Looks worse than it is
I have never been known for my culinary normality. For example, the Scarlet Harlot has frequently been appalled at my consumption of wads of meat. (For reference, I think that would be a cool nickname: wad).
Well, I have been trying to lean up for my 30th birthday coming up in about 3 weeks (teenage girl references not necessary - I know what drives me.) So that has meant a lot of spartan salads. So my typical work lunch is a sack of salad, wad(s) of meat and something crunchy in it as a treat. I bought one of those variety packs of chippy-snacks (Doritos, Freetos, Lays, chips, etc.) because it gives me a little treat and it forces me to eat only one portion (which is shockingly small once you have seen it poured out of the bag). I usually dump the contents of the salty snack on my salad in lieu of croutons.
Today was the first day I ate one of Munchies Kids Mix sacks. Popcorn, doritos, cheetos and pretzels. Yum! I dumped it on my salad (iceberg lettuce, one can of drained tuna fish, and a splattering of ginger carrot dressing) and was chomping through it when I tasted something sweet. I looked a little closer at the package: It also has M&M like chocolate pieces and -- get this -- Cap'n Crunch Cereal.
At first, my mind couldn't get over the cereal-tuna-lettuce combo, but then, I remembered my sister's advice: It all ends up in the same place anyway. *shrug* It's actually not that bad.
