This Week's Lunch and More Fish Out of Water Stories

Well, let's start with the fish out of water story first. Fish out of water is my new euphemism for whenever I act like a caveman and don't follow societal norms that all grown fully functioning adults are meant to know and understand, purely because I have forgottem them in the last 7 years.

....... Today the bus drive had to teach me how to get off the bus.

I still remembered how to pull the string for the bell to indicate next stop. Pretty proud of myself there. And I was still playing Scramble as it pulled up to the curb. Then I stood there at the door. We were at the stop, but the door hadn't opened. I looked up at the driver, then thought, em, maybe he hasn't pulled up to his sweet spot yet. And then he shouted down the length of the bus "push on the door handle!" So I did. And the doors then opened. I stepped out, embarassed, only just remembering to shout back "THANK YOU!" at the bus driver, which people will often do here even when they haven't had to have special needs instructions to GET OFF THE BUS.

What a dufis.

Let's have a look at this week's lunch menu, and how I'm doing on avoiding all the nice food and eating only the salad!

Week of June 11

Monday
 ·         Greek Grilled Chicken
·         Braised Lentils
·         Lemon Potatoes
·         Greek Salad
·         Spinach Salad w White Beans
·         Pita & Tzsasikki

May's self-score: 7.5/10. Had a bit of tzatziki and the pita was a carb and a little greasy and there was feta on the salad. Didn't eat any potatoes tho! (p.s. those are my own celery and carrots, yes, from 3 weeks ago when I bought them with my cute Grandma! They were pretty dry)

Tuesday

 Steamrollers

May's self-score: 0/10. The steamroller is a burrito. and it was big. There were no side salads. I ate it all and I LOVED IT. Also, had a coke. When I am bad, I go all bad.


Wednesday

·         Indian Butter Chicken
·         Channa Dahl with Chickpeas and Coconut Milk
·         Coconut Roasted Cauliflower
·         Steamed Scented Basmati Rice
·         Raita
·          Garden Salad
·         Grilled Naan

 May's self-score: 8/10. Only had one piece of the butter chicken and 10 chick peas. There were mozza balls in the salad though. And that's a Tim Horton's french vanilla cappucino you see up in the corner of my monitor. Ate a banana for fruit, that's good right?

Thursday

Friday

Sandwiches and Salad

TBA for Thursday! I can't deal with that kind of unknown! Friday I'll be good - even going to peel the bread off the sandwiches and just eat turkey on top of the salads.

However, what isn't helping is the breakfasts I'm having and the dinners. Tonight was poutine at La Belle Patate, check out their menu! I got tired of reading by the second board and Clara and I got one traditional and one  La Belle, with smoked meat and beef :

Mmmm poutine. For all you ignants, that's fries*, gravy, and cheese curds. Nothing says mmm mmm good like the word curd. it's reminiscent of curdle, which is horrible, but I guess that's what cheese is.

Have downloaded the Calorie King on my ipod to make me feel bad about the poutine and control my DIET.

*If I'm explaining poutine to you, you must be English, and therefore I should have said chips. But I'm converting back, guys. I'm converting back. They are FRIES.
