Bad Habits
What I've eaten since 8:47am Sunday morning:
8:47 am- Bagel with cream cheese
1:15 pm- Ear of corn and yellow tomato with goat cheese
7:30 pm- Bagel with cream cheese + yellow tomato + vadalia onions
7:15 am - Top of cinnaman muffin
7:18 am - Piece of beef jerky, teriaki flavored
7:30 am - 2 apples
10:30 am - More beef jerky
2:30pm - Cheetos puffs
2:45 pm - The rest of the jerky
3:00 pm - Chocolate chip cookie and ginger ale
Ok, so I knew that I had some serious eating problems, which is why I wrote this for all of you, but I had NO idea it would be this bad. I'm actually pretty embarrassed. Not so embarrased that I won't post it, but just embarrassed enough to maybe do something about it. Part of my problem is I HATE grocery shopping, so I don't have much to pick from. Then, when I do go to buy food, I gravitate towards high calorie, low nutritional value type foods. I had an embarrassing incident that I won't go into, but it required me speaking with a doctor. The doctor asked what I'd eaten that day and I had to admit that all I'd eaten by 4 pm was oatmeal, 2 beers and raw cookie dough. I cursed myself that of course I had to have an incident that day, but truth be told, most days are humiliating to recall as far as diet is concerned. I blame it on my parents, who had the LARGEST snack drawer ever when I was growing up. I never learned the food pyramid. Maybe it was private school. I don't know, but something must be done. To my credit, I did take out a chicken breast from the freezer to thaw for dinner. Hopefully I can find some sort of cheese/molasses/lard topping for it.

So, I'm not sure why that list is soooo bad. I mean, I get that it's not great, but... are you trying to say I should stop doing the same thing (except for every muffin top/goat cheese concoction substitute burger or pizza)?
What's wrong with beef jerky?
Speaking of lard, the weekly news magazine this week featured a story on the wonders of lard. This was followed by a recipe for lardsnaps. While the picture looked good, I couldn't figure out why they didn't just call them gingersnaps, because that's what they were, but with lard. Now I don't want them.

And you're a good cook, too, if the wonderful meal you put together for us when you came out to visit was any indication! Get your groceries delivered. I love to grocery shop, but I'm too busy and that's the solution. Add stuff to your cart online and have it show up at your door!

oatmeal, two beers, cookie dough. I think that's just awesome. That's all.

Um, Jenny...I do not see much wrong with that diet. You had all the food groups and that extra bit of fat that you need to keep you going..lol

Hi Jenny--Thank you for posting this hilarious information. I had the best laugh I've had in ages!! and all as I'm sitting here eating an apple and peanuts for my breakfast. Hmmmm, they might taste a lot better with some lard.
love, Margie Nemerovski
