Default Whatcha eatin' these days?

I only had a tiny bit of rice leftover. Normally would have thrown it out
but didn't. Used it tonight in a vegetable soup just for me. Was good but
now I have a headache and think I am coming down with what Angela has. Was
only able to eat a few bites of it and became exhausted. Was actually
sleeping pretty well but had a wacky dream about petting a little black bull
that was attacking me with its horns. One horn was sharp. Then Angela woke
me. So end of the good sleep.

I didn't have any made up sides for her and did look at the grocery store.
Somehow I thought something new would pop up. Like maybe a whole wheat
pasta or brown rice with veggies. Nope. They had nothing. I did see a
breakfast sandwich on a wheat muffin. Looked at the ingredients. It was
just an English Muffin. Not whole wheat. So why did they even mention the
wheat? What else would it be? Yes, there are gluten free ones made of yams
but... I don't think I've ever seen any others.

So I decided to make whole wheat biscuits. Subbed Nucoa for the butter and
water for the milk. I had planned to eat one with my soup but wound up
eating two since I didn't feel like I could stomach the soup. I wasn't
really thrilled with the biscuits but Angela liked them so that's all that
mattered. She had the rest of the Rissoles. And some green beans.

I had thought about going out to eat tomorrow when we go to see my dad but
with us being sick, that might not happen now. I might actually not really
be sick. Could just be the lack of sleep and that Bactrim that I am taking.
We'll see.

If we don't go out, I bought some boneless, skinless chicken breast for
Angela. It's cooked. Not pre-packed though. Looks moist. I hope she
likes it. Also bought some "American" salad because she disliked the baby
salad mix that we got at Whole Foods. And there are biscuits left. I'll
have the rest of the while wheat and sweet potato gnocchi.
