Year 3, Day 5: I Don't Like Mondays, Again


They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, but this march has continually roared but at the weirdest and most inconvenient times. Just when you're ready to break out the shorts, it got freezy, and this really could lead you to eat a lot of chocolate chips, for instance.

Breakfast
Kashi Go Lean!
Heritage Flakes
Blueberries
Banana
Unsweetened Soy Milk
Coffee

Snack
4 sticks beef jerky
2 oz 50% Jalapeno Cheddar

Russo's $6.01
Romaine, red pepper, red onion, feta
chicken, broccoli, mushrooms,
balsamic vinegar, pepperocini

Dinner
Turkey Crumble by Emily
Lettuce Leaves
a few hamburger bites
2 bites of a Joseph's Net Carb wrap with cheese (to entice magnolia to eat it)

I love Joseph's Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas. They have the greatest marketing right on the package (but no web site). "No trans fats! 5 Net Carbs! Excellent Source of Omega-3s (a health benefit on which the jury is still out) are striped across the package. Yet, the name defies all of it's fans- it's like they had a marketing director but he/she quit prior to the naming and Web site creation. If you don't believe me, do a google search- you'll find lots of people talking about how good they are, but no one getting the name just right. And what kind of name has 9 words in it? Though it must be said they are everything a tortilla should be that a pita (and honestly most some tortillas) is not: they are pliant, and perfect for- well, wrapping things in. Since Magnolia loves cheese I thought she would dig what is really a grilled cheese sandwich but in a spherical roll-up that she could hold in one hand. Alas, I was wrong, but I did eat a lot of it trying to get her to eat it. Such is the burden of parenthood.
