Day 5 - Cake for Supper

Low: You may be wondering how Cake is actually allowed on this diet. In truth, it isn't, unless like tonight you get your cake in the musical form. Cake (the band) came into town so Mega and I went out to see them. But we couldn't very well go out on an empty stomach so we fixed a nice meal of oven roasted sweet potatoes and garlic bison patties on a bed of spinach. We figured that bison is kosher since it counts as wild game and is organic and grass fed. Plus it is delicious. The patties turned out really well, and we know that we can fix those up again the next time we have a BBQ. I'm sure they'd be even better when cooked over a grill.

After patties, and Cake, we came back home and had a nice mango for dessert. Mega had to learn the proper way to eat a mango, but didn't feel comfortable enough to fully abandon her western utensils and jump right in and eat the mango jungle style. I, however, always eat my mangoes with my hands and as a result I usually end up with mango all over my face. Tonight was no exception and as in the past, no one cared enough to let me know that I had mango all over my face. Such are the plights of my existence.


Mega: In my defense, I didn't see any mango on your face until you pointed it out. If I would have seen it, I would have said something. That is how deep my love for you is...

Hmmm, what was awesome about today? The weather, my bf, the patties, the park, Cake, and the mango. I'm so glad Liz told me about Cake coming into town. I had heard it before, but had forgotten. The show was fab. And the drunk couple in front of us was hilarious. As the night progressed, so did their drinking, occasional tongue twistering, and butt slapping. Too funny!! (Minus the deep throat tonguing.) ----barf----

I have to say, this diet has made us really expand our food selection and jump started our creativity. Who would have thought ground up bison and garlic patties over a bed of spinach would be yummy? I didn't, but was willing to wing it cuz I was starving and in need of some meat. Mmmmmmm.....mmeaaattttt.

As far as eating my mango with a spoon, it was just as good, but less messy. Plus, it's what the instructions said to do. No one will be calling me mango face. Just mango teeth since it has this terrible habit of getting stuck. But that's what floss was invented for. Mango teeth. It's true. Wiki it. ---cough--- If it's not there, just keep checking.
