gement | The delights of food

Today I bought a bunch of produce. I usually only manage to shop about once a month (or less) and thus overbuy like crazy. I bought 11 bananas. (That's ridiculous. That's not even funny.*)

I'm going to try choosing non-meat entrees when I eat out for a while. My conspicuous consumption of meat bugs me ideologically, but going strictly vegetarian is the kind of effort I don't have. This is best demonstrated, paradoxically, by the fact that I'm never organized enough to cook meat at home. So if I skip it in restaurants as a matter of routine, I'll be nearly vegetarian by default without stressing over it.

I will still be inhaling*** dairy and eggs like some kind of small omnivorous vacuum cleaner. It would take something pretty dramatic to move me away from my dairy-centric lifestyle.

* This is a cultural reference that I learned second hand. I still, in all seriousness, usually consider the ridiculous to be funny.**

** I don't know why I felt the need to explain that.

*** Don't actually inhale dairy or egg products. It hurts like the dickens.
