Food

Last weekend, I did nothing but binge on glorious food!

Saturday started with a hefty serving of mushroom in scrambled eggs and tuna. The tuna was really tasteful as it had mushrooms and garlic with it. It was so delicious, I needed to have at least a third helping.

Lunch was okay, I guess, with beef in tomato sauce being the main course. And then dinner - a sumptuous serving of penne in pesto sauce! It really worked up my appetite for the whole day. Unfortunately, it had carbohydrates written all over it, which of course, I totally neglected.

In between lunch and dinner, I had two helpings of ice monster! Two helpings! Can you imagine that? One cookies and cream and one mango teaser. It was really all too much for one person who is supposed to be on a diet.

My next sumptuous meal came the next day in the form of fried cold cuts. Of course, they weren't cold anymore because they were fried. What is it with our country that tells us to fry cold cuts when they were actually meant to be served cold? These processed meats have already been pre-cooked and is hence ready to eat. The idiosyncracies of our culture, really.

For lunch, my whole family went to a local Japanese fast food where they serve really great meals! I had tonkatsu, tempura and misono, with a helping of potato balls on the side. That's calories after spoonful of calories, mind you. After that meal, I felt like I couldn't eat another bite for the next week or so.

Lo and behold! Dinner came and I had more food to eat! We went to a children's party where they served barbecue, spaghetti (in two sauces), roasted pig, beef stew, pot pie, fried chicken and truckloads of desserts! Of course, I wouldn't pass on a chance to try everything, so I got a helping of each of the party's dishes.

Now, as far as I can remember, I was on a diet and I took an oath of food celibacy since September. But apparently, I suffered from short-term memory loss over the weekend and forgot all the reasons why I wanted to lose weight to begin with. I do suffer from guilt feelings but hey, food like that passes you once in a blue moon, so why not take the opportunity to indulge?

Now, where did I place my stash of M&Ms?
