New year, more food.

A strange thing happened to me.  I was out eating my breakfast, as usual. And I got full. What? How could I be full when my plate wasn't clean. Yes, I come from the "clean your plate" generation. And even now as a sane person and  all grown up, I still feel the need to always clean my plate. Why is it we can't move past that as adults? I know I don't have to eat it all. But my mind goes back to what I was taught. Eat it all or you wont get dessert.

When I'm at home I generally only put on my plate what I know is a portion and what I should be eating. But let's face it. When you go out to eat almost anywhere the portions are just outrageous. But as a compulsive eater, I still want to eat it all. But some how in this particular case, I managed to actually leave food on my plate. Sometimes I amaze myself.
But then I was also already planning what it was I wanted for dinner that night. 
I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of spicy hot food. Nor am I a fan of any food laying on a bed of rice. I mean I like the food I just don't like the bed of rice. At least usually. Of course being the unusual person that I am I do break my own rules. So after breakfast,  I went and got something I like to think of as a guilty pleasure. This is something I've been thinking about for a while but had been putting off. I have been thinking about sushi.
Now I know I could go out to eat and order sushi. There is a place right by where I live that makes wonderful sushi as well as the whole meal. That would mean sushi, soup, salad, fried rice, and whatever else I could pile on top of that.
So, you can see how the calories would add up with all of that. So, I have not gone to that place to eat recently. Almost too much pressure on myself just thinking about it. 
But, it occurred to me that there's a place, also right near to me where I could get just sushi. Strangely enough that is one of my exceptions to my rule of rice. I enjoy the texture of sticky rice. It doesn't have an overwhelming flavor. But I enjoy the texture. So I went and I got my sushi made freshly just for me. I ate it for dinner. And I liked it.
I also enjoy wasabi. Being that I don't normally like spicy or hot food that kind of break the rule to but, the flavor is just unusual enough that I endure it being hot just for that pleasure. I don't normally eat it in front of other people because it tends to make me make funny faces. It makes my nose run and my eyes water. And I kind of imagine smoke coming out of my nose like a cartoon person that ate something really hot.
Anyway. I do enjoy other things besides breakfast foods. I just don't usually eat things I refer to as unusual. But rules get broken sometimes. Food gets eaten, and enjoyed.  And it will happen again.
Until next time.
Eat well.
