Feb. 29 food diary-- you get used to the high-pitched whining noise after awhile

Breakfast: leftover collards, leftover biscuit with butter, tiny leftover smidge of white bean soup.  With some salt added, it actually turns out to be better than the minestrone.

​Lunch: 1 avocado, 1 cara-cara orange (delicious), 1 banana, 1 "hard-boiled" egg that turned out to be slightly soft-boiled.  Surprising how sustaining this meal was as compared to all the meals of toast 'n'stuff I've been having lately.

In the afternoon, I made the grapefruit sorbet from Jennifer Reese's book, which is basically a solution of fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice (with a little zest) and sugar, processed in a home ice cream maker.  I had forgotten about the incredibly annoying sound the ice cream maker makes if you use the motor instead of the hand crank.  For, according to the instructions, approximately 40 minutes.  The exact pitch of the annoying noise does change from time to time.  However, I am not into hand-cranking it today, either.  Seriously, there is a reason why we never use this ice cream maker that I bought my daughter for her 8th birthday.  After 40 minutes, the sorbet was a barely-frozen slush, but I took it out anyway and put it in the freezer.

Dusty old thing.

Fortunately, you can't hear the horrible noise it is making right now.
Also in the afternoon, I baked my husband's "pie-of-the-month": cherry this time, with cherry pie filling from a jar.  This is actually what was specifically requested.  So, my basic boring pie crust, dump in filling, bake.  It still looked nice and wholesome, especially as I used a fancy pie filling I bought at Whole Foods instead of a can of cheap cherry cornstarch glop.

Shopping (Co-op): pint of vanilla Coconut Bliss "ice cream," curried chickpea sandwich spread, cage-free brown eggs, half and half. $18.

Dinner: sandwiches of curried chickpea spread, avocado, and fried egg, served on whole wheat sourdough bread that had been toasted and buttered.  Little salad of iceberg lettuce and parsley, with honey mustard dressing.  Cara-cara orange.  The bread, which I bought at Whole Foods (and only a couple of days ago), was so dense and tough that it was difficult to eat in sandwich form.  I also had a significant stomachache after dinner.  Usually their bread is good, but this kind definitely needs work.

Dessert: cherry pie with vanilla Coconut Bliss ice cream, while watching John Oliver.  My daughter did not have any pie, because she went to bed early with a migraine, poor thing.  (She took some in her lunchbox the next morning, though.)
​

Snacks: 4 cups of coffee, 2 regular, 2 decaf-- 2 with half and half, and 2 with whole milk (because I ran out of half and half).  Sherry in the evening.  A few tastes of the sorbet to see whether it was totally frozen yet (it wasn't).
