I had to settle for a vending machine lunch today.
The clock simply ran out.
Full disclosure: this is not a hardship for me. I like junk food a bit too much. But as I get older, I have a harder time justifying vending machine fare as a meal.
This is what I settled for today:
I figured Combos are basically cheese and crackers; that’s not a horrible lunch entree. And the banana — which I got at the convenience store in the morning — added another food group and made me feel like I got a semi-dessert.
I think I did pretty good. (Plus, I avoided the Pop Tarts that I really wanted.)
What do you consider an acceptable vending machine meal?
Food stereotypes
Freshdirect.com, my favorite website for ordering groceries in the neighborhood, posted this ‘goodbye to summer’ today on Facebook.
But they can’t honestly be suggesting that my popsicles, fudge bars and toffee crunch bars — all reduced fat and sugar-free, of course — should be packed away with my summer clothes and flip flops….
Not even.
I find popsicles refreshing year round. They are the perfect light dessert — that little taste of sweet that doesn’t linger compared to heavy cakes and pies.
They aren’t seasonal. They’re sensible.
Turning up the thermostat also works.
Let’s give food a chance.
