Fast Food Fun

I rely on the drive through window at various fast food restaurants more than I should. Not because I like the food, oh no, to be honest, I usually don’t even get anything to eat. I use it to get out of cooking for two picky kids. The thought of fashioning a nutritious meal that they will agree on and actually consume is like planning and executing a marathon mountain hike. But with fast food, Princess (who is undergoing a massive growth spurt) can load up on tons of food, and Gothgrrl can get a small soda or a dessert. Its quick enough that I can drive through two different restaurants if that’s what they prefer. I feel so guilty about it, but I don’t know exactly why. Neither are in any danger of becoming overweight. They eat nutritious breakfasts and balanced school lunches. But I still feel guilty about not being the perfect stay-at-home-mom, ready with homemade afterschool snacks and a balanced dinner together at the table at 6PM.



It's called "fast" food because you're supposed to eat it really fast. Otherwide, you might actually taste it.

The big problem with "fast" food is that it slows down when it hits your stomach. And it just parks there--and lets the fat have time to get off and apply for citizenship.

The silly way Subway puts cheese on a sandwich. It’s a plot!

The Lunch Goddess will help you out when you can’t decide what to have for lunch.

So the Big Mac is 40. When Ray Kroc decided to spotlight this new sandwich on the menu, he decided to name it after one of the original McDonald brother, Mack and Dick. If only he’d chosen the other brother!

Thought for today: You deserve a break today, so stay home and have a nice fresh sandwich.

Personally, I prefer to slowly savor a meal from my nearby fast food restaurants. The aroma...the culinary eccentricity of flavors...and to sit and satisfyingly listen to my arteries harden. 'Tis a real joy for a true culinary barbarian.

That French fry experiment has been done down between the cushions of my couch...many times...and fries last for YEARS not mere weeks

Don't sweat it. Even Donna Reed couldn't pull that trick off today.

I miss reading your stuff. I'm so far behind I'd have to spend all day here at the library for at least a week. And that would suck.

I've been single so long, that I'm sick of eating at the Golden Armpits.
