Food Consumption: Snapshot

Statistics on food consumption at our house:
  1. Ben and I (mostly Ben) finished FIVE DOZEN eggs the last month. That averages out to be an egg a day between the two of us. Lots of omelets...
  2. Main sources of protein: eggs and milk (50%) > chicken (30%) > seafood (15%) >> pork and beef (5%)
  3. Our #1 most cooked/eaten meal: congee with a fried egg and dried beef (tastes much better than it sounds!). Cereal might be a close second...
  4. Staples in our fridge and panty: canned tomatoes, pasta, eggs, rice, and frozen chicken breasts.
  5. Favorite junk food: CHIPS (we prefer salty to sweet)
Turns out that I mainly cook and Ben mainly eats. Gotta give him some credit though- he is a pro dishwasher and great with the knife (...I'm pretty scary with a knife, fortunately no fingers cut-off yet).

Typical exchange around 5pm every night:
Lydia: "What should we eat tonight?"
Ben: "..." *takes off headphones* "What?"
Lydia: *louder* "What do you want to eat for dinner?"
Ben: "iunno."
Lydia: *sigh* "Katsu? Congee? Pasta?"
Ben: "umm... " *still staring at his computer screen*
Lydia: "Fine, let's make katsu. I'll take out the chicken from the freezer."
Ben: "Okay."
