little plate feasting

Yesterday's long workout left me exhausted, and decided that I deserved to sleep in for all of my hard work. After rolling out of bed at a very disrespectful hour, I had a bowl of raisin bran crunch, some "hard tack" fried biscuit crackers, and a mango melona bar.....beginning to get sleepy again....

after warming myself up under the covers (and napping a bit more), it was time for dinner. Gluttonous, aren't I??

Dinner looked very Japanese, with many, many small plates filling the table. They were actually all filled with an assortment of leftovers we well as new dishes. Having a little bit of this, and a little of that definitely makes the re-played food seem more fun, rather than sitting down to an exact replica of a previous meal. I definitely love when meals are served this way, although honestly, I never cook that way myself when I'm out of the house. It's just too much work! Seems to be more of a dying old-country art. We had:
-salmon
-cucumber-crab-tomato salad (like sunomono)
-green beans mixed with leftover gylan (mom's leftover chinese food) in black bean sauce
-korean chicken wings, re-coated in a tastier sauce ala mom
-grilled king mushrooms
-fish stick patties
-cucumber kimchee
-white rice

After a 45 minute swim (and of course, obligatory indulgent soak in jacuzzi and sauna), I refueled my body with a toasted peanut butter sandwich on wheat and another wonderful nectarine. Time for bed!
