Numero dos: oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I made for a vegetarian potluck I was attending the next day. I froze the rest of the dough in balls to make in a pinch when company comes over - everyone always appreciates a warm cookie from the oven. This crowd tends to lean towards veganism, so I thought I'd make it clear that eggs and butter were intimately involved in the creation of those cookies. I wouldn't have it any other way, really.

Numero tres: One of my favorite salads in the wintertime is spinach, grapefruit, and avocado. Sometimes I add hardboiled egg for a bit of protein. Arugula is also excellent mixed in when in season (the flowers are incredible if you can find them). The grapefruit is the perfect splash of sunny flavor, matched nicely with a mellow creamy avocado. Here I had the leftovers with some bread and port salut.

Numero quatro: Just a little bento for M. consisting of sourdough, homemade white bean spread (garlic, lemon, parsley, mint), olives, and carrots.

And finally, tonight's dinner. I was feeling like doing some emotional eating somewhere in the meat realm, so I threw together a turkey meatloaf with no recipe whatsoever (very unlike me, but I was hungry and couldn't be bothered). I mushed ground turkey in with breadcrumbs, hot sauce, an egg, worcestire, ketchup, s+p, parsley, and oregano. I remembered hearing somewhere that wrapping meatloaf in bacon kept it moist, so I laid on some strips of turkey bacon (I don't eat the pig) - to delicious results!
