Ducky Solo Day 12-13

Did not make a post for Day 12.  Nothing much happened.  I went to work and then later went to San Francisco House.  I spent a good 4 hours teaching my mom and dad about how to use their phone or computer, the usual.  I then got struck by summer flu or something.  I could not stop sniffling and having runny nose.  I took some expired anithistamines which were good enough to get me through the night.  The next morning I took the same antihistamines, but they did not work...  Sad days.  We went to eat dim sum and I was sniffly through that.

After I got back to my home on this side of the bay, I spent about 4 hours trying to crack two masterlocks and I succeeded.  Yay now I have locks to use at the gym and I don't have to buy new ones!

Closed?

OPEN

OPEN

I did some laundry, but still haven't folded any of it yet.  I guess I'll do it later.  For dinner, I boiled some gailan and made a fusion of epic proportions!

Gailan. Veggies.

Indonesian Puff Onion Paratha

Costco Barbacoa

All I have to do is microwave!

Tastes Pretty Good

Look at this Fusion.

In short, I made a taco using Indonesian paratha instead of a tortilla.  Tastes pretty good.  I still got more, so I guess this will be my dinner theme for a bit.  Next time I put fish?

I might go bowling in a bit and then come back to FFXIII.  I haven't played much recently.  If time permits, I'll fold clothes.

Ducky Solo Day 11

Work started out bad, but ended on a good note.  We were short someone again, so I had to help out another department again.  However, later in the day other people showed up and helped out so I could go back to doing my own duties.  Besides that all went well.

Sadly, I think I became lactose intolerant.  I need to work on regaining it.  Another special nasty trip to the restroom at work right before my work out too :(.

Tried the hydromassage beds today.  Very relaxing, but I couldn't help but wonder about the drought since it uses water jets to massage you.

Minesweeper

 I tried to play minesweeper, but its pretty hard on a touch screen.  How do you even right click on this thing?


Another week of finishing random stuff I find in the cabinet.  I think I need a trip to costco to replenish my frozen veggies stock.  I still have plenty of carbs to choose from as you can see.  Lots of random meat items, but no veggies.

Carbs for the next 2 weeks.  Man that is a lot of noodles

Edamame

Egg

Wonton

Final product.

 I made a noodle soup from some of the chicken stock, noodles, egg, and last of the wonton.  Tastes ok as usual.

Old Natas de Coco

Mango Flavor

Decided to finally open this old bag of nata de coco.  I'll snack on it throughout the night.  I will be staying over in SF tomorrow night, so I also have to pack.  Probably will play some FFXIII tonight.  I haven't played in so long.

I plan to work out before work tomorrow.  Hope I don't get too sweaty or tired.

Ducky Solo Day 10

Didn't really take pictures today.

Man the day after eating an all you can eat to the max is rough.  This morning I was still feeling some gut weight and was not hungry at all.  I was almost nauseous, but I was able to eat my daily nature valley breakfast!

I went to work and planned to go to the gym afterwards.  So begins my attempts to get stronger!

I didn't feel like eating much meat after last night, so I only packed noodles and stirfry veggies.

I didn't take a picture :(.

Work was ok not really busy today, but was at an ok pace.  I wish I had time to do more of what I needed to do, but we were a bit short handed so I helped other departments out.

After work,  I went to the gym and got my membership card!

Circuit Workout Area

Post workout massage chairs!

The workout went great, but I got a message from a tenant who has been locked out.  I drove to the house 40 minutes away after my work out.  I went up and tried my key, but the key did not go in?  I asked if she had any issues with her key before, but she said it always works just fine.  I thought maybe my dad printed the wrong key, so I went through all the keys but none of them worked.  I called my dad several times, but he was sure it works since he tried it.  I had to call a locksmith to open the door.  When he got here he tried to pick the lock, but it just wouldn't budge.  He then asked the girl what I should have asked earlier.  "Did you stick something in there to try to get it open?"  Turns out she broke the lock by using a knife.  I did not know she had done that.  The locksmith then broke the lock with a drill.  

Sadly, the bill was a whopping $330!!!!!!!!  She paid for it though since she broke the lock and made me drive all that way for nothing.

Now, I am finally home so late.  Didn't even eat dinner.  I hate eating too much late at night so I just am eating grapes and banana and drinking milk. Yum.  Animu my troubles away now.

Sad Dinner 

Ducky Solo Day 9

Uneventful morning was uneventful.  I woke up early and grabbed my lunch and my trusty nature valley bar and headed to work.

Not too busy today, but was busy at a good pace.

Lunch I had my usual.  Left over basil chicken, noodles, and stirfry veggies.

Lunch

I didn't want to eat too much because... dinner was all you can eat korean bbq at Gogi Time in Oakland.

Banchans

The Set Up

 The banchans were pretty standard with some broccoli, kimchi, japchae, bean sprouts, fish cakes, etc.

Charcoal!

 The charcoal was definitely a rarity.  No other place have I been to uses charcoal grills for all you can eat.  I don't think the charcoal added any special flavors, but I did like that the grill didn't really stick anything on to the meat.  It took a much longer time before any burnt meat bits started building up.  The meat selection was very good with some favorites including bbq chicken, bbq pork, and bulgolgi.

We also tried some seafood stuff, but would not recommend them.  The octopus tasted so salty and the squid was just flavorless and rubbery.  The mussels were ok.

Tacos

I was surprised to see that they had a special side dish selection of taco building kit.  I liked that they were tiny tortillas so I can make tiny tacos.  However, those tortillas tasted really cheap and dry.  The cheese also tasted cheap and dry.

Overall, (4/5) in terms of korean barbeques it was definitely a winner.  Gogi time will continue to be a good choice in my book for korean all you can eat barbeques.  Next time I would try coming on a weekday instead.  Fridays and Weekends the waits could be pretty long.  I came with a friend and the two of us waited at least 40 minutes or so for our table with no reservations.

One thing that could have made Gogi better was the use of the waitstaff button, so we would not have to frantically wave down an employee for refills.  Yum.

Ducky Solo Day 8

Today I had early shift.  I woke up around 6:45am got ready and went to work.  I tried to drink some protein with milk this morning.  Tasted ok.

Little did I know that protein mixture made me mega gassy and made me have bad diarrhea!!  Not sure if milk or the protein.  I am a bit lactose intolerant if I do not drink milk frequent enough.

Got off work on time and came home and cleaned up.  Friend is coming over tomorrow.  So no more futon fun!

For dinner I made fish balls, noodles, oxtail thai soup, and stir fry vegetables and edamame.

I'll probably have some grapes later.  My vegetable supply is getting low probably going to have to make a costco trip either this weekend or Monday.  I still have plenty of various meat/proteins in the freezer.

Fish Balls

Last of the Thai Oxtail Soup

Old Edamames

My batch of noodles

StirFry Yum

Final Product for Dinner

This was my lunch for today, tomorrow, and the day after haha.  Stir fry, noodles, and left over basil chicken/pork we made.

Lunch

Going to end my night with the usual FFXIII and Anime.

Ducky Solo Day 7

I woke up a bit later today at around 9:30 AM.  Watered the pineapple plant and onion plant and some random vegetation that is growing in the other pots.

I packaged all the things that Kitty needed returned to Amazon and also wrote this month's rent check.  I watched several Jimmy Kimmel videos about fathers day then random videos about asking mothers what their kids dont know about them and vice versa.  Good entertaining videos.  I then got dressed and drove to UPS to drop the packages off.  

My hair has gotten quite long now.  I plan to get a hair cut next Tuesday maybe.

Well I got back home around 12 noon and had this to look forward to:

Last night's dishes

 Despite not cooking as much, I still generate a lot of dishes in need of washing.

For lunch I made my special random broth, fish balls, and noodles.  Yum.

Thai Style Oxtail Broth

Our good friend the Corn Noodles

Boil Boil

 I ended up just boiling all the noodles and storing them in the fridge for the coming week.

Last of the Frozen Green Beans

Fish balls with Shrimp Filling

Half of the remaining noodles

Yum. Lunch is Served.

 Lunch tasted ok.  I spent the next 3 hours playing FFXIII.  I then went to the gym.  Man I haven't worked out in so long.  I wasn't able to do very much, but its a good first step.  I plan to join this gym.  It is nice enough and the fees aren't too much.  After the gym, I went to do some archery.  Bad idea.  My arms were so tired from doing pull ups and low rows, etc that I could barely hold the bow steady.  Shots were horrible this time haha.


After getting all sweaty,  time for dinner!

Costco Stirfry round 2

Rest of the Corn Noodles

Frozen Wontons

Chicken Stock

I forgot to take a picture of the final soup, but you get the idea.

I didn't feel like grapes today, so ate something much better.  Cookies and Creme ice cream!

Now I'm going to watch a bit of The Irregular at Magic High School and play some FFXIII then go to bed.  I have an opening shift tomorrow, but that means I get to get out early!

Ducky Solo Day 6

Totally forgot to take pics today.  For lunch just had mish mash leftover basil chicken and corn noodles.

Dinner I brought noodles and stir fry.

Dessert was grapes:

Grapes

 Today super busy.  On phones all day. Ring Ring. I'm going to planet fitness tomorrow, so I'll twell you how that goes.

Tired now.  Snacking on grapes and maybe later popcorn.

Ducky Solo Day 5

This morning, I had an early shift so I woke up at around 6:45am, but I snoozed until around 7am then rushed to get out the door.  Good thing I pack lunches the night before and I grabbed my usual breakfast, the delicious Nature Valley bar.  I try to eat it while I drive to keep myself awake haha.  I usually get sleepy on the drive, but today I was good.

Work was busy, and then came lunch.  As you can see, it is just a mishmash of spinach stirfry with costco stirfry, shrimp, and corn noodles.  It tasted okay.  I ate my lunch then got back to work later.

After work, I got home and made the following for dinner:

Vietnamese Rice Vermicelli

Frozen Green Beans

Wontons

Chicken Stock

Finale

It tasted just fine.  Nothing I would serve to Kitty, but it is reminiscent of what I ate in college haha.  I also ate some grapes after wards.  

Going to do my usual for the night and play some FFXIII in a bit.  I'm glad kitty is having much more fun than I am!
