Today I haven’t eaten anything that wasn’t handed to me through a window. If this week is any indicator of the year to come, I think I may be in for a bout of scurvy.
It occurred to me – on my second trip to Tim Horton’s today- that this way of “convenience” eating cannot really be faster. If I used the travel time to prepare the food instead, I would probably be ahead of the game. Now, I have been busy this week – S is home sick and I have essays and exams due at school. Still, when I am already running at full speed, would it not be better to eat properly and try to stave off the cold bug floating around here?
I bought Bok Choy last week with the absolute sincere intention to make a stir fry. I refuse to throw it away, even though it has now wilted into a sorry looking bag of wet leaves. The fridge is well stocked, and the fruit bowl remains overflowing. S and N have been eating pears like they are going out of style, and I still drive 10 miles to buy sub-par food for myself. I swear, trying to eat healthily is harder than quitting smoking (I did that 11 years ago, but only because someone ELSE’S life depended on it.)
I have an acorn squash on the counter, patiently waiting for me to decide its fate. That’s what I am. A vegetable sadist. I think I may make him a little leather mask and ball gag.
Good thing squash is a winter vegetable. I think that is when I may get around to cooking it.

Damn all that so-called helth food stuff. If it doesn’t taste good to me, I sure as heck won’t eat it. “But we’re only telling this for your own good” I’ll decide what’s for my own good.
