Scorecard

Last Wednesday's random offering: sweets (mostly hard candies) from, I think, Brazil.
Last week's happy hour: nachos and margaritas.
Friday's random offering: nuts coated with toffee and chocolate.
Monday's free lunch: burritos, tacos, and enchiladas, with nachos.
Tuesday: I think they had bagels but I honestly cannot remember for sure.
Today's random offering: enormous sticky pastries.

I don't know why this gets to me, because I firmly believe it is not anyone else's job to change anything just because I happen to have a really annoying restriction. (Why make more people miserable?) But it's just so bloody RELENTLESS. Is this really how Americans eat? All the TIME?? Is this really how I used to eat, all the time? With my family history of Type II diabetes? Why yes, I just might be a moron. (Right now I'm an annoyed moron.)

I do realize that the frustrating day I had yesterday probably has as much or more to do with my reaction to those pastries this morning as anything else does.

If I had to eat without being able to cook, right now, I'd be in really rough shape. Vegetarians or celiac folk at least have something they can tell someone. For this, there's no way.
