Good things and other things

Day three of better food choices... Began oddly. I had read a really distressing little book by Neal Schusterman (If you have not, you must read The Schwa was Here...) and had weird nightmares afterward. Oddly, the involved the logo from Elephant Walk, a Cambodian restaurant in Cambridge, MA, and the work scene from Dumbo (yes, the Disney movie)...

...I woke up humming "we're happy, hearty roust-abouts" which may or may not be the right words.

Choice 1: Finish

• milk with a lovely bowl of Frosted Flakes
• cage free eggs
• free range chicken with onion, tomato and pineapple over pasta
• organic chocolate bar

Choice 2: Avoid

• Yummy hut
• highway convenience foods (missed McDonald's a leader in humane animal welfare and avoiding deforestation)
• mystery eggs

Day 4 began with "expired food bingo" at my parents' house. I never notice how much expired food is squirreled away in my house until I move or I visit a family member and see what they have. At least I come by this tendency honestly.

I then annoyed the waitress at the Irish breakfast place by asking where the eggs came from. (She might have offered "hens" as an answer, imho). Ate porridge and a lovely scone. For lunch, peanut butter and jelly on "whole wheat" type packaged bread.

Dinner: Cheesecake factory. Stunning selection of lovely-looking food. Arugula salad (yummy and with imported cheese) and guacamole (generous portion) and chips. Nice crusty bread. I've never been to Cheesecake factory before. Lovely.

Day 5: Bagels from the local bagel place....also Thanksgiving day. ...we shall see what happens
