End of a LONG Week!

Friday was the last day of our week long Operational Readiness Inspection which we have been preparing for for the last 2 years!!! It has been a VERY long and stressful week, and we won't know how we did on it until Wednesday, but the hard part of this ORI is OVER! 

Beth and I had to do something a little different this week for lunches. The people in charge of the inspection make all eateries off limits and we couldn't go to the chow hall for ridiculous reasons so we made our own lunches. Beth went to the commisary and picked up some food stuffs and then every night before we went to bed we would put together our lunches(so we didn't have to do it before work at 4:00 in the morning). We had ham sandwiches with swiss cheese and honey mustard for the main course the first few days. Beth would have a few Luna bars, some yogurt, some Sunkist fruit snacks, and a piece of fruit for snacks throughout the day. I would have some trail mix, some fruit snacks, some Sechuan barbeque rice chips(they are AWESOME!), a piece of fruit, and a couple of cookies! We also made some chili for dinner one night and  had a TON left over so we had it for lunch too. 

We were usually pretty wore out by the time we got home at night, plus Beth had class, so I would make something very quick and easy for dinner. I was having some trouble once we ran out of leftover chili until I looked in our cupboard and saw that we had some pesto sauce all ready to go(just add the cheese)! So...about 16 minutes later dinner was served! It really was actually pretty good and quite filling, too.

Friday night we were both not feeling like cooking anything but I was hungry. After pulling everything out of the fridge that could possibly be eaten and some serious debating, we finally decided on an omelet(which ended up turning into scrambled eggs because the pan was kinda small). This omelet had some of everything in it, let me tell you! First we sauteed some garlic and onions, then added turkey(I pulled a pre-made sandwich apart for that, ha ha!), spinach, portobello mushrooms, cilantro, broccoli, and sun dried tomato's! After we heated all that up we threw in a couple or 3 eggs, added a few twists of pepper and salt, then topped it off with some sharp cheddar cheese!! I can't even describe to you how good it smelled! Honestly, I couldn't believe how delicious it smelled, and the pan we cooked it in was the perfect size,  I just kind of plopped it out onto a plate, and this is what it ended up looking like:

If only pictures could capture smell as well!

I know its pitch black outside. That's because it was 9:30 at night, and what better time to make scrambled eggs than 9:30 at night?!

Had to capture this from ALL angles!

I don't know if you can tell but I was seriously restraining myself right there! I  couldn't WAIT to bite into it! It was delicious! One of the best dinners I've ever had! It may have been because I was pretty much starving, though:)
