Meals=
Breakfast: Bowl of
Honey & Oat Tasteeos and milk
Lunch: 1 PB&J
sandwich, 1 orange, and 3 cookies
Dinner: 2 hot dogs
with cheese on bread, Caesar salad, cookies
Still, as you can see, the only meal that is really varying is my
dinner, and my dessert is still a constant.
I haven’t mentioned what I have
been drinking. It is not that exciting: water and an occasional glass of milk.
I have only been drinking tap water (not my usual Brita filtered water) and as
I am already down to about a ½ a gallon of milk, I really need to start
rationing that better. For my dinner today I did something that I rarely do: I
ate my hot dogs WITHOUT ketchup. The rules for this challenge did stipulate
that I am allowed to use condiments and spices that I already have in the house,
but since my brother-in-law thought that might be cheating, I did without.
What has definitely begun to
make this week more difficult is being surrounded by food that is better
tasting and healthier. Tonight, my sister and brother-in-law had a homemade Stromboli,
and man did it look delicious! I wonder how often I have consumed food without
taking a minute to realize how fortunate I am that I have this food, or even
just to appreciate the quality of ingredients that were used. The cheese that I
bought for this week is by no means of the highest quality (I did get it for
only $.99). Someone mentioned that they look a little bit like military rations…
Day 3 has come to a close and I am thinking that I may need to use my
remaining $8.51 to spice up the variety of food I have left…this must be when
you really start to remember that you are living on food stamps.
