Back to life…

back to reality…

Good morning…

The view out my window this morning in Philadelphia.

Good Morning Philly. #viewoutmywindow (at Philadelphia, PA)

Spending some time this morning going over the Electoral maps. It really does look like Obama barely won when you look at this map.

But  Mark Newman (Department of Physics and Center for the Study of Complex Systems, University of Michigan) has spent some time morphing the maps to match population, electoral college votes, county results, and I think most telling is this map which has shades of purple based on the Dem v Rep voting on a map altered by population. The country is not as divided as it sometimes seems.

‎”We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are and forever will be the United States of America.” – Barack Obama

 

Steak Salad

Lunch for Amanda today was mostly “left-overs”.  Roasted Beets from Wednesday. Cauliflower from Tuesday. Steak and Peppers from Wednesday, mixed with some greens from our EarthBox, which has been very neglected the last few weeks, but is still doing great.  Add to that some Craisins and Carrots, and it was an easy Thursday Lunch.

Post-election Bliss

Lunch for Amanda, she left the Planetbox at work, so it had to be in Tupperware. It is not as much fun to pack the lunch when the I don’t have the Planetbox, not sure why. Grilled steak and peppers, not as rare in person as it looks in the photo. Large pieces of cucumbers cut into flower shapes. roasted beets.  Man, I love roasted beets.

Lunch for Amanda. Tri-tip steak and peppers. Cucumbers. Roast Beets. Always a bummer when the #planetbox gets left at work. #iwanttobeahousehusband

Bacon got some dog soup. I cooked some zucchini with chicken thighs. Took the chicken out and blended the zucchini into a soup, added back the chicken with some cucumbers and celery for crunch. Served with some dry food, she was very happy.

Bacon got up early for some dog soup.

One of the best things about the changing season is GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES. Amanda made me a whole plate of mini grilled cheese sandwiches and some Tomato Soup!!!!

Grilled cheese and tequila. My wife loves me.

Taco Tuesday

So for Taco Tuesday, I think that is what today is, we have a delicious Roasted Corn Salad, Cucumbers, Carrots and String Cheese, Mexican Chocaolate Spiced Almonds, and three Lettuce tacos with Chorizo-spiced Chicken and Avocado. I have been gone for a few days, so haven’t been able to make Amanda lunches, so trying to step up my game.
