Single Whale's Diet

Bet many of you would be wondering what a single Whale who chefs for himself would have on a regular basis right?
Wonder No more! But before we go into that, I wanna say that... CHINESE NEW YEAR HAS FINALLY COME FOR ME!! Yups!

An angel has sent to me MANY MANY STUFF!! Including Eu Yen Seng Herbal packets!! Oooo. I'm so happy! Its been my lucky week. Grins. To my santa- THANKS A MIL!
Not knowing if you can expend the pic of my fridge, this would be the general state you will see it early - mid week. As I do my shopping every weekend, it might be pretty much clear sometime
Friday.
As with any week, you'd find Chicken (skinless) and Salmon in the fridge. Every alternate week, I select between Wild and Fresh Farmed salmon for health and cost reasons. Personally, I prefer Farmed Salmon but the Iron aint too good for Whales. For this week, pre-seasoned items include: Lemon-dipped Salmon left chiled overnight, Oven Baked Ruth Ann's Muskego Marinated Chicken and Oven Baked Chicken with Pepper-Lemon Seasoning.
Oh- the pic that U see with the saussage, now, before U start screaming at my unhealthy diet, please know that they are made of TOFU. Totally organic. And seriously, they taste horrible. After forcing myself to eat half, I jsut couldn't go on any further. STAY AWAY FROM IT !
Of course, not forgetting the Eu Yen Seng Herbal Chicken Soup which I have ALREADY opened. Grins. So much chicken, rights?
But hey. Its skinless!
And here you see my old faithful - 5 to 7 cups of Long Jing Tea or Japanese Green Tea, alternating every other day.
Now of course, the all important question- What lies in the deep dark, cool air box? For the week of 12th March, the whale has: Fresh California grown Strawberries for fruits, pre-made vaccum sealed Mashed Potatoes, Half open Hard Tofu, 500gms of Honey Baked Ham and 500gms of Shaved Turkey for sandwhich making, Crimini Mushrooms, Thai Dried Mangos, Immitation Crab Sticks, Non-fat Chadder Chese Slices and Non-fat Cream Cheese. As a luxury, there are 3 boxes of Hershey's Dark Chocolates which I purchased one day after Val Day at 75% off.
So there- the current stock that is meant to feed whale. Given my expenses on Salmon and selecting Non/Low- Fat products, my Weekly Grocerries come out to a SHOCKING USD$70 per week. Not counting my once or twice weekly indulgence of don't know what.
PPss.. DO U SMELL THE AROMA OF THE HERBAL CHICKEN THAT IS IN THE SLOW COOKER? OOO...
To the nice person who sent me LOADS OF STUFF... THANKYOU !

Welcome to my World...

"And at 23, with so much [to] fear, all I ask for is of your continued blessings, grace and watching over. That as you have through all my life, provide for me, guide me, mold me. That not a day goes by that I not look up to the Heavens Above praying for that Big Break but yet knowing that success lies in my own doings...

Be with me as I spread my wings. Guide me, as I fly. Hold me, as I soar.... for my life and works are in your hands..."

For your many many blessings, Thank You
