Don't Eat French Fries Twice in One Day

As the title of this post suggests, i surely had 2 big servings of French fries today! (The exclamation point is not because i'm happy with that fact, but rather, that it's somehow awesome. I didn't know i had it in me anymore.)

Breakfast was grits and 3 Boca sausages.

At work i drank 2 little cups of Pepsi.

be arrived with 2 orders of Ranch 1 fries with cheesy dipping sauce around 7PM.

Instead of a real dinner, we checked out the ex-All About Food, reopened as Deli 32 or something, in hopes that they were still making pizza. They got rid of the pizza bar but the hot buffet had lobster! be got 4 pieces for $3.53! Granted, it's previously frozen, but where else can one get lobster for $5.99/lb? I had Looza mango juice and an avocado roll from the sushi bar.

We walked to Whole Foods and bought: scone mix, 3 packages of St. Yves "The Good Dog," 1/2 lb Costa Rican Peaberry coffee, Quorn fake chicken cutlets and a box of real oatmeal (because i saw an episode of Good Eats).

We met up with O at a bar downtown, which was hosting this terrible comedy open-mic. I didn't know it was possible for so many people to NOT be funny.

Late dinner ended up being at Veselka on 2nd Ave in the East Village. I had a grilled cheese with fries, be had 4 broccoli and cheddar pierogies and O had beef stroganoff and soup. The grilled cheese was good; they used real cheddar but their challah bread isn't the best in the neighborhood. For the BEST grilled cheese, check out B&H Dairy, also on 2nd Ave but at St. Mark's. Trust me, i've had grilled cheese all over the country and B&H makes the absolute best one.

We're obviously failing miserably in the no-more-eating-out rule.

On another note, i keep reading about the new dietary guidelines the government put out recently. They ditched the food pyramid and increased the suggested servings of fruits and vegetables from 5 to 9. They added beans and tofu to the protein category as well. Remember back in the day it was all about "The Four Food Groups?" Check out the New Four Food Groups, based on a plant diet. You'll never see anything like that given the meat, dairy and sugar lobbyists in DC!
