College Dining Journal: 1/4/12

Breakfast today was an asiago bagel from earlier this week that was stashed in the freezer with some onion and chive cream cheese.

For lunch I used a meal credit at the same bagel place to buy a chicken caesar salad.  I can't really say anything else about it except it tasted like a pre-packaged caesar salad, with extremely pale chicken, slightly wilted and bitter romaine, and generic tasting bottled dressing.  I ate the whole thing along with a glass or two of water.

Later that day I went to a different venue to use a meal credit to buy stuff for dinner: A chicken caesar wrap (gosh damn I eat a lot of chicken caesar-related items), some carrot and celery sticks, and a hummus snack pack.

I unwrapped the filling from it's ginormously oversized tortilla, figuring that's where the bulk of the 720 calories laid. 

 

$5.25 doesn't get you much 

 

The carrots were dry and had an unpleasantly flaky feel on the outside, but were still edible nonetheless.  I ate half the pack with some peanut butter, and stored the rest in the fridge. 

The hummus was actually pleasantly garlicky, but the bread was a miserable excuse for a pita that tasted like the most generic carb possible.  The cherry tomatoes, which were actually nicely sweet, felt like afterthoughts since they were only two of them alongside a lonely broccoli floret.  I ended up eating the whole thing either way.  My beverage of choice was a bottle of half tea half lemonade and for dessert I had some chocolate-covered raisins from a Costco-sized jar that I brought up from home... And when I mean some I basically mean two handfuls throughout the night of homework and Facebook browsing.
