IT'S NOT DELIVERY, IT'S . . . $1.20. (sigh)

“Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit."

First off, I would like to put the suffering that I will endure until Friday morning into perspective. As a manager at Great Lakes Brewing Company, I am constantly surrounded by temptation. No snagging a piece of bacon as I walk through the kitchen; no refreshing beer after work. I am now an observer. I'm imprisoned in these very walls by taunts of, "hey, I'll sell you a french fry for two cents!" No, we're not going out like that. I am on the straight and narrow. Will power and the spirit of resilience will overcome

Alas . . . resilience! One two pound bag of flour: $1.59. Yeast: $0.25. One large can of tomato sauce: $1.00. Two bags of shredded cheese: $4.38. The finished product: Six, 10 inch pizzas. BOOOYAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Actual food, that tastes like food! It's not going to score many points in a throwdown with Booby Flay, but it can certainly trick my taste buds for a few meals. Then, back to . . . well . . . leave me alone and let me enjoy a small victory.

On Friday I consumed:

LUNCH (4 pm)
One egg salad sandwich (which I was very happy with)
One piece of toast with peanut butter (If you took the Pepsi Challenge with Value Time vs Peter Pan or Skippy or whatever, you'd be pleasantly surprised)
One banana

DINNER (1 am)
One peanut butter sandwich
Half a sleeve of saltine crackers with more egg salad

Last night I also shook off the notion of becoming a hermit for an evening and ventured out with some friends. These friends enjoy the same fondness for socializing over food and drinks that I do. So how did it go?

[insert cricket chirp sound effect here]

Until later, I bid you good eating,
