today's meals: a less expensive approach to eccentric tastes

breakfast:

• migas with a pint of hefeweizen from the other side

lunch:

• pan grilled arepas with halloumi and cherry tomatoes from trader joe's
• arugula from trader joe's, dressed with oil and vinegar

snack:

• hummus from sabra

dinner:

• bulgogi style frozen short ribs from trader joe's, broiled well on aluminum foil
• brown lentils from trader joe's, microwaved in vacuum sealed package
• mushy peas, steamed from frozen package and mushed with duck fat (rendered from roasted duck legs)
  

very tasty, diverse, and much less expensive than the conventional approach.
