It’s 3:49am. I don’t know if I went to bed too early or ate dinner too late or if it’s simply a combination of those things that has caused me to be wide awake at this quiet, dark hour. I’ve got one light on in the living room and I can faintly hear the rain outside.
Most nights that I find myself awake at this hour are a result of some random marketing ideas that pop in to my brain and cause me to pull blank paper from my nightstand and write for a bit. That ides turns into another variation and so on. Soon, it’s time for the coffee machine to come on. However, that’s not what has happened tonight.
Tonight Last night we celebrated TGIF by meeting four other friends out at a bar called The Winking Lizard. It’s a great place for socializing, great beer, a long wait on a Friday, and some would even say…great food. If you would have asked my opinion a few years ago, maybe even last year, I’d agree wholeheartedly. Now, it’s 4 in the morning and I’ve had a slight epiphany.
I really don’t like that food anymore.
Don’t get me wrong, I think I like the food. That’s why I order it. I usually close out a week of hard work and great workouts with dinner out. And, I usually like it. So naturally, I ordered what most bars take pride in making, a burger and cheese fries. I ordered precisely what my hubby likes and thought I’d give it a try.
I can’t say that it wasn’t prepared wonderfully, but I can say I wasn’t excited when it was placed in front of me. It was greasy and heavy and it really didn’t taste as great as I’d expected.
Dear Burger and Fries,
It’s me, not you! I’ve been eating cleaner foods for over a year now. I’ve always allowed myself a rendezvous every now and then with a great American classic, but you just didn’t do it for me. I should have ordered the crispy chicken salad with one of those great dressings! I should’ve enjoyed a nice amber lager! Don’t take offense, I just don’t find your kind of food satisfying anymore. I hope you live a great life.
Love, Me
