Day 19 - salad on the couch

This is no special recipe with strange ingredients. It just meant that for dinner I ate my salad on the couch, not at the table.


The reason? The table was so damn crowded from various things (and being Saturday and lazy and all) I just opted not the clean and eat on the couch instead :) In my defense (about the crowded table) I can say that we live in such a small appartment that sometimes you just can't find a spot where to place things, not to mention the problem with dirty dishes.

The salad was bought today on the market and, I must say, you don't buy such a salad in a hipermarket. We always buy from the same vendour - the one that has the longest line of people waiting :) Always a success! It took me like half an hour to eat this bowl of delicious veggies and now I call it a day.

Everytime I have a salad I appear to have a crisis over the tuna. That is, because I always used to eat this salad with tuna. Today, I contemplated like 5 minutes whether or not to include tuna. Finally, I decided I couldn't have come this far only to fall over a stupid can of tuna. Maybe for day 30 I'll treat myself but for now, I vote no.

My partner's advice was to "have what I want". Always the politic. After I have eaten my salad, he suggested that "it would do me good to eat some fish here and there" and that "even many of those who eat vegetarian consume some fish here and there for omega-3".

We'll see. Today, I won, not the tuna.

  1. "This is no special recipe with strange ingredients" ...LOL :-))))

    great strategy with the longest line :-)) Might try that as well :-)))

    You're really brave and successful in resisting temptations, I see! :) well, your partner advises you to "have what you want", but my problem with this would be that I wouldn't know what I want :-))

  2. Another shopping advice: when choosing the cashier to pay for goods: calculate the total amount of years of those waiting in the line and choose the line that is "the youngest" - not by people standing but in total amount. And especially avoid choosing lines with elder ladies. Just, trust me :)

    You know, when you crave something, you know exactly what you want. Like, tuna. Potato chips. Chocolate. Simple.
