Fast Food Weakness

I hit McD's on my way to work this morning for a little breakfast burrito magic. I love those things.

Those are good. When I was 18, I used to skip morning college classes just to sit in the McD's parking lot, eating breakfast buritto's, and listening to Howard Stern.

We had a roast going yesterday in the crockpot but, for whatever reason, there was a power outage and the roast was a loss. We ended up getting Taco Bell. It was good, but I would've preferred roast. AND I left my leftovers (I always get a lot and have some for lunch the next day) at home this morning.

I *hate* that! But, I'm not only Queen Dopplepopolis... I'm also Queen of Forgetting Stuff at Home.

Like today... I realized in the middle of my first class today that I forgot to print out my take home midterm for my hardest class this semester. There was much mental swearing... and now, after the 45 minute drive BACK home, I'll be leaving momentarily to make the 45 minute drive BACK to school to hand the damn thing in.

But - I'll get a nice lunch here at home. *shrug*

Sounds like you need to go back to Taco Bell again today!

Nah, they're in the fridge.

That sounds absolutely delicious. I had Rice Krispies for breakfast... not satisfying. I could definately go for a fast food fix this afternoon.

What is wrong with McDonalds ceasing to sell the Egg & Sausage McMuffin after 11am? It's the best thing on their menu (actually almost the only thing I like). I think they miss out on a significant amount of business by not having a short "all day breakfast" menu of their morning highlights.

You see, McDonalds is going to excel whenever they decide to make something involving sausage. Basically sausage making is about grinding up low-grade meat and then applying so much sugar and sodium that it's good again. This is what McDonalds does with everything; so, when they apply this theory to something to which it actually should be applied, they shine!

Quote from some random comedian I saw once who's name I can't remember.

Comedian in Burger King at 8am: I'll have a hamburger.

BK Flunkie: Sir, we don't sell hamburgers at breakfast.

Comedian (points to sign): So I can't have it my way?

BK Flunkie: Sir, no one would be gauche enough to eat a hamburger at 8am.

Comedian: Gauche? I'm getting gauche from a woman who wears a name tag?

Most of the fast food I east is Jack in the Box, because it's pretty well across the street from my work. Even so, I eat it fairly rarely- less than 1/week, prolly on average about 1.5/month.

If I had my druthers, my fast food would be Carl's Jr., but not more frequently than it is now. I can really feel the difference in my body after I eat fast food, or especially when I drink soda (or other corn syrup-based drinks). I try to stay away from them- I've really started drinking too much soda again because I have a card for a free drink with a sandwich at Togo's.

(Actually, if Togo's counts as fast food, that's prolly my big fast food fix. However, I don't think it counts- it's somehow not the same. Maybe cause you can't get fries?)

Prolly involves cooking the egg.

When I was younger I worked at a Burger King. We stopped serving breakfast at 11 (iirc), but you could still get most of the breakfast items if you asked. Hash browns? Throw a square into the fryer. Sausage? Into the friar. Bacon? Hell, it's ready anyway- there's all kinds of bacon burgers.

Eggs? Light up the griddle, pour out the pre-egg fluid, wait for it to cook, cut and flip with a special egg-cutting and -flipping utensil, wait some more, serve; then clean the damn griddle.

Way too much work, for what is usually one customer (or group of customers).

Swanky Mac's Fries do hit the spot once in a while.
