1 Outta 3 Ain’t So Good

by Heather on October 16, 2009

So I bought 3 things for lunch today.

  1. Sweet Potato
  2. Spinach-Vegetable Soup
  3. Wrap with Mozzarella, Spinach, Tomato

I had planned on putting some sweet potato into the soup to add an extra oomph.  I sliced into my sweet potato to find a not-even-close to being cooked interior.  I thought the warm soup would heat the sweet potato up enough to make it edible so I scooped some up and added it to my soup bowl.

October 16, 2009 033Keep in mind, our cafeteria still has the air conditioning on.  It was freezing!  All I wanted was warm soup.

Next, I moved onto my sandwich – I thought I would eat 1/2 and the move back to the soup.

October 16, 2009 035The sandwich was great.  It is not too often that the cafeteria has this combo without pesto or hummus (two things I am scared to eat with my food allergies).  I was so happy to have this sandwich today – it was great!

I ate 1/2 and moved back to the soup.  First spoonful…I thought I had put a tablespoon of salt in my mouth.  Ok – stir it up a little – try again.  Nope – salt.  That soup was inedible.  Disappointment – 2 (soup and sweet potato)

I ate the other 1/2 of my sandwich and then went back into the cafeteria and got a veggie plate.

October 16, 2009 037Much better. 

As it is Cookie Friday, I thought about the week.  Yesterday I had birthday carrot cake AND dessert at dinner.  Did I really need a dessert? 

I compromised and got Apple Crumble with no ice cream – hey it’s got apple in it.

October 16, 2009 039That, to the right of my apple crisp, is my to-do list’s to-do list.  Excellent. 

Thankfully, I have accomplished MOST of the things off that list today except for the big one – my presentation for tomorrow. 

I see a night in front of the laptop in front of me.

That sandwich looks like it more than made up for the soup and potato! Yum! Good luck with the presentation!

Good luck with your presentation. I’m working on one this weekend, too. It is going to be done with 3 different translators, so I guess I should practice talking slooowly. :-)

Thanks for the good luck wishes – I think the presentations went well!
