what i ate wednesday: issue 47.5

Please forgive me for not posting an entire day's worth of food. This is my first time. Don't I get one free pass?

This week, my dear readers, I am staying in a hotel at an academic conference out of town. On Monday, I had two downright scary presentations to tackle - so I knew excactly how to treat myself the Sunday evening before. I hit the pavement quickly after checking into my hotel to collect supplies:


1. Wine (specifically, a 3-glass mini Boca box of merlot).
2. An inappropriately massive salad (specifically, a Jason's Deli salad bar explosion with greens, a hard-boiled egg, apple slices, tons of veggies, trail mix, pickled beets, feta cheese, balsamic vinegar, and honey).
3. A pint of icecream (specifically, a pint of choclate peanut butter Arctic Zero to which I added spoon-fulls of real peanut butter). 


4. My PJ's.
5. My king-sized hotel bed.
6. My flat-screen TV tuned to Food Network.

Those presentations on Monday? I kicked ass.

  13. Congrats! Btw I have never thought of using a hotel's ice bucket for keeping ice cream chilled but now I know what to do next time I'm travelling ;). Oh how I've missed your dry wit and your posts! I have been reading from time to time and catching up, but am so glad to comment again ;).

  14. OF COURSE you kicked ass. I wouldn't have expected anything else.
    Plus, with that salad and boxed wine to fuel you, you were destined to succeed.

    Congratulations! (:
