Apparently the other thing is spaghetti and tomato sauce. Eh. I wanted to do it with bacon and peas, but I have no peas in the freezer! One of the things I like least about having moved: I no longer have all of the things I always have in the house.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

We're getting pizza for dinner. I'm not sure if my healing gums can handle tomato sauce yet, so I'm getting one with olive oil, soy cheese, eggplant, and spinach. My parents are getting pepperoni and pineapple or something like that.

Our wings are not tired.
ita, the first swipe a restaurant does usually doesn't include the tip amount; with BofA, it takes a couple of days for the amount with tip to be deducted. Don't know if it's the same for your bank?

Salad for dinner. It's all I really feel like.
Figured out the trick to avoid the hoards is to hit the pool by 4:45 on thursdays. Too bad it's hard to get out of work in time for that. Today I just bugged out early since the network was going down at 5 and I'd taken down all our servers already. Nice long swim. God I love this habit.
Right. Dinner. And some business email...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe that's it, javachik. I'm with BofA. I'd never noticed it before. Shame they got me thinking about it--I might never have asked here if I hadn't noticed, and now their tips are going down.
Not that I loved the food anyway, but if I get a Thai craving at work, they're about it.

Siting in a restaurant waiting for my mother who is almost 15 minutes late. It's extra irritating because I'm only here because she needed me to drive her to costco, and SHE suggested dinner.

So, I'm making calls for my Senate candidate, and just had a really interesting conversation -- I'm just glad it worked out, because she asked about the health care thing, and I started talking about abortion, and that was totally the right way to go. But man, it sure might not have been.

People are eating less meat, both for health reasons and for economic reasons. So, to support the meat industry, there's a new proposal to give extra money to people who already get food stamps, with the condition that the extra money can only be spent on animal products. [link]

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, that'll address some of the people who aren't eating it for economic reasons. The not vegetarians/vegans will surely appreciate the break from the All Carb diet a lot of them end up on.

Pretty much all the studies and programs addressing nutritional needs have shown that most low-income people get plenty of protein and need more fruits and vegetables. The studies done in the sixties and seventies showed protein deficiency, which was why all the programs giving dairy and peanut butter and meat were started, but most of the more recent studies have shown a reversal of that.
