Well thank god...
Aug. 16th, 2003 09:35 pmSo Friday night I got Chinese, but it wasn't too enjoyable. (Meatless fried rice, plain low mein (mien?). *yawn*) Ate leftovers from it for lunch and dinner today. Continued not to be very satisfying. Around it I ate popcorn and some chips. The low m(ei|ie)n was really greasy, so I still probably had more calories than I wanted, even though I didn't enjoy the food. Sucky.
Tomorrow I'll have more of the fried rice to eat, and I'll probably make egg/cheese as the other meal of the day. I think I'm almost at a week of this (just checked, yep, tomorrow is a week). I certainly don't feel any worse, but I don't think I can claim to feel (physically) any better either -- except in one way: In general, I've been eating less, either until I'm full or until I'm just not hungry anymore. Other than one night when I got pizza, I haven't eaten to the so-full-I-want-to-vomit/not-move point. That's actually a nice thing... though I am really hungry now. That's my fault though, as I'm doing the sucky-weekend-eating thing.
Hungry, hungry.

Not sure where you got the Chinese, but Lucky Chinese's vegetable chow mien is pretty good. But, like most fried Chinese foods, somewhat greasy.
I really like szechuan green beans, but it tends to be spicy. If you ate tofu, I would recommend fried tofu with black mushrooms. The nice thing about fried tofu in sauce is that it is texturally indistinguishable from meat, and soaks up surrounding flavors so it doesn't really 'taste' of anything.

Date: 2003-08-18 08:46 am (UTC)Yeah, I mostly knew a week wasn't long enough to tell anything. While ethics are my main reason for it, if there's some sort of a health benefit side effect, that'd be nice.
I went to Potsticker King for the Chinese. I don't think I've ever been to Lucky, is that a chain or one individual place?

It's a chain, although I am not sure where all the stores are. The ones I know of are at Grant and El Camino, in south Mountain View (near the junction of 85 & 237) and in the San Antonio Shopping Center (north Mountain View, almost in Los Altos).
They're like a good version of Mr. Chau's ;), a fast-food style restaurant, but the food is better. I also like Panda Express, in a pinch.

Panda Express
I've seen them here and there, but I've never checked them out. Mmm, Chinese.
