The Eating Disaster

Eating at home was a complete DISASTER. On our way up, I packed tuna fish sandwiches and organic animal crackers so we wouldn't be slaves to fast food. It all went downhill from there. We got candy at the parade and bought an order of fries and chicken fingers to share at the fair. We went to the local greasy spoon for breakfast the next morning. My sister came up for the day, was bored and made cookies. John said, "did your sister make cookies and then leave?" hahaha. Like, "not fair! leaving them here to tempt us!"
That night for dinner, we got some "extra lean" meat at a small grocery store. It was really 80%! John feels 80%? - you might as well shoot animal fat directly into your veins. He was disappointed, but decided to cook it anyway. I was with the kids and he was outside at the grill. After a while, I came down to see if they were finally ready and he says, "well, the burgers are inedible." Looking, I need no explanation - there is an entire plate, heaped high with hockey pucks. Matching charred buns were close by. My skeptical mind immediately thought, "you burned those on purpose!" Oh well, I know he didn't. He was so stressed he wasn't even going to eat. Keeping my own stomach and the kids in mind, I head over to Hometown Pizza and pick up the best choice at the time. At least we all ate.
The next day we did the Eddie's/Hank's run. (For those of you who don't know, Eddie's is a famous footlong hot dog place with "special sauce" and Hanks is a famous frozen custard place. Both have been around for over 60 years.) John and I both had footlongs with "the works" and 2 scoops of vanilla =) I had a "works" on one of our early dates... and he was impressed. Now, not so sure it's impressed he's feeling.

You may need a full body cleanse just reading this. (John is on low-carb now.)
