food

I think we are going to focus on "food" in this blog post, because I saw a TV show last night that featureds marvelous cakes, and that got me in a "food" frame of mind.

The food here sucks. The only really good meal they serve is breakfast. You can get anything you want for breakfast.

The old lady who eats with me always gets some of EVERYTHING f0r breakfast. The help doesn't even ask anymore, they just bring it! She has oatmeal, French Toast, 4 slices of regular toast, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, sliced fruit. She eats maybe 2 bites of egg, total. The rest she has them wrap in a napkin and she carrries it to her room.

Maybe she thinks she'll starvee before noon!

Anyway, the bill of fare here is nothing to brag abouut. It is, of course, nutritious and bland, and it is certainly nothing to get hungry about. BUT (and this is a bad thing!) THEY SERVE ICE CREAM WITH EVERY MEAL! That keeps families from complaininhg about grandma wasting away to nothing, I guess, but sure isn't healthy.

But, actually, upon further consideration, I'm not being fair. If you don't want what is on the menu, there are a variety of other selections that can be ordered - hamburger, omlette, pb&j, etc.

I've found a fantastic restaurant down the street. It is Sweet Green, and for about $10.00, you can construct yourself a great big entree salad with any veeggies you want.
