That was different.

Food glorious food. Yes, back to that. If you have never watched the opening scene of the movie Oliver, please do so. The musical, yes, that's the one I am talking about. With all of the wonderful food being brought in past the thin, underfed boys. I am more like the overfed governors in the cozy room with a fireplace getting ready to over indulge in all kinds of smells, flavors and textures.

I confess, I am guilty of gluttony. I will eat over my limit. Until I feel sick. But I don't play that game. Where I promise I wont do it again. I know I will do it again. I am a compulsive over eater. It's what I do.

But, now I will tell you about some the things I will not, do not, can not eat. Strange but true. I have things I wont eat. And reasons too. I am an odd one, I do admit it.

Since I talk a lot about breakfast we can start there. I will not eat grits. Gross. They're gritty. Hence the name, I realize. But that texture on my sensitive palate. Nope, no way. Not going to happen. Yuck. Texture matters just as much as smell and taste. To me at least.

Fruit. Don't like very many fruits. But the worst. Bananas and strawberries. They are EVIL. I said it, I meant it. The both have major design faults. Bananas. The texture. It just isn't natural. The taste is twangy. Only word to describe it. No bananas for me mom.

Strawberries. Their seeds grow on the outside of the fruit. That's not right. Just isn't. Strawberry flavored things, are pretty tasty. Then the fruit itself is weird and yes, gritty. Mother nature's way of messing with us. How dare she. So again, texture matters and I will pass on the strawberries.

There's more but don't want to give up all my secrets at one time. No new breakthroughs this week. Just letting you know what goes on inside my crazy little head.

I will move on to the breakfast at hand. I will describe it as best as I can since I am again trying something new today.
 I tried something new. I got a frittata. Basically an open omelet. Meh. Don't get me wrong. It was tasty. I personally think I am quite funny when I tell the waitress it was awful after almost licking the plate clean.

It had eggs and cheese and tomatoes and mushrooms. It was good. It just didn't excite me. If I wanted boring food I would have stayed home. But I enjoy the eating out experience. So not a total loss. Oh, and it was one of those instances where I know there are too many calories to count so I call it a splurge day. You know, so THOSE calories didn't get counted. Such is the life of a food addict. I decide when the calories count and when they don't. I know I can't be the only person that does that. Am I?

There was also my usual coffee. Dark roast, 3 sweet and lows and 2 sugar-free french vanilla individual cups. I have decided I might try a different coffee next time. That's still up for debate. Unfortunately it's one of the most exciting things I have going on in my life right now.

So, in conclusion. There are lots of great tastes in the world. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface and I will let you know how my next meal out goes. Until then..

Eat well
