Dinner for One

With my daughter off to her boyfriend's house for the evening and my son sleeping (he works nights), I figured I'd do something for my marriage today and see if my wife wanted to go out to dinner. Nope. She was ready to relax and not go anywhere. She already changed out of her work clothes. So I'm left to my own devices for dinner.

I contemplated a set of finger foods from the freezer: french fries, couple of egg rolls and a mini frozen pizza. After some serious talking to myself about food choices, I elected to have a large Caesar Salad - home made of course. One romaine heart, some Parmesan cheese, croutons and dressing later I was in business. Read the on-line news for about 20 minutes while eating.

Just as soon as I was done eating, I needed a PBJ. Don't know why I needed one, but I talked myself out of it. Instead I tried something to drink, thinking that maybe I was just thirsty instead of hungry. Had a small glass of diet Pepsi, waited about 10 minutes and wham - I'm reasonably full and I while I still would like to have a PBJ, I don't need one.

And yes, I did eat a bit after 6 PM if you're playing along at home...
