I know Americans are getting fat and fast food is a major contributor to it, but sometimes I just can’t help it. Normally I eat pretty well. My portions are still too large, but the plate is covered in vegetables, whole grains, and whatever I can afford on the organic aisle. Still, good for you meals take time to make and a working kitchen. Both of which I currently lack. So today at lunch, when I was faced with going hungry or eating a single banana, I fell off the wagon and crawled to Taco Bell. And it was everything I thought it could be!
The food, as always, was cheap, quick, and sloppily made. The quality was worse than that batch of mac and cheese one of my best friends burned last year. So why did I eat it? Maybe today’s lapse back into the world of fast food was really just me wanting to relive my college days when $10 made me a food buying demi-goddess before the eyes of my fellow RPers. Maybe I just wanted to see the cool sauce packet sayings again. (I think a proposal with the ‘Will You Marry Me’ fire packet would be awesome beyond all reality! And that’s way past Pluto.) Or maybe I just really, really didn’t want the banana. In any case, I am lounging in my computer chair a full and happy camper.
As the salt courses through my veins and leads to either a heart attack in ten years or the early onset of hypertension this month, I am left to ponder the noble spork resting quietly on my desk. Aren’t these things genius? I mean, seriously! It’s a fork and a spoon! If you get the super cool ones at the camping supply stores, the edge is serrated so that you can also have a knife. Now that is a utensil!

I crave these from thinkgeek.com. As soon as those bad boys come out, I’m going to have a set. You know, once they go on clearance or I find a cheaper place. : )
