When I went to Trader Joe's this week, I made sure to...
Food Log Summer 2017 Week 1
Food Log Summer 2017 Week 1 Two summers ago, I was a meticulous meal planner. At any point, I could probably tell you what I'd be eating for the next three meals. I'd precisely measure out portions of overnight oats, monitor slow cooker meals, and chop tons of fresh vegetables. This summer, I'm trying something...
Ukulele Chocolate Cake
Ukulele Chocolate Cake Last spring, I started taking free guitar lessons with the MIT Live Music Connection on a whim. Guitars ended up being too bulky for my taste, so I transitioned to the ukulele. My ukulele and I have been inseparable since then. I used to always deal with stress through food either by cooking ridiculous...
