One of the best Seinfeld episodes ever. On right now. Why are you still reading this?
Anyway, lots of snacks today. I was hungry.
Pear this morning:
I am usually skeptical of Trader Joe’s pears, but these are actually good.
Grapes:
Not frozen. Let me ask you a question – red or green? Chris says red. I think I prefer green. Are red really sweeter, or is he just making things up again?
Z bar:
Fairly self-explanatory, I’d say.
And then for dinner, I made this random eggplant/pasta/mozzarella concoction:
I’d post the recipe, but that’s about it. Cut up an eggplant into chunks, saute in a little olive oil, mix with some pasta sauce, 4 ounces or so of cooked penne, and about three ounces of fresh mozzarella. Bake for 15 minutes. Voila!
Here’s my plate:
And now I’m having a few chocolate chips:
I also had a random meringue and two chocolate covered raisins. I was trying to decide what I wanted. I like to test things out and see how I feel about them.
Good night!
I vote green.
Seinfeld=awesome. I have the box set, I don’t ever get anything done.
I can’t wait to go back home and check out that new Trader Joe’s in Brooklyn!
That pasta looks so yummy! Then again I’m Italian so ALL pasta looks yummy to me.
Seinfeld = aaaaaamazing.
I love red, green, AND black grapes – I don’t discriminate!! 😀
Always red grapes!!
I prefer red grapes, but I love them all! 🙂
I prefer red, I’ll eat green, I dislike black, and I hate seeds.
ps. Where is the muffin top you are speaking of? I was hoping to see one – they do make such a thing. Just the top of a muffin is pretty much the best thing ever.
**Unless you are referring to a stomach sitting on top of pants that are too tight. Not the best thing ever.
I prefer red… I do eat green though.
I like to test snacks out before I pick one too.
red grapes all the way. i do think they’re sweeter, although i will eat green if neccessary :>
I’m so jealous of your TJs! We have them in Boston, but none of them are convenient– unless I want to lug bags all over the city. You should try their frozen crab cakes. So good! 🙂
I LOOOOVE that episode of Seinfeld! That and the soup kitchen are #1 in my book 🙂
I agree – red grapes….sorry!
omg, i can’t believe all these red lovers. I am green all the way!! I won’t even look at a red grape!
It’s true, red are sweeter. I love your pasta.
And I love Seinfeld too!
See Ari? I know All Things.
I too think red are sweeter, but more importantly I rarely get bad red grapes and I often get bad green grapes. From a cost perspective, I have to go red.
I think red are sweeter but I like that green are firmer. And less dusty. Yes, I do wash my grapes, but sometimes that dust (er, dirt) won’t come off.
I am incredibly impressed that you only ate two chocolate covered raisins. I have been known to eat dozens of those.
Am new to commenting – love your writing and the blog!
How dare you tease about seinfeld.
I mean not saying which episode was on….
not fair.
and oh yeah…I go red all the way.
i like them both for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
red might be sweeter but they get mushy too fast. and green will never let you down
Olga –
I wouldn’t either. Thanks for backing me up on the grapes.
Essentially Me –
I bet yours would be much better, if you’re Italian. I’m Irish.
VeggieGirl –
You are right about that.
Nicole –
Seems to be a popular opinion!
Laura –
See?
Brittany –
Do they still even sell grapes with seeds? I wish I had a muffin top. And not the kind you get by eating too many muffins.
magpie –
Equal opportunity grape eater.
Kati –
I like the “if necessary.”
Tina –
Yeah, with the other location in Union Square, I had to carry them about 10 blocks and on two different trains. Not fun. But I’m used to lugging crap around all the time.
Melissa –
It’s okay, I understand.
winningfriendswithsalad –
I knew you’d be on my side.
Erin –
I’ll give you a pass on the grapes since you’re a Seinfeld fan.
apollocreed –
Apparently.
badger reader –
Really? I never noticed that.
Serena –
Thank you!
Matt –
It was the top of the muffin to you episode with Mr. Lipman.
Rhodey –
Oops, missed you. I agree.
green. Always green. and firm grapes. never mushy. (this sounds messed up.) better than saying hard, i must say.
Yay Trader Joe’s/Ming’s/Josephs/etc. I like how they switch Joe on the package depending on the type of food
