Bad Food Day--October 4

The Bible says "in all things give thanks".  And I am thankful for every meal--even the not so good ones.  This probably sounds like whining, considering that everyday, people go to bed hungry.  So let's see...what  is the best way to say that you had a "bad food day"?  I had a bad food day.

It started off well--fried eggs with feta cheese and kalamata olives on whole grain bread (and a little mayo) for breakfast.  Water and a cup of joe to wash it down.

Lunch was pushed late in the day due to a busy schedule.  I had a taste for a burrito so I found a plaza with two options--Rio Wraps and Taco Bell.  I decided to try the Taco Bell.  It was newly built--a very modern looking building with southwestern architectural details.  As I looked at the drive through menu, I was amazed at the number of ways it was possible to spin the same basic ingredients--beans, tortillas, beef/chicken, rice and more beans.  Like every other fast food place, they offered multi-fruit drinks that promised to satisfy the thirsty.

I ordered two bean, rice and cheese burritos with a limeade and had food in my car in about 26 seconds.  I'm sure someone measures these things.

I added one of their new hot sauces to my steaming burrito.  As I unfolded the tortilla to apply the sauce, I wondered how they were able to make the cheese look like Elmer's wood glue.  I was hungry and quickly ate one burrito.  I took a sip of the once tantalizing limeade.  My stomach began to hurt.  The drink tasted like lemon lime soda pop with a touch of lime Kool-aid.

What?  You say I'm harsh?  Well, tell that to my digestive system!  I didn't feel that great for the rest of the day.

For dinner, the really gorgeous chef prepared cured collard greens and pasta with white sauce.  Dessert was two artisan roasted frosted cherry pop tarts.  By the way, cured means "a lot of salt".

The following morning I woke-up with a fuzzy head.  Not fuzzy due to not shaving but rather, fuzzy feeling.  I deduced that this was due to a sodium overload the day before.  As the day wore on and after I drank a few glasses of water, the fuzziness went away!

Summary:

Breakfast--two eggs over easy with Kalamata olives and feta on whole wheat with mayo

Lunch--Taco something burritos and toxic lemonade

Dinner--cured greens and bow tie pasta with white sauce.
