Self-Serve

So, if grocery stores make a profit that they, in turn, pay their cashiers with, shouldn't I get a discount on food for "checking out" myself?

To My Cohort...

What can I say today? March third. 3/3.


"A date which will live in infamy" No that's not it...


"You are the straw that breaks my camel's back" Hmm... that can't be right...


"You... complete me." 


Yeah. That's it. You complete me.

"Have your cake and eat it too"


It's your birthday.  I won't tell if you don't leave leftover*. ;)

Have you ever ...

... made several servings of something (a large bag of microwave popcorn, a salad kit from Costco, several portions of General Tso's chicken, etc) and eaten all but one bite?  The miniscule leftovers aren't because you were "out of room" (let's be honest, that level was reached several hundred calories ago) but because then you can know you didn't eat all of it, just most.

I did this yesterday.  It was the chicken.  I waited too long to have lunch.  By the time it was ready I was ravenous.  Low blood sugar, making me woozy kind of hungry.  And so, over the course of half an hour, I ate my way through a week's worth of lipids.  This is not an easy task.  Nor do I recommend it. 

Plowing my way through so much food made me sleepy.  It takes a lot of energy to digest those fats.  And so I took a nice hour and a half nap.  But not before I proudly put my leftover* in the fridge.

















































*Yes, the singular is correct.  One piece of chicken.
