Year 2, Day 101: Seattle

We were all just pondering on the incredibly frigid temperatures in Boston today. It was about 58 degrees and raining hard for the second day in a row. I don't mind the nice warm summer rain, but this definitely felt more like the cold February rain and none of us liked it. It really can put you in a sour mood, so much so that you can't possibly eat salad, even if you crave it. So it was off to the Chinese restaurant.

Breakfast
3 Eggs, Over Easy
1/2 Chicken Chorizo Sausage
Tea

Snack
12 oz. Coffee (half decaf)
2.5 oz 50% Jalapeno Cheddar
6 Stalks Celery
2 Tablespoons SCPB

Lunch: Shin Yuan Chan
Pork, Cabbage and Peppers
Beef with Chinese Celery
Hot and Sour Soup

Dinner
Salad with Feta, Broccoli and Cabbage
Beef Stew

I am a big Hot and Sour soup fan, but lately I've been suspicious because I know how it's made—that is with cornstarch (for thickening). Dieters are supposed to stick with wonton (broth only) or egg-drop soup (high in protein, low in carbs). But the waitress today thought we were having the 'special' so she brought us the soup in advance, which we accepted gladly, because as I mentioned, it was a cold cold day. We ordered everything extra spicy, and it was good.
