how many more days of food can I stand?

Well, surely I will keep eating. But will I keep reporting? I suppose that is the $64,000 question. What can you buy for $64,000 anyway? A pretty nice car. I could buy food for approximately 13 years. Wow. 13 years worth of Crispy Rice and Ginger Zinger granola cereal with Soy Nice soy milk. Greens+ and protein with vitamin tonic. Lovely combination. Raspberry Activa yogurt and a Val Nature granola bar. Banana bread from Claudine (Priceless). Tabouli, lentil salad, cheese and bread courtesy of the fine people at SCIREQ, who have hired me as their office nutritional consultant. Ok, that's not true, I just had lunch with Leslie at her office. Nice people though. They played along. Pat filed his report: "it was pretty good." Solid. Dave (I think it was Dave) needs to eat more salad. Apparently his wife is a wicked cook. What else? Lemonade and a maple cookie with Dave (not the same Dave), then a smoothie and a cookie at Café Vienne, en attendant mon ami Jean-Yves. For dinner: steak with fried onions and green peppers, rice, and a spinach salad (with tomatoes, red peppers and Gruyere cheese, oil and vinegar dressing). And a maple cookie for dessert. Pas pire. I could do that (or similar) for 13 years with $64,000. Or I could go on an all-inclusive vacation to Cuba every year for 64 years. But then what would I eat???

Well it is all-inclusive, you would definitely have lots of choices. And you'd definitely have to get a digital camera and photo-blog that.

True, only blogging food can get a bit... tedious to do. That poetry was a nice touch though!

Jean-Yves as in J-Y C??? Tell him I'm having a poutine and a slice of cheesecake for every day I can't run...

I don't know what you two are talking about. We haven't even gotten to all the holidays. There is enough material in December to keep you busy for three months. Lets not forget about thanksgiving, Halloween, the pumpkin pies of october, the apple delights of september, I won't even contemplate the joys of Oktoberfest, and Ramandam. You definitely got to get a camera so we can taste the colours you've swallowed.

I Like the poetry though, it was creative of cooking the food.
