5/13

For a late breakfast, I had pancakes (around 10:40). I ate about 2 with plenty of maple syrup, milk (D, whole) to go with. The Pancakes were made from a store bought mix that my boyfriend bought, he made them as well. I ate them alone, however, because my boyfriend had to be somewhere else at the time.

After class I had an extra late lunch. I leaving town with my boyfriend to head to Auburn for my brother's graduation, so I picked up a salad and a random side of coleslaw to eat on the way. Yes, I ate in my car while my boyfriend drove. I would have liked to eat pretty much any other way, but we had to hurry and get to Auburn to eat dinner with the party of people who were waiting.
I chose a salad because they are light and I knew I'd be eating dinner shortly, also, I was kind of craving one at the time. I think I chose to add the coleslaw for an interesting reason- I like to eat numerous things in one meal. I enjoy having a few sides or options as I eat. So the small side of coleslaw was a bonus, haha.

When we finally arrived in Auburn, we all immediately headed out to dinner. We went to a Mexican restaurant, always a favorite food of mine. However, we did not get to eat until around 8:30 because the place was packed and the hostess kept moving larger parties of people in front of ours.
I ordered a chicken burrito with a side of rice and beans. Rice and beans are a fav. of mine when eating Mexican food. I like to mix them together. The burrito was alright, but the chicken was a little too dry.

Despite the fact that I ate my lunch in the car, I feel that today's meals were quite enjoyable, I was able to eat dinner with many people, mostly being my own family, and it was an added pleasure that we were celebrating my brother's graduation from getting his Masters degree.
I notice (but have always known) that I do not eat a lot of meat. This is not an intentional choice, oh, I do love the occasional steak, I just naturally enjoy veggies the most. I have to really be in the mood for meat to order/cook it.
