Four days in and I'm still going strong. I've been doing an apple or orange for breakfast, a rice cake with natural peanut butter for lunch, and usually some sort of salad for dinner. I haven't been getting as creative with dinners as my cohorts, so I've decided I needed to step it up.
Last night I decided to make stuffed peppers. I sauteed some diced onions and mixed them in with brown rice and black beans. Not my ideal stuffing mixture, but it had to do. After an hour of prep work, the peppers were stuffed and ready to be cooked. I opened the preheated oven door to a big "Woomp Wah." Nothing. My oven wasn't working! Here's the embarrassing part: I don't know when it stopped because I haven't used it in almost four months. I found out today the pilot light had gone out from lack of use and not something major. Oops!

| NOT what my peppers looked like! |
For my mushy microwaved stuffed pepper side dish, I went with some spinach leaves drizzled with a little balsamic vinegar. To top off my pleasant meal experience (and about five minutes in to Million Dollar Listings New York),a piece of spinach hit my fork just right and shot vinegar directly into my eye. SON OF A B****! I had to drop everything a run to a sink to splash water on my eye.
I hope my weekend in the kitchen goes better. If not, it's back to rice cakes for me. This weekend will be my first not-drinking-while-being-capable-of-drinking-in-a-drinking-environment experience, so wish me luck!
