OK, I must explain myself about tonight's eating schedule. It was a little thrown off because I hung out with my sister and had some other errands to run right after work. After I left my sisters place one of the errands was to get limes for some salsa I'm making tomorrow night. I went to the Ballard Market to get some organic citrus and made the mistake of walking by the bulk food's isle. They have the most amazing selection of bulk, organic candy and chocolate. Right when I glanced down the isle I started salivating, literally. I was craving it pretty hardcore. So I went around and picked small pieces of what you see above out of their respective containers.

When I got home I felt full from the sweets even though I hadn't had much. But I wanted to get something in my stomach that was somewhat nutritious before bed, so I made a mini meal. Not a 5 block meal by any means and probably not even that balanced (carb-fat-protein ratio wise), but substantial enough.

Next time I'll do myself a favor and not step foot on that half of the store. It's way too tempting.
