What's For Dinner

Putting together a meal plan at home has been a struggle since I started working full time.  When I moved out and moved in to my apartment I was always looking forward to cooking something up on the stove.  Shopping for food was bliss.  I had pasta daydreams.  I just wanted to make something I would consume myself.

Alas, when I worked nine-to-six for nine months I kinda neglected the stove.  Right now I am not even sure if I have enough gas in my tank.  My two-door fridge is empty.  I bet there is something rotting in the pantry.

At the moment I have tons of time in my hands as I have quit my full time job.  Although I have to say I will be busy in the coming weeks, my time is still something I can manage myself.  Right now I had substantial time to cook my dinner but instead of thinking of what to cook, I was considering which fast food to hit.  There's a newly opened KFC around the corner, and I caught myself thinking if I should get a Zinger or settle for a smaller-sized chicken sandwich as I am trying to manage my, say, health.  Because of such indecision I am still sitting in my home get-up and thinking that the early evening news and recovery from a very recent allergy attacks are enough to keep me home and undecided in the next thirty minutes.  But what the hey.

Right now I don't even know what I want to eat.  In a way I am starting to understand those who have lost their appetite and that eating is just a necessary function.  I am afraid I might start to binge in a few days and then I'll go on a hunger strike again just because nothing seems to appeal to me.  I don't know how this will work out now that the holidays will hit everyone like a sudden under current and food will continue to magically appear in-front of you.

Or maybe being under the weather in the past two days have been causing this similarity to a terminal ennui, a decided disinterest.  The small bar of Snickers did not work.  I am immune to caffeine though I swallowed it with a floating capsule of antihistamine.  I had a small piece of liempo for lunch and a sampler of fruit from the supermarket for merienda.

I think I'll have a Zinger for dinner.
