Eating Well

It's been a really weird week for me, but I won't get into that... rather think about something nicer... like food!

It might appear that I dine on oysters every night and live a life of profound excess the way I talk about good food all the time... and while the idea I could possibly afford to do so is kind of nice... it really isn't the case. More often than not, I go out for cheap asian food or I make food at home or... most often... when I'm lazy as I am right now, eat something that requires minimal preparation time (but is delicious and healthy).

Right now I'm just eating a baguette I bought locally ($2.25), some organic cherry tomatoes ($3.25) and I should have enough left over from it to get another meal, if not two, from it. The bread I'm just dipping in a mix of equal parts olive oil (spiced) and balsamic vinegar I had kicking around the pantry.

It's a simple, cheap lunch, it's bloody delicious, and it fills you up for the day. There's never any good reason to eat poorly. And sometimes... of course, when I can afford to, there's no reason not to skip over and buy a dozen oysters for the night, shuck them, and have them for dinner. =)
