19 January 2007

Breakfast: From Burger King, SOS on bisquits, their tater-tot-like potatoe things, a can of D.P. and a couple of cups of coffee. My wife had asked me to get her breakfast since I had to get up early anyway...

Lunch: At "Kates": We split a very large appetizer: notchols with shredded cheese and beans (their "small"!), four big pieces of deep fried chicken, the largest amount of home fries I've seen in years (I hope they were cooked in veggie oil!) and a glass of "Diet Pepsi". The prices were quite "reasonable" (i.e. low). A glass of "Diet Pepsi" was $1.25 and a refill 90¢ but the waitress only came around to take our orders and dropped off the check with the meal.

She wasn't looking for a large tip, I guess and obviously thought that trying to sell me a refill wasn't cost effective. That and the fact this old fart stood next to our table (he was in a line to leave) and fumagated the air with his cigarette were my only bitches about the place. The food was worth it and I hope those "heros" (yup,
irony) on the City Counsel get around to banning smoking in restaurants real soon now!

Afternoon snack: I made some choclate pudding from an old cook book; it was fine but not to modern tastes. I won't make it again...

Dinner: Several pieces of sausage, three pancakes with butter and diabetic syrup and a can of D.P. Then, when I tested my blood sugar 2 hours after finishing dinner, it was 170! This was a lot higher than I had expected...
